Question
How far in advance should I order conference badges?
Answer
Plan to order conference badges about two to three weeks before your event. That window leaves room for design review, proofing, and shipping without a last-minute scramble.
- Lock your artwork and the final name list early, since edits after approval reset the clock
- Larger quantities or special finishes need a little more lead time
- If the date is close, look for rush or same-day options to compress the schedule
| Stage | Rough time |
|---|---|
| Design and proof review | 2 to 4 days |
| Production | 2 to 5 business days |
| Shipping | 1 to 5 business days by method |
| Buffer for reprints | A few extra days |
