When these details are not coordinated early, even a relatively simple lanyard order can develop problems. A badge may not fit its holder, sponsor artwork may change after printing approval, or several attendee categories may arrive mixed together just before the event.
This convention lanyard planning guide explains how organizers, event agencies, gaming brands and promotional product distributors can specify, order and receive custom lanyards and badge kits more efficiently.
It combines practical event procurement considerations with manufacturing insights from LOVECOLOUR, a Guangzhou-based custom lanyard manufacturer with dedicated lanyard production experience since 2014. Our factory workflow includes webbing weaving, transfer-paper printing, heat transfer, cutting, sewing, assembly and packing.
Quick Answer: What Should You Confirm Before Ordering Convention Lanyards?
Before placing a bulk convention lanyard order, confirm the event’s credential categories, quantities per design, badge dimensions, lanyard materials, printing artwork, attachment compatibility, sponsor approvals, packaging instructions and required delivery date.
For a typical anime or gaming convention, the most important decisions are:
- Who needs a credential? Attendees, staff, volunteers, exhibitors, artists, media, VIP guests and other approved categories.
- What must the lanyard carry? A PVC event badge, paper badge in a holder, laminated credential or another compatible item.
- What artwork is required? Event branding, attendee role text, original illustrations, authorized gaming artwork or sponsor logos.
- How many designs are needed? Confirm the quantity of each version instead of providing only the total order quantity.
- How will products be distributed? Bulk packing, role-sorted bundles, pre-assembled badge sets or individually packed merchandise.
- When must the order arrive? Use the actual warehouse or event-preparation deadline, not just the convention opening date.
A complete specification established before sampling helps reduce artwork revisions, accessory mismatches and last-minute packing changes.
1. Understand the Difference Between Convention Credentials and Fan Merchandise
Anime and gaming events often involve two different product programs: operational credentials used to identify people at the venue, and branded merchandise intended for promotion, gifting or retail sale.
Both programs may use printed lanyards, but the purchasing priorities can be quite different.
Convention Credential Lanyards
Credential lanyards are typically ordered by event organizers, registration contractors or approved suppliers. Their primary purpose is to display a badge or credential according to the event’s identification requirements.
These orders may require large quantities, multiple attendee categories, dependable hardware, matching badge sizes and clearly separated packing.
Anime & Gaming Merchandise Lanyards
Merchandise lanyards are often purchased by licensed merchandise companies, game publishers, retailers, original-art brands or promotional product distributors.
These products may emphasize detailed illustrations, decorative hardware, custom PVC charms, multiple artwork variations and branded retail packaging.
| Purchasing Factor | Convention Credentials | Fan Merchandise |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | Attendee identification and badge carrying. | Promotional, collectible or retail product. |
| Artwork focus | Event identity, roles and sponsor visibility. | Illustrations, character themes and brand presentation. |
| Typical accessories | Hooks, safety breakaways, badge holders and cards. | Custom charms, decorative attachments and packaging. |
| Packaging | Bulk or role-sorted distribution. | Individual retail-ready packing. |
| Major risk | Incorrect quantities, incompatible badges or late delivery. | Artwork rights, design quality and incorrect SKU packing. |
A large convention may require both programs. In that case, they should be managed as separate product specifications even when they share the same event branding.
2. Build an Attendee Credential Matrix Before Choosing Lanyard Designs
One of the most effective ways to organize a convention badge program is to create an attendee credential matrix. This document lists each credential type, the quantity required, its artwork version and the corresponding badge configuration.
For example, an anime convention may require general attendee badges, exhibitor credentials, staff badges, volunteer passes, VIP credentials and media badges.
Example: Multi-Category Convention Credential Plan
The following figures are illustrative planning quantities, not an actual customer order or a statement of manufacturing minimums.
| Category | Example Quantity | Design Reference | Suggested Packing |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Attendees | 2,500 pcs | CON-ATT-01 | Attendee bundles. |
| Exhibitors | 200 pcs | CON-EXH-01 | Exhibitor cartons. |
| Staff | 120 pcs | CON-STF-01 | Staff bundles. |
| Volunteers | 100 pcs | CON-VOL-01 | Volunteer bundles. |
| VIP Guests | 50 pcs | CON-VIP-01 | Separate VIP packing. |
| Media | 30 pcs | CON-MED-01 | Media bundles. |
For each category, specify whether the role is identified by the lanyard artwork, badge artwork, color coding or a combination of these elements.
Should Every Attendee Category Have a Different Lanyard?
Not necessarily. A single event-branded lanyard may work for several attendee groups when the printed badges themselves provide sufficient identification.
Alternatively, the organizer may prefer distinctive staff or VIP lanyards for easier visual recognition.
The correct choice depends on the event’s credential policy, security operations, budget and distribution workflow. Printed color differences alone should not be treated as a secure access-control system.
Calculate Quantities by Design, Not Only by Attendance
When developing the quantity plan, consider issued credentials, expected registration changes, replacements and the event’s own reserve policy.
A simple planning formula is:
Quantity to order for each design = planned issued quantity + approved reserve quantity.
The reserve allowance should be determined by the organizer’s past attendance experience, registration process and replacement policy rather than applying one fixed percentage to every event.
Keep separate quantities for products with different materials, artwork, hardware or packaging because their manufacturing minimums and setup requirements may differ.
3. Choose the Badge First: How to Match Lanyards, Cards and Holders
A common sourcing mistake is designing the lanyard before checking the actual event badge. The badge size, thickness, orientation and hole placement directly affect the most suitable hook or attachment.
For event credential projects, we recommend confirming the badge specifications and lanyard construction together.
Portrait vs. Landscape Convention Badges
Portrait badges are often used for attendee names, event graphics and vertical identification layouts. Landscape badges provide a different layout that may suit large branding areas, company details or multiple information fields.
Neither orientation is universally better. The decision should follow the event’s information hierarchy, badge design and holder availability.
Single-Clip Lanyards
A single swivel hook, J-hook or compatible attachment is suitable for many standard convention cards and badge holders with one central attachment point.
This construction is straightforward and convenient for many attendee identification programs.
Double-Clip Lanyards for Large Convention Badges
A double-clip lanyard uses two attachment points. It can be useful for wide landscape credentials designed with matching holes or slots, helping the badge remain more consistently forward-facing.
However, the two hooks must match the badge’s actual hole spacing and construction. Do not assume a double-clip lanyard will work with every badge holder.
Direct-Punched PVC Badges vs. Clear Badge Holders
There are two common ways to connect a badge to a lanyard:
- Direct-punched PVC badge: The printed card includes one or more suitable attachment holes or slots.
- Badge holder: The printed credential is inserted into a compatible clear or rigid holder that connects to the lanyard.
For a holder-based system, confirm the internal card dimensions, not only the holder’s external size. Also check opening direction, card thickness, attachment slots and whether the badge needs to be removed during registration or access checks.
QR Codes and Barcode Scanning
Some convention credentials include QR codes or barcodes for check-in, identification or session registration.
Before ordering, confirm that the printed code size, placement, contrast and surface finish are suitable for the organizer’s intended scanning equipment and software.
Testing an actual printed credential with the real scanning system is preferable to relying only on a digital proof.
A lanyard or printed QR code does not by itself create an access-control platform. The event operator remains responsible for the registration data, permission rules and scanning system.
Explore our custom PVC event badge and ID card options, badge holders and reels, and complete exhibition badge lanyard solutions.
4. Select the Right Lanyard Width, Material and Printing Method
Convention lanyard design should begin with the actual artwork and the intended use. A detailed anime illustration and a simple STAFF logo may not require the same material, strap width or printing process.
Recommended Lanyard Widths
| Width | Suitable Starting Point | Design Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| 10mm | Lightweight promotional or simple identification lanyards. | Less available space for detailed artwork. |
| 12mm / 15mm | General event badges and simple repeating designs. | Review text readability at the actual print size. |
| 20mm | Full-color convention graphics and sponsor branding. | Offers more visible area for logos and illustrated patterns. |
| 25mm | Detailed illustrated merchandise and prominent event branding. | Review wearing comfort, material cost and finished appearance. |
These are practical selection guidelines rather than mandatory event standards. The finished construction should be reviewed together with the badge, accessories and artwork.
Why Full-Color Polyester Is Often Chosen for Anime & Gaming Artwork
Many convention designs include gradients, illustrated backgrounds, fine linework, multiple sponsor logos and colorful character-inspired themes.
On suitable polyester webbing, dye sublimation or heat transfer printing can reproduce complex full-color designs without requiring separate screen-print setups for each individual artwork color.
The actual print quality depends on the material, transfer paper, print settings, artwork preparation and production control.
When Screen Printing or Jacquard May Be Better
Screen printing can be practical for simpler designs with limited solid colors. Woven or jacquard lanyards may be appropriate for premium event credentials where a woven textile appearance is preferred.
Very fine illustrations, photographic gradients and complex multicolor artwork are generally more suitable for full-color printing than conventional jacquard weaving.
If your event requires recycled polyester, rPET webbing may be considered. Buyers should request material documentation appropriate to any recycled-content claims they plan to make.
For a more detailed technical comparison, see our screen printing vs. dye sublimation vs. woven lanyards guide.
5. Prepare Anime, Gaming and Sponsor Artwork for Actual Production
Artwork preparation is particularly important for convention lanyards because designs are printed on relatively narrow webbing that must later be cut, folded, sewn and fitted with hardware.
Artwork that looks correct in a large digital preview may not appear the same way on the finished product.
Check Logo Size and Fine Details at Actual Width
Reduce the artwork to the intended lanyard width before approval. Inspect the smallest text, sponsor names and important illustration details at realistic scale.
If essential lettering becomes difficult to read, consider increasing its size, simplifying the design or using a wider webbing specification.
Plan Repeating Patterns Around the Finished Lanyard
For repeating event names or sponsor logos, determine the repeat spacing and where the webbing will be cut.
A logo positioned too close to a cutting or sewing area may become partially hidden after assembly. This is especially important for lanyards with detachable buckles, special attachments or different front and reverse artwork.
Confirm Double-Sided Orientation
When both faces must display readable text, provide clear front and reverse artwork instructions.
The manufacturer should review the artwork direction, folding arrangement and actual construction before production. Do not assume that a mirrored design automatically produces two correctly readable faces.
Use an Approval Checklist for Sponsor Artwork
Convention sponsors may require specific logo dimensions, brand colors, minimum clear space and approval procedures. Collect these requirements before releasing the artwork for production.
For a sponsor-branded lanyard, confirm:
- Final approved sponsor and event logos.
- Logo dimensions and repeating sequence.
- Color references and background colors.
- Front/reverse artwork requirements.
- Correct spelling and sponsor hierarchy.
- Written approval from the responsible event or brand representative.
- Final artwork revision number and approval date.
A Real-World Example of Sponsor Approval Requirements
Animé Los Angeles described co-branded convention lanyards as a sponsorship opportunity in its published 2025 sponsorship materials, including organizer approval of brand assets and a specified artwork deadline.
This is a useful illustration of why lanyard manufacturing should be connected to the event’s sponsor approval schedule rather than treated as an isolated print order.
Event policies and sponsorship arrangements differ. Organizers should follow the current requirements of their own convention rather than assuming another event’s rules apply.
Reference: Animé Los Angeles 2025 Sponsorship Marketing Kit.
6. Use a Controlled Artwork and Specification Approval Process
For a convention requiring several lanyard versions, artwork control is just as important as the actual printing process.
A supplier may receive an original file, an updated sponsor logo, a corrected staff version and a revised badge layout at different times. Without a clearly identified approved version, the wrong file may be used in production.
Recommended Three-Document Approval System
Document 1: Credential Matrix. Lists each attendee category, quantity, badge format and packaging group.
Document 2: Product Specification Sheet. Defines the material, lanyard width, finished length, printing method, hardware, badge size and other production details.
Document 3: Final Approved Artwork. Contains the latest accepted artwork for each design, including its reference number and approval status.
For example, the artwork reference CON-STF-01-V3 indicates a staff design and a specific revision. The precise naming format can be adapted to the organizer’s own workflow.
What Should Be Checked Before Mass Production?
- All attendee categories and quantities are correct.
- Each design has a clear final version.
- The event name, sponsor logos and role labels are approved.
- The lanyard width, length and material are specified.
- The front and reverse artwork directions are correct.
- The badge size and attachment are compatible.
- The sample and packaging requirements are confirmed.
- Any remaining changes have been resolved in writing.
For complex projects, a physical sample may be recommended to confirm the actual material, color appearance, printing, folding and accessory assembly before mass production.
7. Inside the Factory: How Convention Lanyards Are Manufactured
For a high-volume convention order, production experience and coordination can influence order consistency and manufacturing cost.
LOVECOLOUR is a Guangzhou-based custom lanyard manufacturer with dedicated lanyard production experience since 2014. Our in-house workflow includes webbing weaving, transfer-paper printing, heat transfer, cutting, sewing, hardware assembly and packaging.
Webbing Weaving and Material Preparation
Our weaving equipment supports polyester, nylon and rPET webbing, as well as suitable specialty constructions. Material selection is coordinated with the required printing method and finished product specifications.
Transfer-Paper Printing and Heat Transfer
For compatible full-color polyester projects, we prepare and print the transfer paper before transferring the artwork onto the webbing using our heat transfer equipment.
Artwork alignment, material behavior, color appearance and print clarity are important considerations during this process.
Cutting, Sewing and Attachment Assembly
Printed or woven webbing is cut and assembled according to the approved finished length and construction. Hooks, buckles, breakaway connectors and other accessories are added as specified.
Inspection and Packing
Finished products are checked against the agreed order requirements, including logo appearance, dimensions, sewing, attachment details and packaging accuracy.
For convention orders involving several roles, final packing must also match the approved category quantities and labeling instructions.
The advantage of an integrated manufacturing workflow is the ability to coordinate these stages directly. However, in-house equipment alone does not guarantee quality; accurate specifications, sample approval and appropriate inspection remain essential.

8. Packaging and Distribution: Prevent Problems at Convention Registration
Packaging is sometimes treated as the final stage of purchasing, but for convention organizers it directly affects how quickly the event team can distribute credentials.
If several attendee types are mixed together, registration staff may need to manually identify and separate thousands of items before the event opens.
Role-Sorted Packing
Where required, lanyards can be packed according to staff, exhibitors, volunteers, VIP guests, media and general attendees.
Each packing group should be clearly identified using an agreed product code, category name, quantity and other necessary carton information.
Pre-Assembled Badge Kits
For suitable projects, an organizer may request sets containing the lanyard, card holder and matching printed badge.
These combinations can reduce some on-site assembly work, but they may increase factory packing time, carton volume and shipping cost. The assembly scope should be reviewed during quotation.
Variable-Data Badges
Some events require individual names, registration numbers, QR codes or other variable information on each credential.
In this case, the buyer should confirm the data format, approved layout, record matching and verification responsibilities before production.
Where personal attendee data is supplied, use an agreed secure transfer method and limit access to what is necessary for the production project.
Retail Merchandise Packing
Anime and gaming merchandise lanyards may require individual bags, branded backing cards, custom header cards, SKU labels or barcode packaging.
Unlike general attendee credentials, merchandise products may need separate packaging for each artwork or product version to support inventory and retail sales.
These two packing programs should not be combined without clear instructions.
9. Plan Your Convention Lanyard Timeline Backward from the Required Arrival Date
For event organizers, the most important delivery milestone is not the factory’s production completion date. It is the date when the products must actually be available for event preparation.
The event opening date may be too late because registration teams, exhibitors or warehouse staff often need time to unpack and distribute the items.
Recommended Planning Sequence
- Set the required in-hand date: Identify when the receiving warehouse, registration contractor or event team must receive the products.
- Confirm credential requirements: Finalize categories, quantities, badge dimensions and accessories.
- Collect sponsor and event artwork: Establish the final design approval deadline.
- Complete specification review and sampling: Allow for artwork adjustments and physical sample delivery where required.
- Approve bulk manufacturing: Confirm the final artwork, product specifications, order quantity and packing plan.
- Arrange inspection and packing: Allow time for quality checks and attendee-role sorting.
- Plan international transportation: Include freight booking, customs clearance, local delivery and a reasonable contingency buffer.
Production schedules depend on the printing method, order volume, materials, accessories and current factory capacity. International transportation must be evaluated separately.
What About Urgent Convention Lanyard Orders?
For urgent events, the manufacturer may be able to review standard materials, available hardware and simpler production arrangements to determine whether a shorter timeline is feasible.
However, a rush order should not proceed without confirming artwork, quantity, badge compatibility and required arrival date.
For a deeper explanation of production estimates, rush orders and international freight, read our custom lanyard lead time and delivery guide.
10. Compare Convention Lanyard Quotes Using the Complete Project Cost
A lanyard unit price is only one component of a convention credential program.
To compare manufacturing proposals accurately, use the same specification and clearly identify which items are included in each quotation.
Items That May Affect Total Cost
- Webbing material, width and finished length.
- Logo printing or weaving method.
- Number of separate designs and required setups.
- Hooks, breakaway connectors, buckles and other hardware.
- Custom PVC badges and badge holders.
- Variable-data printing and matching requirements.
- Individual packing, pre-assembly and role sorting.
- Custom merchandise accessories or tooling.
- Physical samples and any applicable setup charges.
- International shipping, duties, taxes and destination handling according to the agreed trade terms.
A quotation that includes printed badges, packing and shipping cannot be directly compared with a quote for unfinished lanyards alone.
For event-specific purchasing, the total landed cost and operational preparation effort can be more relevant than the lowest quoted strap price.
Our wholesale lanyard buying guide for distributors and resellers provides additional information about sourcing and price comparisons.
11. Original Artwork, Licensed Characters and Convention Merchandise Rules
Anime and gaming merchandise often includes illustrations, characters, logos, game artwork and other creative assets. Buyers should not assume that possessing an image file automatically grants the right to reproduce and sell it.
Before commissioning bulk merchandise, confirm that the submitted artwork is original or that the necessary commercial reproduction rights have been obtained.
Official Convention Credentials vs. Independent Merchandise
Official event credentials generally require the event organizer’s approval. Independently produced merchandise may also be subject to the venue’s exhibitor rules, intellectual property policies and the rights of the relevant artists or copyright holders.
For example, Anime Expo publishes specific Artist Alley rules covering original artwork, infringement, bootleg goods and mass-produced merchandise. These rules apply to that event and should not be interpreted as universal policies for all conventions.
Reference: Anime Expo Artist Alley Guidelines.
What Should Buyers Confirm?
- Who owns the artwork and commercial reproduction rights?
- Does the license cover the intended product category and sales territory?
- Are official event, sponsor or publisher logos approved for production?
- Are there restrictions on quantity, distribution or product packaging?
- Does the specific convention permit the intended merchandise in the selected sales area?
LOVECOLOUR supports original designs and properly authorized licensed artwork for custom production. We do not claim official affiliation with a convention, entertainment franchise or game publisher unless such a relationship has been separately authorized.
12. Convention Lanyard Quality Control: A Final Inspection Matrix
For events with fixed deadlines, finding a problem after delivery may leave limited time for correction.
Inspection requirements should therefore be agreed before production, particularly where several designs and badge categories are involved.
| Inspection Point | What to Verify | Possible Consequence if Missed |
|---|---|---|
| Artwork version | Approved design, sponsor logos, role labels and spelling. | Wrong branding or incorrect attendee category. |
| Printed webbing | Logo clarity, material appearance, orientation and print placement. | Poor readability or inconsistent finished product. |
| Finished size | Specified width, length and assembly construction. | Inconsistent appearance or unsuitable wearing length. |
| Attachment | Correct hook model, clip spacing and assembly. | Badge incompatibility or unsuitable operation. |
| Badge and holder | Card fit, hole positions, orientation and visibility. | Credential cannot be attached or displayed correctly. |
| Barcode or QR code | Readable test output and system compatibility. | Check-in or scanning problems. |
| Packaging | Role, SKU, quantity, carton labels and set contents. | Sorting delays or distribution errors. |
| Shipping documents | Agreed packing and delivery information. | Receiving or transportation complications. |
If the convention has specific breakaway, mechanical strength or other performance requirements, define the relevant test method and acceptance criteria before production. A generic statement that a lanyard is “safe” or “durable” is not a substitute for an agreed specification.
13. Common Mistakes When Ordering Anime and Gaming Convention Lanyards
Mistake 1: Ordering One Design Without Confirming Attendee Categories
Some conventions need separate staff, exhibitor or VIP identifiers. Determine whether the distinction belongs on the badge, lanyard or both before finalizing artwork.
Mistake 2: Selecting Hardware Without Checking the Badge
Confirm card thickness, hole placement, orientation and holder dimensions before selecting a single hook, double hook or other attachment.
Mistake 3: Placing Important Artwork Near Sewing Areas
Check the final cutting and folding construction so essential event names, sponsor logos and illustration details remain visible.
Mistake 4: Accepting Sponsor Changes Without Controlling Artwork Versions
Use a clearly identified final approved file and communicate any revisions before production begins.
Mistake 5: Forgetting Role-Sorted Packaging
Decide whether products need to be separated by attendee category before confirming the manufacturing quotation and packing arrangement.
Mistake 6: Using the Event Date as the Delivery Deadline
Allow time for receiving, registration preparation, badge assembly and local event logistics.
Mistake 7: Manufacturing Character Merchandise Without Checking Rights
Confirm commercial artwork permissions and the relevant convention’s sales rules before placing a merchandise order.
14. Convention Lanyard RFQ Template: What to Send Your Manufacturer
To make quoting faster and reduce back-and-forth communication, prepare an RFQ containing the following information.

- Event dates and required delivery date.
- Delivery country, city and postal code.
Lanyard Specifications
- Quantity for each artwork design and attendee category.
- Material and preferred webbing width.
- Finished lanyard length and construction.
- Printing or weaving method, if already selected.
- Front and reverse artwork files.
- Hook, buckle, breakaway or other accessory requirements.
Badge & Holder Specifications
- Badge material, dimensions and thickness.
- Portrait or landscape orientation.
- Attachment hole quantity and positions.
- Printed names, QR codes, barcodes or variable information where required.
- Clear holder or direct-punched card preference.
Packing & Delivery
- Bulk packing, role-sorted bundles or individual sets.
- Pre-assembly requirements.
- Carton labeling and product codes.
- Any merchandise backing cards or individual retail packaging.
- Preferred shipping method and applicable trade terms.
Example inquiry: “We are organizing a gaming convention and need multiple custom lanyard designs for attendees, staff and VIP guests. We also need compatible PVC badges and role-sorted packing. Please review the attached artwork, quantity breakdown, badge sizes and delivery requirements, and recommend a suitable production configuration with a quotation and timeline.”
If you have not selected the printing method or hardware, send reference images and ask for a manufacturing recommendation instead of guessing the specification.
15. Frequently Asked Questions About Convention Lanyard Planning
How far in advance should I order custom convention lanyards?
Start planning early enough to cover artwork approval, possible sampling, production, inspection, shipping and local event preparation. The exact schedule depends on order quantity, printing method, accessories and destination. Confirm a project-specific timeline rather than relying on a universal lead time.
Can I order multiple designs in one convention lanyard project?
Yes. Different staff, attendee, exhibitor, VIP or sponsor designs can be reviewed together. However, each version may have its own artwork setup, material requirements, MOQ and packaging instructions.
What width works best for detailed anime artwork?
For many detailed full-color designs, 20mm or 25mm polyester webbing provides more visible artwork space than a narrow 10mm strap. The best width still depends on the design, attachment and intended use, and should be evaluated at actual print size.
Can convention lanyards and PVC badges be ordered together?
Yes. LOVECOLOUR can coordinate custom printed lanyards, PVC event cards and compatible badge holders. The card dimensions, hole positions, orientation and attachment must be confirmed together.
Do I need a double-clip lanyard for a large badge?
Not always. Double-clip constructions can be useful for wider badges designed with two compatible attachment points. A single-clip construction may be suitable for other badge formats. Review the actual badge structure before choosing.
Can you print different sponsor logos on the same lanyard?
Yes. Full-color heat transfer printing can accommodate multiple approved logos and repeating sponsor graphics on compatible polyester webbing. Final positioning and readability should be checked at actual scale.
Can lanyards be packed separately by attendee role?
Yes. Role-based packing can be coordinated according to the confirmed order requirements. Provide clear category names, quantity breakdowns and labeling instructions before packing begins.
Can we manufacture merchandise using anime or gaming characters?
We can manufacture original artwork and properly authorized licensed designs. Buyers should confirm the commercial rights for submitted characters, logos and artwork, along with any applicable event merchandise rules.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom convention lanyards?
Many standard custom printed lanyards can start from 100 pieces at LOVECOLOUR. Woven designs, specialty accessories and more complex constructions may require higher minimum quantities. The exact MOQ is confirmed for each design and specification.
16. Final Convention Lanyard Planning Checklist
Before releasing your order for manufacturing, make sure the event team and supplier have confirmed:
- All attendee categories and required quantities.
- Each approved artwork design and revision.
- Material, width, finished length and printing method.
- Badge dimensions and attachment compatibility.
