What goes on a name badge

• An event header across the top, often reverse-printed so it stands out.
• The attendee's name, the largest element, centered.
• Company and role, smaller, below the name.
• A QR code (^BQ) for check-in or to share a contact.
• Size: 4 × 3 in is a common badge size; adjust to your badge holder.
