Name badges are a fifteen-minute design job followed by three hours of copy-paste. This workflow keeps the design job and deletes the rest. Your registration list in Google Sheets becomes a folder of print-ready badge PDFs, each one personalized and identical in layout.
From row to badge
Each row in your sheet renders one badge. Click a row to see how tiers and roles carry over:
| AName | BCompany | CRole | DTier | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Priya Sharma | Fathom Analytics | Speaker | VIP |
| 2 | Daniel Okoye | Freelance | Attendee | GA |
| 3 | Alexandra Papadopoulos | Nimbus Labs | Sponsor | VIP |
Rendered from row 1, one per row
A tier or role column can switch badge colors or add a Speaker tag, so VIPs and staff stand out at a glance without a second design. Badges render at the template's exact dimensions, so they print at true size with no stretched logos and no substituted fonts.
Who prints them this way
Set it up once
Design the badge at your exact print size, connect the sheet, and point each placeholder at a column. After that, one run turns the whole list into a Drive folder of PDFs. Switch the trigger to watch for new rows and every late signup gets its badge within minutes, ready to print at the desk. The workflow that made 400 badges on Monday quietly makes 3 more on Friday.
