Create Magenta Employee ID Card with Logo Block

Simple badges for small teams

Small businesses often need ID badges for a few employees, interns or seasonal staff, but ordering a printed run is slow and expensive. This template lets you produce a neat badge in minutes. The magenta shapes, big name line and crisp ID bar are easy to read at arm’s length, which is useful at a front desk or on a shop floor.

Details to enter

• Full name and position
• ID number, issue date and expiry date
• Photo and company logo
• Address, email, phone and website for the back
• Terms and conditions text, such as “If found, please return to the address on the reverse”

Photo guidance

Use a head-and-shoulders picture against a plain background, with the face filling about half the frame. A square crop prints best. Make sure you have the employee’s agreement to use the picture on the card.

A reminder

The badge identifies a person to a business only. It should be issued by the company named on it and must not be used to impersonate someone or to gain access to places you are not entitled to enter.

Silhouette and photo

If you do not upload a photo, a neutral silhouette fills the frame, handy for a card you will glue a photo onto later. Employee Name and ID Number are the key fields; position, issue and expiry dates are in the form too. The graphic on the back is decorative and is not a working code.

Guarding the honesty of the card

A card should show only what the business is willing to stand behind. Avoid job titles that do not exist, and do not make cards for people who do not work with you. Use it for real colleagues, volunteers and event staff, and mark temporary badges with an expiry date.

Printing a team set

Collect photos in a similar style, such as head and shoulders against a plain wall, before generating the cards, so the set looks even. Print them all on the same batch of card stock, cut with a guillotine for clean edges and punch the lanyard hole in the same place on each.
