Next-Day Event Badges & Lanyards
From £21.04 +VAT
for 25 x 85x55 on 300gsm Silk
The same product price as any other day; next-day delivery is from £9.95 +VAT, priced at checkout for your address. Free standard UK mainland delivery over £50.
Delegate lists close late and registration opens early, which is why badges are so often ordered the day before the doors open. Order and approve your artwork by 2.30pm Mon–Fri and your badge and lanyard set is printed the same afternoon and handed to a courier for delivery the next working day, anywhere on the UK mainland. The dates at the top of this page are worked out on your clock, so the arrival day you see already allows for weekends and bank holidays.
Badges print full colour on 250gsm or 300gsm card, silk or uncoated, single or double sided, at 85 × 55 mm, 90 × 55 mm or 90 × 60 mm, with custom sizes if your holders need them. Choose from 25 to 500 sets, or ask for a custom quantity. Upload a print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed or design the badge online, pay, and the delivery speed is priced at checkout for your address; the badges themselves cost the same as any other day.

How next-day event badges & lanyards work
Order and approve by 2.30pm
Choose your options, upload your artwork or finish a design online, and pay by 2.30pm Mon–Fri. Choose next-day delivery at checkout, then approve your free proof by the same time, because we print once you approve.
Printed the same day
Your badges are printed in full colour in our London print room the same afternoon, trimmed to size and packed ready for the registration desk, with any lanyards, wallets or batch-artwork names added exactly as you chose them in the configurator.
Delivered the next working day
A tracked courier delivers the next working day anywhere on the UK mainland. Next-day delivery skips weekends and bank holidays, and the dates above already account for that. Saturday Delivery is offered at checkout, to UK mainland addresses, when your order can leave us on a Friday: order between 2.30pm on Thursday and 2.30pm on Friday, and approve your artwork by 2.30pm on Friday.

The next-day rule
Next-day delivery needs your order in, and your artwork approved, by 2.30pm Mon–Fri for delivery the next working day. Production is scheduled from your approval, not from the time you order, so orders placed or artwork approved after that, or at weekends and bank holidays, are dispatched on the next working day and arrive the working day after. Every order gets a free print preview within the hour; changes to the artwork itself are a priced service per file, back within the hour too.
Missed the 2.30pm cutoff? In London, choose the Priority courier at checkout: printed first thing on the next working day and delivered by tracked courier that day (tomorrow when you order Monday to Thursday), priced like same-day.
What counts
- Working days are Monday to Friday, excluding England and Wales bank holidays; the print room is in London.
- Next-day delivery covers the UK mainland; Highlands, Islands and Northern Ireland rates and timings are shown at checkout.
- Order and approve your artwork by the cut-off, whether it is a print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed or a finished online design: we book production from your approval, not your payment.
- Not in a hurry? Standard delivery is free to UK mainland addresses on orders over £50 and takes 3-5 working days.
Next-day event badges & lanyards FAQs
Can I get a different name on every badge for next-day delivery?
The online designer prints one design across the set, so it is not the place to change a name on every badge. For individual names, choose the Individual Names (Batch Artwork) option in the configurator and supply either one badge per page in your PDF at the finished size with 3 mm bleed, or a name list for us to typeset. Either way, order and approve the complete file by 2.30pm Mon–Fri: we book production from your approval.
Which badge sizes and card stocks are available next day?
The three standard sizes, 85 × 55 mm, 90 × 55 mm and 90 × 60 mm, all suit common lanyard clips and holders, and custom sizes are available if your event holders need something else. Card is 250gsm or 300gsm in a silk or uncoated finish. Uncoated takes a pen if you expect to write in late names at the desk; silk gives logos and colour panels a cleaner look.
Do badges come with lanyards for next-day delivery, or do I need to add them?
Lanyards are an option, not a default: the configurator asks, and you choose No lanyard, a Single Clip Lanyard or a Double Clip Lanyard. Every badge comes in a clear plastic wallet unless you choose metal eyelets instead (wallets take badges up to 90 × 60 mm). Lanyards are available in black, white or navy, and lanyards and wallets arrive loose unless you add assembly. Choose what you need before checkout and the whole order, badges and any lanyards or wallets, is printed, packed and sent on the same next-working-day timeline.
My event is on a Monday. When do I need to order?
Order and approve your artwork by 2.30pm on the Friday, when Friday is a working day. The badges are printed that afternoon and delivered on Monday, the next working day. Ordering over the weekend means printing on Monday and delivery on Tuesday, which is too late for a Monday registration desk. If the Monday is a bank holiday, the next working day moves to Tuesday; the dates shown on this page already account for that.
The delegate list changed after I ordered. Can I add badges?
Place a second, smaller order for the additions; the 25 quantity tier keeps a top-up order affordable. If it is ordered and approved by 2.30pm Mon–Fri it follows the same next-working-day timeline as the first batch. For names that arrive on the morning itself, most organisers order a handful of blank badges in the first run and write them in at the desk.
The venue is in London and the cut-off has passed. Any options?
Choose the Priority courier at checkout. It gives your badge set priority production first thing the next working day, and a courier delivers to the venue or your office that same day, priced at checkout the same way as the separate same-day courier option. The Priority courier is only available for London addresses.
Can I use artwork I made with ChatGPT, Canva or another AI tool?
Yes. Every file is checked before it prints, whatever made it. AI images are often made at screen size, so on a larger print they can come out soft: if yours would, we show you which image and you choose to print it as it is, upload a sharper file, or send us the high-resolution images and our studio updates the artwork for you. You can run the same check before you order with our free file check.
What does next-day delivery cost for event badges & lanyards?
Next-day delivery is from £9.95 +VAT to UK mainland addresses. The exact charge for your address is shown at checkout, and the product price is the same as any other day.
