We've added some new advanced designs with Christmas theme so you can now make your own printable Christmas Dinner Place Name Cards and printable Christmas Party Nametags using Big.first.name.
Using a custom template you can create your own design for badges or cards.

Big.first.name Name Badges were used at the recent Mr Mobbles Magical Emporium event.
Flickr has more photos and name badges from the event.
A new addition to Big.first.name - Name Place Cards (aka: Place Name Cards, Place Cards, Name Cards, wedding place cards, Tent Cards).
Standard tent card sizes have been added to our system to take the pain out of configuring templates correctly.
Our designs automatically rotate guest names upside-down for easy printing on two-sided folding tent cards.
Place Name Cards can be printed out on your printer just like our Name Badges are. In fact you could use the same event list to print out both Name Badges and Place Name Cards!
For further information see the official press release, New Web Application Benefits Events Organisers Working On Tight Budges.
Big.first.name has just added 12 new nametag template designs to our collection!

My new website project staff rota management using Rotaville is now live!
Rotaville inherits much of the technology that is used to power Big.first.name Name Badge Software.
Rotaville is a new online webapp for managing workplace rotas/rosters/staff schedules. Staff and Shifts can be easily scheduled by managers with an intuitive drag 'n' drop real-time web user interface.
Many business still rely on pen and paper or they are using an excel spreedsheet that is typically only available on the managers PC. Rotaville puts the schedule online so that it's available for all staff members to access from any computer. An iPhone or Android mobile version of the website is also available so that staff can check their shift times anytime anywhere.
Rotaville generates weekly schedules in a calendar format style that can be printed or emailed in PDF format.
Other features include reminder notifications, multiple manager support, staff list printing, and workplace discussion forums.

Christine Peterson from The Foresight Institute writes about using Big.first.name nametag software for the recent Foresight 2010 Conference:
Thanks for a great service
Hi Jason -- This past weekend our nonprofit organization held a conference using one of the online conference registration services.
When we went to print the badges the day before the meeting started, we found that their service's badge-printing function simply did not work.
Panic!
I went online and found big.first.name, and in a short time we had lovely badges printed!
Thanks, big.first.name. You rock.

XING event guest lists can be exported as xml and then imported in to big.first.name to create name badges.
The import will automatically include the XING profile picture of each guest in to the big.first.name avatar field. So that your name badges generated will include the familiar profile picture from the XING website.
Adding personal avatars to name badges is now possible with Big.first.name. It's a work-in-progress and twitter support is now available. Meetup and Upcoming avatars will be added in the next release.
Currently available in the free "basic layout" this video gives a demo of the personal twitter avatar name badges...
Ryan Pamplin, assistant organizer of the Meetup202: NYC Affiliate Marketing Meetup Group, used Big.first.name to make some name badges for their recent First NYC Meetup.
Ryan reports about the name badges he made:
People were impressed by them. Your web app saved me a lot of time and hassle. (I was going to use mail-merge in Word). The badges printed properly (lined up) on the first try, which was a pleasant surprise. Thank you.
Here is a photo from the event:

When printing out your nametags and name badges it sometimes can be hard to align the printer correctly. Printing on plain paper first can help your with this.
It's important to check that the print settings on your computer isn't scaling the print job up or down in size. Check that Page Scaling is set to "None" (and not say "Shrink to Printable Area").
