Need Event Badge Supplier - Photo, Name, Barcode...

[nfable]

Looking for suggestions into a printer that can supply 1,000 - 2,000 event ID's to be worn on lanyards with same layout / artwork but each with unique attendant's name, pic and barcode (barcode supplied).

I can find some suppliers with a general static ID, but none personalized as my client needs.

Appreciate any advice, suggestions.

thx,
nf

I googled "Event badges + variable data" and came up with a bunch of hits.

Yes, thank you: I was asking more for first-hand experienced advice from someone in the graphics field, like 'Hey, Bob - who's a trustworthy and affordable mechanic you've used before?'.

However, I was searching for a term you provided 'variable data' thanks for that.

Thanks guin! It would be nice if I could parlay the client's printing fees just into purchasing a setup that I could add to my studio.

Based on client's past festivals, though the standard size of the id's were not a standard ID size, more along the lines of 4" x 5.5" or something like that.
