Here are answers to the most common questions we get from race directors about custom race bib printing:
Can each bib have a unique number or participant name?
Yes! We specialize in variable data printing, which means each bib in your order can feature:
-
A unique race number
-
Participant name
-
Age or age group
-
Gender or wave
-
Custom fields from your spreadsheet
Just upload your list or spreadsheet during checkout — we’ll match each field to your bib design and double-check everything before printing.
Pro Tip: Want the name to print in a specific spot or color? Let us know in your order notes and we’ll make it happen.
Can I get bibs without numbers?
Absolutely. If you're running an event where bibs are used for identification, photo ops, or sponsor visibility — but not for timing or placement — you may want no bib numbers at all.
When ordering, simply:
-
In the Bib Series field, type “no numbers”
-
Or include “no numbers” in the Design Directions field in the cart
We’ll take care of the rest — no numbering, no problem.
What if I need a bib series that skips numbers or includes multiple ranges?
This happens often, and we’re used to handling unique numbering needs. If your race bibs skip numbers (say, from 1–75, then 101–200, then 351–400), you have two options:
-
List your number ranges in the “Design Directions” box during checkout
-
Upload a spreadsheet with one row per bib number you'd like printed
In the Bib Series field, just leave it blank or type “various.” We'll use the info from your file or notes to print exactly what you need.
Can I include sponsor logos, QR codes, or barcodes?
Definitely. Your race bib is valuable real estate, and we offer full-color bib printing so you can showcase:
-
Sponsor logos (big or small)
-
QR codes (linking to race results, waivers, etc.)
-
Barcodes or bib tags
-
Event branding and hashtags
We also provide easy-to-use layout templates to help you place everything correctly — or you can send us your logo files and let our team place them for you.
