FAQs on onsite badge printing

First item hidden as it is open by default

Onsite badge printing is printing attendee badges at the venue during registration. Staff scan a QR code or search a name, confirm details, and print the badge immediately.

Attendee data is imported or synced, badge templates are set up, and printers are configured. At the desk, staff scan/search the attendee record, check them in, and print a badge on demand.

Badges can be produced in seconds per attendee when QR codes and templates are prepared, significantly reducing queues at peak arrival times. Exact speed depends on staffing and station count.
