Key Features

Everything you need to power badge printing at your next event.

1

On-Demand Printing

Badges print automatically at check-in or on demand from any connected printer station.

2

Visual Drag-and-Drop Designer

Design badges with a WYSIWYG canvas editor. Drag dynamic fields, images, shapes, and text into place with real-time preview.

3

Dynamic Data Fields

Bind attendee names, QR codes, profile photos, company names, and custom registration answers directly onto badge layouts.

4

Per-Group Badge Designs

Create distinct badge layouts for VIPs, speakers, general attendees, and staff. Each attendee group gets its own design.

5

Zebra Cloud Printing

Print badges through Zebra cloud-connected printers with no local drivers required. Badges convert from PDF to ZPL automatically.

6

30+ Built-In Fonts

Choose from over 30 bundled fonts including Arial, Poppins, Inter, Bebas Neue, Gotham, and custom client-branded typefaces.

7

Grid & Snap Alignment

Use a 1-inch grid overlay with snap-to-grid alignment to position badge elements with precision.

8

Apply to All Groups

Replicate a badge design across every attendee group in one click, then customize individual groups as needed.

How It Works

Get started in minutes, not days.

1

Open the Badge Designer

Navigate to the Badge Designer for your event. Select an attendee group to begin designing its badge layout.

2

Set Canvas Dimensions

Configure badge width and height in inches, choose landscape or portrait orientation, and set a background color or image.

3

Add Dynamic Elements

Drag attendee fields, event details, QR codes, custom text, shapes, and images onto the canvas from the sidebar palette.

4

Style and Align

Fine-tune fonts, colors, sizes, and positions. Use grid overlay and snap-to-grid for pixel-perfect alignment.

5

Save and Apply

Save the design for the selected group, or apply it to all attendee groups at once. The CDN cache updates automatically.

6

Print at Check-In

When attendees check in, their badge is rendered with live data and sent to a Zebra cloud printer for instant physical printing.

Speed Meets Quality

Our badge printing system produces full-color, professional badges in under 10 seconds. With support for thermal and inkjet printers, you can choose the right balance of speed and quality for your event.

A Designer Built for Events

The badge designer is purpose-built for event organizers. Add attendee details, event metadata, QR codes, and custom images to a canvas with configurable dimensions, background colors, and background images. Every element supports drag, resize, rotate, and fine-tuned typography controls.

Data-Driven Badges

Badge elements bind to live attendee and event data at print time. First name, last name, company, group, profile photo, QR code, and custom registration answers all populate automatically, so every badge is unique without manual editing.

Cloud Printing, Zero Drivers

CrowdPass converts rendered badge PDFs to Zebra Programming Language (ZPL) on the server and dispatches print jobs directly to Zebra cloud-connected printers. No local driver installation, no desktop software, just plug in and print.
