Printing attendee and speaker badges

Introduction

Grenadine lets you print badges for your attendees, speakers, and anyone else who needs one at your event. Grenadine supports a variety of badge formats from different manufacturers. The most common badge size is an Avery 5392 Nametag Insert Refill which measures 3” x 4”.

Printing a badge within Grenadine Event Management Software does not require any special kind of printer. Our system generates a PDF which you can easily send to any printer.

Decide What Gets Printed On The Badge

You can include the following elements on your badges:

• The event name
• The event logo
• Cut marks (thin lines that help you determine where the label boundaries are)
• The attendee or person’s name (this information is the only mandatory information on the badge)
• The person’s organization or company
• The person’s title
• The country where the person is from
• A professional photo of the person
• The ticket type(s) for the person
• The category(ies) for the person (i.e. the categories that you have set on this person’s profile)
• The person’s registration number
• A scannable QR code (can be scanned by the event organizer using the check-in app, or by another attendee using the attendee mobile app)

To choose what will be on your badges, as well as the default label size, go to the Grenadine Event Manager > Your Event > Registration > Configure Badges.

Here’s an example of what a badge may look like:

Printing the badges

You can print badges in one of two ways:

1. Reports > People > Badges

   . This prints out all the badges at once, or for a selection of attendees, with the settings that you have chosen from the previous step.

2. To print the back side of a badge: Reports > Other > Back of Badge Label. This is useful when you are printing speaker badges because their schedules are printed on the back labels.

3. In the People section, choose a number of people from the list and click on the Print badges button at the top of the table.
