Create an online badge

You can create up to 10 badge designs per congress. Please note that you can only print badges for online congresses.

From simple and straightforward badges, to complex and highly detailed designs, whatever you need, we've got you covered. Use features such as layering and print-when conditions to create unique designs for each of your participants, based on their category, company, booked events, and so much more! 
Our badge designer provides you with all the tools you need to create so many beautiful badge designs, all from a single template.
Please go to the 'Badges' option in the blue menu and click the 'Add badge' button to add a new badge.

In the new screen enter your badge name and choose the badge type. 
In the lower part of the screen an example of the selected badge is shown with a description.

The following badges are available:

Please note that all Butterfly and Expo badges have a front and back side of the badge.
By default, the paper badges only have a front. By using the second option of these badges, you can use the left and right badge on the paper for one participant. In that way you also have a front and back side.

• Add various objects to your badge: 

Shape - allows you to create lines, rectangles, triangles and circles. Image - allows you to upload your own custom images. Text - allows you to add your own custom texts. Placeholder - allows you to add dynamic content to the badge, such as the participant family name, QR codes, booked events or the name of the congress.

• Use the many toolbar options to style each object, such as foreground and background colours and various options for text formatting, text wrapping and scaling.
  
   

• Enable the grid or the alignment assist options to neatly organize and align your objects.

• Group items into various layers to easily show, hide and order them.
  For example if you want to print the same info on the front and back of a badge for an accompanying person. Instead of the name info on one side and the events on the other, as is the case with a participant.
  You can add the info (placeholders, images etc.) in layer 2. Now it is easy to hide/show a layer to design that part of the badge.

  When using layers, standard all layers are shown. By hiding a layer, it is easy to design the part that should be shown for a certain group of participants, a category or accompanying persons.

  Hide layer 2.  In this example layer 2 contains the placeholders which should be printed for the accompanying person.

  Hide layer 1. In this example layer 1 contains the placeholders which should be printed for the participants.

• Right-click any selected objects to match or align them to another object.
  
   
• Configure print-when conditions to determine when an object should or should not be displayed on the badge.
  For example, you can create conditions based on:
  - Whether the person is a participant or an accompanying person.
  - The category, registration type and registration events of the participant.
  - The value of any field from your registration website.
