Badge Types

When you are deciding on the type of badges you want there is plenty of choice. You can have as many badge types as you wish such as delegate, visitor, exhibitor, speaker, VIP and staff. In fact, any badge type you need. You can also use colour flashes or text to differentiate between badge types.

The software that you will use online and onsite has been written by us in house, by our own developers using vast years of experience within the badging and registration industry.

It copes with long names as well as foreign and accented characters and also offers the ability to print colour in one pass onsite, taking away the need to pre-order a set quantity of badge stock.
