What is Badge Printing?

Definition

The on-site printing of name badges or credentials for event attendees during check-in. Badges typically include the attendee's name, organization, ticket type, and sometimes a QR code for session access or networking.

Why it matters

Professional badges improve networking, provide visual identification of attendee types (VIP, speaker, sponsor), and enhance event professionalism. Badge printing is essential for conferences, trade shows, and networking events.
