Make your event exceptional with attendee badges

Announcement, How-to, Updates / November 14, 2018 / By Lidia S (FooEvents)

UPDATE: The new FooEvents Stationery Builder has replaced the attendee badge functionality and you can now design and print custom name tags, wristbands, tickets, badges and personalized labels through an intuitive drag & drop interface.

Would you like name tags, badges or personalized labels for the attendees at your event? We thought so! This is now a standard feature in FooEvents for WooCommerce which allows you to download a PDF file that contains name badges for all your attendees in a print-friendly format!

You can customize this file by choosing up to three fields that you would like to appear on the badges such as attendee names, ticket bar codes, email addresses and attendee custom fields. You can choose from predefined sizes that can be used with common Avery labels and Microsoft sticker label sizes. You also have the option of enabling the handy print cut line setting so that you can print the badges on standard paper/cardboard and cut them out with scissors or a guillotine instead.

Examples of scenarios where you might need attendee name badges:

Badges — Name Stickers Can Be An Ice-Breaker That Allows Attendees To Connect With Each Other At Your Event.

Scan — Badges With Bar Codes Can Easily Be Scanned To Check-In Attendees More Quickly At Your Event.

Meals — Create Labels For Special Meals Or Goodie Bags With Attendee Names, Meal Choice And Allergies.
