Pre-printed badges work when your attendee list is final. On-demand badge printing works when real events happen: late registrations, ticket transfers, walk-ins, name changes, and no-shows.
Badgy connects check-in and badge printing to live ticketing provider data, so staff can check guests in, print branded badges, and keep status synced in real time without expensive kiosk hardware.
Best when attendee data is final before the event and changes are rare.
Best when your ticketing data is live and your check-in desk needs to handle changes calmly.
Connect providers like Tito, Luma, Eventbrite, and Ticket Tailor so badge printing starts from live attendee data.
Multiple check-in devices stay synced, so staff can scan tickets, search attendees, and print badges from the same source of truth.
Use a browser, a laptop, and a supported label printer. No expensive kiosk system or specialist badge printing hardware is required.
Pre-printing can be the right choice for small events with a stable attendee list, no walk-ins, and no need to sync check-in status back to your ticketing provider.
Badgy is a better fit when your team needs live ticketing provider data, fast on-site changes, real-time check-in, sponsor lead capture, or branded badges without printing everything in advance.
On-demand badge printing is usually better when your attendee list changes close to the event, when you need walk-in registration, or when you want check-in and badge printing to use live ticketing provider data. Pre-printing can still work for small events with a final attendee list.
No. Badgy runs in the browser. A typical setup uses a laptop connected to a supported label printer, while check-in staff use phones, tablets, or laptops they already have.
Yes. Badgy connects to ticketing providers including Tito, Luma, Eventbrite, and Ticket Tailor so attendee data, check-in, and badge printing stay connected.
Connect your ticketing provider, set up a print station, and keep check-in moving without pre-printing every badge.
