Attendees scan their QR code or search their name, confirm their details and the badge prints instantly. Badges include custom branding, QR codes and registration attributes. No staff are needed at the kiosk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who this is for:<\/strong> Organisers running in-person or hybrid events<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Time to complete:<\/strong> Under 30 seconds per attendee at the kiosk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The badge printing kiosk process eliminates the traditional check-in queue entirely. When an attendee arrives at your event:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>They approach the kiosk and scan their QR code (from their confirmation email or the Canapii mobile app) or search their name.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Their registration details are verified automatically.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>A fully personalised badge prints in seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>They collect their badge and walk directly into the event.<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Badge customisation:<\/strong> Badges are fully customisable with your event branding, logo, attendee name, company, job title, attendee type and QR code. Custom registration attributes can also be printed on the badge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lead retrieval:<\/strong> QR codes on badges enable instant contactless lead capture by sponsor and exhibitor staff throughout the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I set up badge design for a Canapii event?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Badge design is configured from the Badges section under Onsite in the Event Console. Upload your template, configure the fields to display and preview the badge before the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many badge printing kiosks do I need for my event?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of kiosks depends on your expected attendance and arrival pattern. Canapii&#8217;s team can advise on the right number for your event size. Contact info@canapii.com to discuss your requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Canapii print badges on site or are they pre-printed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canapii kiosks print badges on demand at the event.
