About Diobox Badge Printing

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Diobox provides a complete badge creation and printing system for events of any size. You can design fully branded badges, personalize them with guest data, include images and QR codes, and print them on site through the Diobox iOS app. Whether you need automated printing at check-in, reprints, or bulk pre-printing, Diobox supports every workflow.

Events created before the release of the new Badge Builder may still use the Legacy iOS Badge Builder, which will be discontinued on December 31, 2025.


Support for Multiple Templates per Event

Each event can include multiple badge templates, allowing you to create separate designs for staff, VIPs, exhibitors, and other guest categories. Diobox also includes dozens of pre-made templates, giving you ready-to-use starting points so you can build polished badges quickly without designing from scratch.


Designing Badges Using the Badge Builder

The Diobox Badge Builder offers a flexible visual canvas where you can arrange text, dynamic fields, images, shapes, and QR codes to create any badge layout you need.


Multi-Purpose QR Codes

Every Diobox badge can include a dynamic QR code that supports multiple event workflows. You can choose from three types:

  • Guest Check-In: Scannable only by the Diobox app to check guests in or track sessions.

  • Lead Retrieval: Scanned by exhibitors using the Diobox Lead Retrieval app to capture guest information.

  • vCard Exchange: Scannable by any smartphone camera to instantly share basic contact details between guests.


Printing Images and Logos

You can upload high-quality logos and images, adjust cropping and scaling, and optimize artwork for thermal printers that support black-only or black-and-red printing.


Support for Event-Ready Printers

Diobox works with select high-performance printers designed for fast on-site badge production.


Mobile On-Site Printing

The Diobox iOS app provides flexible printing options during your event:

  • Auto-Printing: Automatically prints a badge whenever a guest checks in, whether scanned or checked in manually.
    ​

  • On-Demand Printing: Allows staff to print or reprint a badge for any individual guest directly from their profile.
    ​

  • Pre-Printing: Enables printing badges in bulk before the event so staff can prepare registration materials in advance.


Desktop Printing and Exporting Badges (Coming Soon)

A new export option will soon allow you to generate PDFs of all badges directly from the web app, making it easy to print badges using standard desktop printers or send them to external print vendors.
