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, print them on site through the Diobox iOS app, or export badges as PDFs for desktop printing. Whether you need automated printing at check-in, reprints, bulk pre-printing, or custom PDF exports, Diobox supports every workflow.
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.

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.

Desktop and PDF Printing, Including Avery Templates
Desktop and PDF badge printing in Diobox takes place in the web app, making it a flexible alternative to on-site printing through the Diobox iOS app. You can design badges in any size and generate high-resolution PDFs with full-color designs, without being limited by specific on-site printer requirements. This gives you full control over branding, layout, and print quality, whether you are printing in-house or working with an external vendor.
For printing multiple badges per page, Avery Sheet Templates and Custom Sheet Templates provide efficient bulk options. Avery templates offer a standardized, ready-to-use format with widely available materials, while custom templates allow you to match your own sheet layouts and dimensions. Both approaches help streamline large print runs using standard desktop printers.
For maximum flexibility, you can also generate individual custom name tags as separate PDF files. Each badge is personalized and ready for direct printing, making this option ideal for specialized materials, external production, or workflows that require one-by-one handling.
