Before you start
- A template open in the editor.
- For text elements bound to attendee fields: an event that has at least one imported attendee, so you can preview the binding with Preview as.
Add an element
Add the element
In the left sidebar, click T (Text), Image, QR, or Rect. The element drops at the canvas center at a default size.
Text
Text elements display a string. The string can be Custom (literal text) or Attendee (a bound field that resolves per attendee at print time). Position.X, Y, W, H in millimeters. Editing H divides by Max lines to keep the font size legible.
Content. Pick a Data type:
- Custom. Fixed text you type in the Text input. Use for static labels like an event title or sponsor name.
-
Attendee. Bind to one of these fields, which resolve per attendee at print time:
Field What it contains Full name Attendee’s combined first + last name First name Attendee’s first name Last name Attendee’s last name Company Attendee’s company Job title Attendee’s job title Email Attendee’s email address Phone Attendee’s phone number Ticket name The ticket type the attendee bought Ticket ID The provider’s external ticket ID Barcode Provider barcode (same value the QR can encode)
Image
Image elements display a static image, typically a logo or sponsor mark. Position.X, Y, W, H in millimeters.
Image. Drop a file in the Source dropzone or click Browse. PNG and JPEG are supported; max file size is 4.5 MB. The image is embedded directly in the template.
Monochrome threshold. Zebra label printers are monochrome, so color and grayscale images are converted to black-and-white at print time. The threshold slider (0–255) sets which pixels become black: lower values keep less detail, higher values keep more. Adjust until the preview matches what you want printed.
QR
QR elements render a square barcode that staff or attendees can scan. Position.X, Y in millimeters and a single Size (mm) that controls both width and height since the QR is square.
QR content. Pick a QR type:
- Ticket ID encodes the provider’s external ticket identifier per attendee.
- Barcode encodes the provider’s barcode value per attendee (this is what the Badge staff scanner reads to look up an attendee).
- URL encodes a fixed URL that you enter in the URL field below. Use for a sponsor link, a Wi-Fi captive page, or a session schedule.
Rect
Rect elements draw a rectangle, useful for ticket-type color bars, dividers, or framing a section of the badge. Position.X, Y, W, H in millimeters.
Style:
- Filled. Solid fill (toggle on for a color bar; off for an outline).
- Border (mm). Outline thickness when Filled is off, or the inner border when Filled is on. Step is 0.1 mm.
Edit and reorder
The Elements list in the left sidebar lists every element in stacking order. Drag to reorder, click to select. Selected elements show their properties in the right panel. Delete with Delete or Backspace. Undo and Redo (⌘Z / ⇧⌘Z) cover every drag, resize, and field edit.Related
