How frequentix works, for the people running the event.

Orientation guides for every part of the platform — the organiser console, your public storefront, and the Scanner and Box Office apps at the door. Enough to know what to expect; the console itself guides each step.

Badges: design & printing

Conference lanyards, expo name tags, crew passes: design them once in a drag-and-drop editor, and print any attendee’s badge from the console.

What badges are

A badge is a printable card rendered per ticket: the attendee’s name, their company, their ticket type, your artwork — and, when you place one, a QR code that scans at the door exactly like the ticket itself. Four ready-made platform templates (an A6 name-and-QR, a compact A7, a landscape conference card and a portrait lanyard) ship as starting points; duplicate-and-edit or design from blank.

The editor

The badge template editor: an element palette and layer list beside a live 148 × 105 mm canvas showing a name, company, ticket type and QR code.
Design → Badge templates — elements on the left, the live badge in the middle, properties on the right.
  • Ten element types: full name, first name, last name, company, ticket type, custom text, QR code, barcode, image and rectangle — dragged, resized and layered on a live canvas with snapping, undo and zoom.
  • Seven size presets from A4 down to a CR80 name-tag card (86 × 54 mm), plus lanyard and conference formats — or any custom size from 10 mm up to 297 mm, either orientation.
  • Nine typefaces, with per-element size, weight and alignment; text that outgrows its box can shrink, wrap or clip — your choice, so a long name can’t silently break the layout.
  • A live preview renders the design with sample data as you work, so what you approve is what prints.
  • Registration answers can appear on badges where mapped — job titles and dietary flags collected at purchase end up printed, not re-typed.

Templates & which one prints

A template is organiser-wide or event-scoped, and one can be the default. A ticket type can pin its own template — VIP passes on the lanyard, day tickets on the card — and the most specific template wins: the ticket type’s, then the event’s default, then yours. A ticket type can also opt out of badges entirely, for electronic-only tickets.

Printing

Badges render from the console — an attendee’s row or their order — as PDF or PNG, sized exactly to the template, ready for your badge printer. Scanner and Box Office don’t print badges; the door scans them. Designing templates and printing badges are separate permissions, so front-desk staff can print without being able to edit the design.
