You can easily design and manage your own badge templates in your project using our badge designer. This allows you to create multiple templates, add custom colors, logos, and set dynamic worker information you'd like printed (name, photo, company, trade, etc).
Creating a template
To get started head to Project Settings/Badging. From here you can click Add badge template to launch the designer.
Our latest update to this process now allows:
- You to duplicate an existing badge template instead of starting from scratch.
Adding elements
Fixed elements
Fixed elements are static and do not change as badges are printed. These include:
- Labels
- Images or logos
- Shapes (rectangle or circle)
- Adjustable size, color, stroke, and corner radius
Keep in mind, you can:
- Click a fixed element to add it to your badge canvas. These can be dragged to position and resized as necessary.
- And use a grid with snap-to-grid makes it easier to line up elements.
Dynamic elements
Dynamic elements are specific to the worker and change depending on the badge printed. These include most registration fields and profile attributes.
Click to add a dynamic element to your badge canvas. These can be dragged to position and resized. Use the properties pane to set the field value you'd like printed.
Our latest additions to dynamic elements are:
- You can now show any dynamic field as a QR code on it's own or based on a structured URL.
- Custom fields used on your project can now be added to badges.
- New option to keep a dynamic field's text exactly as entered, with no automatic capitalization.
Previewing & saving
Once a template is setup and ready click Save template. You will be presented with a rendered example of what a printed badge will look like. Use this as a guide to adjust spacing, alignment, and to confirm elements.

Your saved badge template will show as an available option when printing a badge from a worker profile.
