What is EventFlow (Copy)?

Effortlessly manage and check-in attendees for any event, from large conferences to intimate workshops.

On-demand vs pre-printed badges — which is better?

On-demand wins for nearly every event. It eliminates wasted badges from no-shows and last-minute name changes, and removes the alphabetical sorting bottleneck at the door.

What label size should I use?

For lanyards, 60×86mm (Brother DK-1241) is the most common. For chest stickers, 4×3" thermal labels work well. Check your lanyard sleeve before ordering.

Which printer is best for events?

Brother QL-820NWB and QL-1110NWB are the on-site standard — networked, fast, and reliable. Pair with PrintNode for cloud-driven printing.

Guide

Event Badge Printing: The Complete Guide

On-demand badge printing means badges are printed the moment an attendee checks in — never before. It eliminates waste, fixes typos automatically, and removes the most common bottleneck at the door.

On-demand vs pre-printed

Pre-printed badges look great in stacks, but they create three real problems on event day.

Wasted badges for every no-show — typically 15–25% of registered attendees.
Sorting bottleneck — staff hunt through alphabetical stacks while lines grow.
Name corrections become impossible after badges are printed.

Recommended hardware

Brother QL-820NWB — the standard for events under 5,000. WiFi, Ethernet, USB. Prints a 60×86mm badge in under 2 seconds.

Brother QL-1110NWB — for wider 4" badges. Same reliability as the 820 with larger format.

PrintNode — the cloud bridge that lets EventFlow trigger your Brother printer from any iPad on the network.
