Badge Back Image
-
- In addition to customizing your badges, you also have the option to upload a back image. If a back image is added, it will appear on separate page(s) when the badges are exported to a PDF.
- For best results, we recommend using an image with a minimum resolution of 150 DPI. Given the current badge dimensions and bleed settings, an image size of at least 600 pixels wide by 450 pixels tall is ideal.
Save the changes: If you forget to click Save Changes and proceed by clicking Next, a prompt will appear asking whether you’d like to save or discard the changes.
You can preview, export, and sort badges easily using the available options #
- Sort your attendee list using the Sort by dropdown: choose from Last Name, First Name, Most Recent Registered, Oldest Registered, Name Length, Company Name Length, or Position Name Length.
- Export All to download all badge templates in one file.
- Export Selected to choose specific attendees by checking the box next to their names.
