Can I generate a badge for every attendee at once?

Yes — loop your registrant list and call /api/v1/generate per person to get one PDF each.

Can I print multiple badges per sheet?

Generate individual badge PDFs and arrange them with your print tooling, or edit the template to lay out a grid per page.

Can I change the colour and event name?

Yes — both are editable in the template; the event name is a Handlebars token you pass per render.

Events

Name badge generator

The classic “Hello my name is” conference badge — generate one per registrant in seconds.

Create the classic "Hello my name is" conference badge for every registrant in seconds. Pass the attendee name, title, company and event, and PDFgen returns a clean, printable name badge PDF.

It’s a single API call per badge, so generating tags for an entire event is just a loop over your sign-up list.

Generate a Name Badge PDF via the API

POST your data to /api/v1/generate and get a PDF back. Copy-paste an example, swap in your API key, and loop over a list to render thousands — one name badge per record.
