The onsite guide
Registration and activation, from first reminder to final prize.
Registration management gets every guest in smoothly and counted. Activation gives them a reason to take part. Here is how EventNook handles each moment. Use all of it, or only what your event needs.
Moment 1Before doors open
Registration
WhatsApp reminders
Send confirmations, QR tickets and day-of reminders on the channel guests actually read. Messages use approved templates, personalised for each guest.
WhatsApp messagingMoment 2At the door
Registration
Kiosk check-in
Guests scan their QR code or search their name at a self-service kiosk, or your team runs a staffed counter. Walk-ins are registered on the spot.
Kiosk check-inRegistration
Badging
The badge prints as each guest checks in, in about two seconds. Nothing is pre-printed by name, so no-shows leave no waste and late changes are simple.

Breakout session tracking
Scan guests in and out of breakouts, master classes, meals and dinners. Watch live occupancy, manage capacity and report how long people stayed.

Event pocket app
NookPass puts the agenda, digital badge, floor plan and announcements on every phone. It opens in the browser, so there is nothing to install.

Lucky draw
Each eligible guest holds one number, in the app or printed on the badge. The host runs the draw from a console, and every result is recorded before it reaches the big screen.
Lucky drawOne badge, four jobs.
The badge a guest receives at the door carries them through the rest of the event.

- SessionsScanned at the door of each breakout.
- ExhibitorsScanned on the stand. A foldable badge can carry a separate exhibitor QR.

The kit
What a registration counter runs on.
Zebra thermal printer
Prints each guest’s details in about two seconds. We recommend the ZD500 and ZD620 desktop printers.
Ribbon
One black ribbon prints about 440 badges at 4 × 6 in, or about 220 at 4 × 12 in. Each printer needs its own roll loaded.
Badge stock
Art card or tear-proof, blank or pre-printed with your artwork. Allow extra for testing and reprints.
iPad or laptop
iPads run the check-in app as kiosks or at staffed counters. Check-in can also run from a laptop at the same station.
Internet connection
A dedicated connection keeps your counters off the venue’s shared guest Wi-Fi. We rent a 4G mobile router for this.
Lanyards and holders
Tear-proof badges need no plastic holder. Art card is usually paired with one, so the lanyard doesn’t tear through.
Badge stock
Badge stock for Zebra thermal printers.
Your artwork is pre-printed on the stock. On the day, the Zebra adds each guest’s details in black, on the front. Choose your options to build a spec.
Pre-printing your artwork takes about two weeks (10 to 14 working days) from artwork confirmation, so send it early. Our onsite packages include an extra 30% of stock for testing and reprints.

Foldable badge
One pass through the printer, two faces to use.
The 4 × 12 in badge prints flat as a single piece, then folds in half to a 4 × 6 in badge.
- Front: name, company and check-in QR.
- Back: exhibitor QR, agenda or sponsor branding.
- Holes at both ends line up when folded, so it hangs as one badge.
- Best for exhibitions: attendees keep one QR for check-in, while exhibitors scan a separate one for leads.
- Plan your ribbon: one roll prints about 220 of these.
Holes and corners
Small details that change how it hangs.
Centre hole
The standard choice. The Zebra also uses it to sense where each badge starts.
Two side holes
For a double-clip lanyard that stops the badge spinning. Check the printer’s sensing with us first.
Centre plus two sides
Keeps the sensing hole and gives you a double-clip option too.
Corners can be rounded or sharp. Hole size and placement can be customised. You don’t need to draw holes or rounded edges in your artwork, because they’re added during production.
Artwork
Design for what the printer can do.
- Leave room for the detailsKeep a white or light area for name, company, category and table number. The more you print, the more space you need.
- Expect black textThe Zebra prints in one colour, normally black, so avoid dark backgrounds where details will land.
- Send vector filesSupply an Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file with the original vectors and bleed.
- Decide on categories earlyPrint guest categories at the bottom of one design, or pre-print a design per category. Separate designs cost more, because each must meet the minimum order.

A guide, not a guarantee. Each printer needs its own ribbon loaded. Counters follow our standard packages, with one printer and one iPad each. As a rule of thumb, plan about 6 counters for 1,000 guests arriving within an hour. Your arrival peak matters most, so try the onsite registration planner.
Printer setup
Running it with your own team?
Rent the kit from us, or use your own. These are the settings our help centre recommends.
| Setting | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Print method | Thermal Transfer with a ribbon. Direct Thermal needs heat-sensitive stock. |
| Media type | GAP/NOTCH for punched holes or gaps, with the sensor moved under the hole. MARK for stock with black marks. |
| Resolution | 203 DPI for ZD500, 300 DPI for ZD620 |
| Darkness and speed | Darkness 28, print speed 4 |
| Printing from an iPad | The iOS kiosk app needs the Zebra shared over AirPrint. Printopia on a MacBook does this. |

FAQ
Common questions
Which badge sizes work with a Zebra printer?
For badges on a lanyard: 4 × 6 in and 3.74 × 5.70 in (95 × 145 mm), which we recommend, plus 4 × 5, 4 × 4, 3.5 × 5 and 4 × 3 in. The 4 × 12 in foldable also runs through the printer. For stickers: 4 × 2.5 in (recommended) and 4 × 3 in.
Can a Zebra print in colour or on both sides?
No. It prints in one colour, normally black, and on the front only. Colour comes from your pre-printed artwork, which can be single-sided (4C/0C) or double-sided (4C/4C). Leave a white or light area on the front for guest details.
What is the difference between art card and tear-proof?
Art card is coated card from 150 to 230 gsm, in matte or glossy, and suits single-day events. Tear-proof is a heavyweight recyclable synthetic that resists tears, water and scratches and needs no plastic holder, so it suits conferences, exhibitions and multi-day events.
How does a foldable badge work?
A 4 × 12 in badge prints flat in a single pass, then folds in half to 4 × 6 in, with holes at both ends that line up. That gives two faces: usually the name and check-in QR on the front, and an exhibitor QR, agenda or sponsors on the back.
Which lanyard holes should I choose?
Keep the centre hole, because the printer uses it to sense each badge. Two side holes suit a double-clip lanyard that stops the badge spinning. We can also customise hole size and placement.
How much stock and ribbon do I need?
As a guide, plan 30% extra stock for testing and reprints. One ribbon prints about 440 badges at 4 × 6 in, or about 220 at 4 × 12 in. These are estimates, not guaranteed yields.
Can I buy badge stock without the onsite service?
Yes. For events in Singapore you can order stock on its own, add equipment rental, or have our crew run the whole desk. Tell us your date and quantity and we will quote for what you need.
How early should I order pre-printed badges?
Allow about two weeks (10 to 14 working days) from artwork confirmation. Tell us your event date and we will work backwards from it.
