    badges printed on-site.

    Guests snap a photo. We drop it into your branded 4x6 badge design, print it on-site, and clip it to a lanyard — right there at your event.

    Great for keeping your brand top of mind while guests walk the tradeshow floor. Standard lanyards are included, custom dye sublimation lanyards can be ordered, and every badge pairs with any URBN photo experience — including our AI photo options.
