Max Glide Mini Exec

Summary

Max is the flagship of the range and the biggest statement you can make at the door. Its large digital display runs static or full video backgrounds, the body takes branded decals or a complete wrap, and badges print on demand in full colour, at an average of 150 to 175 badges per hour, per kiosk.

Suitable For

High-impact arrivals with instant wow factor. Max turns check-in into a brand showpiece the moment attendees walk in, and because kiosks run side by side, a bank of Max units scales to events processing thousands of attendees.

Logistics

Max units are located in the UK, the US (Atlanta), Norway, Australia and Ireland, with global logistics options available subject to availability and destination. Its size increases transportation costs, and moving each unit takes two CrowdComms staff, or one with dedicated client support.

Suitable For

The premium arrival experience with none of the heavy lifting. Glide positions exactly where you need it, and several units side by side keep even the largest arrival window flowing.

Logistics

Glide units are located in the UK, the US (Atlanta and Boston), Norway, Spain, Australia and Ireland, and global logistics options are available subject to availability and destination. Moving each unit takes two CrowdComms staff, or one with dedicated client support.

Delegates checking in on Glide kiosks at an Executive Leaders Network event

Summary

Mini proves fast badging doesn't need a big footprint. The smallest and lightest kiosk in the range prints each attendee's name, title and company on demand onto pre-printed badge stock, with a digital display for your branding, optional decals or wraps for the body, and an average of 150 to 175 badges per hour, per kiosk. Printing is black ink only.

Suitable For

Smaller events, tight spaces and anywhere every metre counts. And because the badge stock is pre-printed, running multiple Minis with different stock gives each attendee group its own badge.

Logistics

Mini's light weight keeps logistics costs down, and one person can manage multiple Mini kiosks. Units are located in the UK, the US (Atlanta and Boston), Norway and Australia, with global logistics options available subject to availability and destination.

Branded Mini kiosks on the registration counter at the Regenerative Agriculture Summit Europe

Summary

Exec brings executive-level badging to the counter top. A plastic badge printer in a mid-weight body that sits on any desk or counter, it works from pre-printed badge stock and adds each attendee's name and title on demand in around eight seconds, with the finished badge usually presented on a magnetic strip or in a plastic holder with a clip.

Suitable For

Events where the badge itself is part of the impression. Exec produces executive-level plastic badges without the footprint of a floor-standing kiosk, and because full on-demand printing including the design can take up to thirty seconds, pre-printed stock is how Exec keeps arrivals moving in seconds.

Logistics

Exec is mid-weight, with lower logistics costs than Max and Glide, and one person can manage multiple kiosks. Units are located in the UK only, with global logistics options available subject to availability and destination.

Frequently Asked Questions About Badging Kiosks

Answers to common questions about self-service kiosks, badge printing and onsite check-in.

Self service badge kiosks allow attendees to quickly retrieve and print their event badge onsite, either by scanning their personalised QR code or searching for their name.

These types of event check in kiosk solutions are designed to work offline once configured, meaning they do not rely on venue Wi-Fi to deliver fast and reliable badge printing.

Attendees can easily self print event badge details onsite, while organisers can manage reprints and resets instantly through the mobile-friendly CrowdComms CMS, which also provides real-time statistics and reporting.

Each kiosk also features a large, brandable animated touchscreen interface, with full-body branding options available to align with the wider event experience.

Yes. Print on demand event badges are one of the most effective ways to streamline onsite registration and attendee arrivals.

There are many benefits to being able to print badges on arrival, including:

Faster check-in - badges are printed only when needed, helping reduce queues and waiting times
Less waste - no need to pre-print badges that may never be collected
Last-minute flexibility - easy to handle late registrations, walk-ups, and on-the-day changes
Lower logistics overhead - no sorting, transporting, or reprinting batches of badge
Professional experience - clean, consistent badge designs printed instantly onsite

Yes, CrowdComms supports different badge designs attendee type requirements, with multiple badge layouts able to be printed from the same kiosk.

Different badge designs can be created for different attendee types and groups, allowing organisers to produce fully personalised role based event badges onsite.

Thanks to full-colour printing, each audience group can have its own unique attendee type badge design, helping improve branding, identification, and the overall attendee experience.

When comparing pre printed vs onsite printed badges, the biggest differences are flexibility, speed, and the overall attendee experience.

Pre-printed badges do not allow for last-minute corrections, profile updates, or late additions once badges have already been produced. They also typically require more manual handling onsite, with staff often needed to sort and distribute badges while managing queues.

In contrast, onsite badge printing offers a faster and more flexible approach, allowing organisers to make real-time attendee updates and print badges instantly as attendees arrive.

For many organisers, the choice between pre print vs onsite print badges becomes a straightforward decision when looking for a faster, smoother, and more stress-free onsite badging experience.

When planning how many badge printers event organisers require, the best approach is to work backwards from your attendee numbers, expected arrival patterns, and the total amount of time available to print badges onsite.

A useful badge printer ratio can be estimated using the average print speeds of each kiosk type:

Max / Glide Kiosks - capable of printing up to approximately 150 badges per hour, per kiosk
Mini Kiosks - capable of printing up to approximately 200 badges per hour, per kiosk

Using these print speed estimates helps determine the correct number of kiosks needed to deliver a smooth and efficient attendee arrival experience.

Yes, walk up registration events can absolutely be supported through the CrowdComms onsite badging and registration platform.

The system allows organisers to manage onsite registration walk ins by capturing attendee information in real time, creating attendee profiles instantly, and printing badges onsite.

This also supports efficient same day event registration workflows by collecting key attendee details such as:

First name / Last name
Email address
Company
Country
