How to prepare a badge layout in Zoho Backstage

Preparing the badge layout

Pick the style and layout for your event badges to suit your needs. Backstage provides preset sizes like A7, A6, CR80, and CR100 in portrait and landscape orientations to choose from or even set up a custom size that help you display your content in your desired format. Create various badge layouts based on the roles of the people who are part of your event. Default badge templates for organizers, speakers, staff, sponsors, and exhibitors are available, which you can further customize. For attendees, you can create a common badge template, or make one for each ticket class.



  1. Switch to the Manage dashboard using the toggle button in the top-right corner of the Event Console.
  2. Click the Overview tab.
  3. Click the Go to badge design link in the Badge Design area. The Badge Design page will display.
  4. Click dropdown menu associated with the Create Badge button.
