At work, I was asked to create a badge printing application, which allowed fast and easy printing of attendee badges at large corporate events.
I ended up writing an application using Laravel (PHP+mySQL) and Electron (JS). This application allowed for the client to upload their database of 1500+ attendees and print their badges.
The system utilizes a handheld barcode scanner to scan a QR code containing the attendee’s email address. It then searches the system to find a matching email, and prints the badge. All of this happens in less than a second, and the badge is simply torn off, folded in half and attached to a branded lanyard.
The system also has various options to manually enter badge details, lookup the database and manually print a record. It’s a comprehensive system which has slowly been perfected by using it across multiple events. In total we’ve printed over 25,000 badges with it.
