OCRS Badge Creator
The OCRS Badge Creator was made when we decided that it would be beneficial to have a station where attendees could print their own badges out. Prior to this, we were making badges for people that forgot to sign up online. This makes it so that we could leave the line that needed a badge largely unmonitored and redirect the staff of the event elsewhere.
The badge creator, although simply styled, has the print template set up for the badge printers that the Information Security Office had: 4 x 12 inch, Single-sided fold-over badges. It also had a WYSIWYG editor built in, so that users could orient and resize their text field on the badge as needed. Finally, it would make a QR code that scanned as a contact card for your smartphone.
Leaving a blank spot to upload new designs for the event ensures that the software can be used for as many years as we have the same printer.
