Get A Cheap Self-Service Badge Printing Kiosk For $1,000

Affordable event badge printing kiosk

You’re an event organizer on a budget; you see all these posh self-service event badge printing kiosks at your competitor events and want to bring them to your event.

You call up a kiosk company, get a quote, and you fall back in your chair realizing just how much they cost.

You’re defeated. But not anymore!

Introducing to you BadgeBot from Just Attend, the world’s first affordable self-service event badge printing kiosk for $1,000!

With BadgeBot you get the large expo event check-in experience at your conference but without the cost, leaving you with more money in your budget for nicer things.

What’s included:

  • Self-Service Pedestal Kiosk
  • Fully brandable outer skin on all 4 sides top to bottom
  • Full color, dual sided badge prints
  • Touchless and touchscreen operation
  • Fully automated, requires no assistant

How Does BadgeBot Work?

BadgeBot uses our existing event badge printing hardware you use for traditional counter-top style check-ins, but instead of the equipment being on show on top of a table, it’s enclosed within a freestanding column kiosk designed for attendee self-service.

BadgeBot, the affordable self-service event badge printing kiosk

Dimensions, BadgeBot sits 40cm (w) x 40cm (d) x 1500cm (h) making it very compact and comfortable to use by everyone.

BadgeBot is connected to your venue internet connectivity over WiFi or ethernet and only requires 1 plug socket with all other cables hidden within its internal structure making installations look elegant and minimalistic.

If your event requires event check-in mobility where power and internet isn’t available, BadgeBot can be configured to run on batteries and 5G internet so it can be installed almost anywhere and operate for 10 hours between charges.

BadgeBot connects to our registration system and uses the same software to enable attendees to scan their ticket and print their event badge seamlessly without interaction.

Should they forget their ticket, they can use the built-in touchscreen to enter their email address or name to find their ticket.

How Do I Install BadgeBot?

BadgeBot is made from 2 components; an internal frame and an external skin.

The frame arrives flat packed for ease of transportation, lower shipping costs and it can be constructed on site at your venue in just a few minutes without needing any tools.

The outer skin is made from 2 material choices:

  1. Corrugated Plastic (Correx) which is our standard material
  2. Corrugated Cardboard for a more premium finish and feel

Both materials are 100% recyclable which is an added advantage over vinyl branding options improving your event’s environmental impact.

The outer skin is fully customizable to your event and branding needs. It’s shipped directly to the venue pre-cut, with fold lines so all you need to do is fold the creases and slide it over the frame to complete the kiosk look.

When your event is over, simply put the outer skin in your venue’s recycling waste and place the frame kit back in its box.

Why Is BadgeBot Cheaper Than Other Options?

Cheap doesn’t always mean poor quality. The internal hardware used in BadgeBot is the same as we and other badge printing companies use across the world.

The main reasons why BadgeBot is cheaper than the competition is down to cheaper developmental, maintenance, and transportation costs.

It’s been made with your budget in mind but without losing the performance and visual qualities your attendees like at other events.

The frame is lightweight and can be flat packed into a box about the size of an airplane carry on case. This reduces the shipping costs down from $100’s to $10’s each way.

The outer skin is cheaper to produce vs vinyl stickers and the cost of application to the kiosk by our competitors by a few hundred dollars.

We also don’t require you to buy a wooden pedestal for the kiosk to sit on at several hundred dollars.

How Much Does BadgeBot Cost?

When pricing kiosk rental you need to factor in the cost of the hardware (printer, laptop, scanner), consumable like the badges and ink, branding, the kiosk shell itself, and the cost of shipping to and from your venue.

Using other providers, you’ll pay approximately $500 for the printer, laptop, and scanner rental, another $700 for the consumables like ink and badges, $300 for the kiosk shell, $400 for branding of the kiosk. In total that will set you back $1,900 without taking into consideration shipping to and from your venue and of course, the badge printing software.

Shipping costs are unavoidable, the size and weight of the equipment dictate the price, but you can expect a standard kiosk to take up around 3 boxes. Shipping cost per box, per direction will set you back around $200, so expect $1,200 in shipping costs on top.

That’s $3,200 per kiosk without software.

Using BadgeBot, our costs work out at approximately $400 for the printer, laptop, and scanner, $350 for consumables, $100 for the kiosk frame, $150 for the branding of the kiosk skin, bringing the total kiosk rental cost to $1,000 minus the software license cost.

When shipping, the kiosk hardware can be sent in 1 box rather than 2, and the kiosk frame sent in another. The cost of shipping per direction for them all is approximately $350, totalling $700.

That’s $1,700 per kiosk without software, delivered. Saving you $1,500 compared to our competitors.

BadgeBot brings event badge printing kiosk rental into affordable price ranges for the mid-sized event organizer.
