Jomablue Smart Badge Printing

Event Check-in Plinth Specification

Through our experience collaborating with customers at various events, we have learned that even the smallest details in the Event Check-in process can significantly enhance the overall experience. Below are the specifications for the Jomablue plinth, designed to support the best possible Event Check-In experience.

If a stand/expo builder has a pre-built plinth that is a cheaper option, please consult your Project Manager to determine if it meets your needs.

The below plinth specifications are suggested to fit two Jomablue Smart Badge printers on top comfortably:

• An internal shelf is required to hold tablets that connect to each printer, along with the necessary cabling. This shelf should be positioned no less than 1/3 from the top of the plinth.
• The back section of the plinth must be left open to allow access to the internal shelf and to ensure proper equipment ventilation.
• A cable hole must be drilled toward the centre at the back of the plinth’s top. This allows cables from the printers above to reach the equipment on the shelf below.
• Plinth numbers should be displayed at a height above head level. This is crucial for visibility from a distance, as signage placed below waist height can be obscured by people standing near it. Your Project Manager will advise you on the best signage for your event.
• For 3 or more plinths, you must have 2 separate power circuits. This is vital to reduce the risk of disruption in case one circuit fails.
• Each plinth requires power, including 1 power board with 4 outlets.
• Lanyard holders (arms) must be attached to each plinth. The number of arms will depend on the variations of lanyards needed and arms should be 20-30cm in length. Please consult your Project Manager for specifics.

Event Check-in FAQ

Q: Is there a standard template for the e-Ticket and e-Ticket email?

A: We recommend using our standard template for your e-Ticket email, which will be provided via the Client Blueprint. The use of this template is free of charge. If you wish to use a custom-developed HTML format, please provide us with 3 weeks’ notice; an additional fee of $450 will apply.

Please note that any changes to the e-Ticket template must be sent to us no later than 3 weeks before the event start date.

Q: How does print routing work?

A: When a person’s e-Ticket is scanned, our system assigns their Smart Badge to print at one of the printers in the group. For example, if there are 6 printers at 'Main Event Check-in', that Badge will print at 1 of those 6. Our system intelligently balances the printing workload across all available printers, preventing the formation of queues.

In cases of high arrival volumes requiring multiple printers, we can designate specific e-Ticket scanners to particular print groups, improving arrival flow and minimising cross-traffic. Our careful planning of check-in layout, printer distribution, and arrival density ensures a smooth and efficient check-in process.

Our experience in managing traffic flow has also helped us identify the ideal distance for attendees to walk between e-ticket scanning and badge distribution. By keeping a minimum distance of 6 metres between the badge distribution plinths and the e-ticket scanning staff, we maintain attendee flow even during peak arrival times.
