Printing

Printing passes and wristbands

You print passes on a regular printer and wristbands on a Zebra printer. You print straight from CrewDeck — no separate design programs needed.

Accreditation passes

Passes on a regular printer

A pass measures 105 × 148 mm (A6, a quarter of A4). Print a single pass or a whole sheet at once.

How to print

  1. Choose a design in Settings → Accreditation: Classic, Colorblock, Dark-tech or Own design.
  2. At Accreditation → Passes click Print pass (one pass) or Print all passes (four per A4).
  3. Choose your printer in your browser’s print window, preferably at 100% scale and without headers.
Always print a test pass from the pass editor first to check that everything sits correctly on the paper.

Own design

With Own design you upload a background and drag the name, photo, QR code and zones where you want them. You can copy the design to the passes of participants and external parties.

Tip: make the image in the proportions of the pass — for example 1240 × 1748 pixels — so nothing gets cropped.

Wristbands

Wristbands on a Zebra printer

CrewDeck runs online and your printer is local. Choose how wristbands reach the printer:

Zebra Browser Print Recommended

A free Zebra program on the computer you print from. Print via USB or the network with one click.

Suitable for: most situations, including a USB printer.

To IP address Fixed print station

The server sends the wristband to the network printer (port 9100). No extra program to install.

Suitable for: a network-connected Zebra at a fixed spot.

To file (.zpl) Fallback

Download a file and send it to the printer yourself.

Suitable for: occasional printing without a network.

To USB (WebUSB) Chrome or Edge

The browser talks directly to a USB printer. Only works in Chrome or Edge and over a secure (https) connection.

Suitable for: a laptop with a USB printer.
A wristband is printed on a 25.4 × 254 mm roll (300 dpi). You print a test wristband first and adjust the position if needed.
