Why Choose the Magicard E+ Event Badge Printer?
The Magicard E+ is purpose-built for on-site event badge printing, offering flexibility, speed, and reliability where standard ID card printers fall short. Designed to handle extra-long badge formats, it allows organisers to produce professional, branded passes on demand — without relying on pre-printed stock or external suppliers.
Built for busy event environments, the Magicard E+ delivers fast output, consistent print quality, and simple setup, making it ideal for conferences, exhibitions, festivals, and live events where timings can change quickly. Its flexible card handling supports multiple badge lengths, giving teams room for names, logos, QR codes, and sponsor branding.
For organisations upgrading from standard CR80-only printers, the Magicard E+ offers a clear step up in badge flexibility and on-site control. And compared to outsourcing badge production, it gives event teams the freedom to print exactly what they need, exactly when they need it — reducing waste, delays, and last-minute stress.
Magicard E+ Event Badge Printer Key Features
The Magicard E+ Event Badge Printer is designed specifically for creating professional, extra-long name badges on demand. It supports three badge sizes (86 × 54mm, 109 × 54mm, and 140 × 54mm) and features an adjustable card feeder that allows organisers to switch easily between formats during live events.
Manufactured in the UK, the Magicard E+ delivers colour-rich badge printing with built-in HoloKote® security, helping protect event passes without the need for additional consumables. It’s quick to set up, easy to use, and capable of printing full-colour badges in around 23 seconds and monochrome badges in as little as 6 seconds, keeping registration desks running smoothly.
Flexible Badge Formats
The Magicard E+ is designed to print multiple badge lengths, including extra-long formats up to 140 × 54mm. This gives organisers the flexibility to include names, logos, QR codes, sponsor branding, and role information on a single badge without compromising layout or readability.
Fast On-Site Printing
Built for live event environments, the Magicard E+ produces full-colour badges in around 23 seconds and monochrome badges in as little as 6 seconds. This makes it ideal for registration desks where speed matters and queues need to keep moving.
Event-Ready Reliability
Designed for temporary and high-pressure environments, the Magicard E+ is easy to set up, simple to operate, and reliable throughout long event days. Its adjustable card feeder supports different badge lengths without complex reconfiguration, keeping teams focused on attendees rather than equipment.
Made in the UK with Built-In Security
Manufactured in the UK, the Magicard E+ features HoloKote® watermark security, helping protect event badges from unauthorised copying without additional consumables. UK engineering and support ensure dependable performance when it matters most.
Who Is the Magicard E+ Event Badge Printer For?
The Magicard E+ is designed for organisations that need to print professional event badges on demand, where speed, flexibility, and reliability are essential.
It’s an excellent fit for:
- Event organisers and agencies running conferences, exhibitions, and corporate events
- Venues and registration teams printing badges on-site for delegates, speakers, and staff
- Trade shows and expos where longer badges are needed for branding, roles, or QR codes
- Sporting and live events requiring fast turnaround for passes and credentials
The Magicard E+ is ideal where badges are issued during the event itself, rather than pre-printed in advance. Its ability to handle multiple badge sizes, including extra-long formats, makes it especially useful for events with complex branding or information requirements.
If you need a reliable, easy-to-use printer that can keep registration moving smoothly while delivering professional-looking badges, the Magicard E+ is purpose-built for the job.
How Many Badges Can the Magicard E+ Print?
The Magicard E+ Event Badge Printer is designed for fast, on-site badge production during live events.
In ideal conditions, it can print up to 540 monochrome badges per hour, depending on badge size. This makes it well suited to busy registration desks where badges need to be produced quickly and consistently throughout the day.
For full-colour badges, print speeds are slightly lower, but the Magicard E+ can still comfortably produce hundreds of badges per day, helping keep queues moving during peak check-in periods at conferences, exhibitions, and live events.
Actual output will vary based on badge length, colour requirements, and how continuously the printer is in use, but the Magicard E+ is built to handle the demands of professional event environments without slowing teams down.
Magicard E+ Event Badge Printer vs Standard ID Card Printers
If you’re currently using a standard ID card printer to produce event badges, the Magicard E+ represents a significant upgrade in speed, flexibility, and event-day efficiency.
Compared to traditional ID card printers, the Magicard E+ offers:
- Support for standard and extra-long badge formats (up to 140mm)
- Faster on-site badge production, helping reduce registration queues
- An adjustable badge feeder designed specifically for live event use
- Greater flexibility for branding, QR codes, roles, and sponsor information
- Reliable performance in busy, high-pressure event environments
Standard ID card printers are well suited to staff IDs and office use, but they’re not designed for the demands of live events. Limited badge sizes and slower handling can quickly lead to bottlenecks at registration desks.
The Magicard E+ bridges that gap by providing a printer purpose-built for on-demand event badging, giving organisers a professional, scalable solution without the complexity or cost of larger badge production systems.
