A double-sided badge carries a design on the back as well as the front, so the attendee's name or QR code stays visible when the lanyard turns. For event badge printing in Eventify, you design both sides in one badge template, check them in the preview, and print them from the admin panel or, for foldable badges, from the kiosk.

The first time you turn it on, the back starts with the same default elements as a new badge front. If you turn Add back page off later, the back is hidden but its design is kept. Turn it on again and your back design comes back.
Once the back page is on, an Editing side control appears under the switch.
The back needs at least one element. If it's empty, saving shows "Please add at least one element to the back side, or turn off "Add back page"."

The Foldable switch sets how the two sides are printed.
Choose Foldable if you plan to print badges at a self check-in kiosk. Use a non-foldable back when you print sheets of badges on both sides of the paper from the admin panel.
On the Badge Printing page, click Select Attendee & Generate on the template's row, choose your attendees and generate the PDF. The back side is included:
See How to Design and Print Attendee Badges on Eventify for the rest of the generate options.
The kiosk prints the back of a foldable badge on the second half of the badge.
The full kiosk steps, including the fold direction and lining up the print, are in How to Print Two-Sided and Fanfold Badges on the Desktop Kiosk.
Can I print two-sided badges at the self check-in kiosk?
Yes, if the badge is foldable. A badge whose back prints on a separate page can't be printed from the kiosk.
Does turning off Add back page delete my back design?
No. The back is hidden but kept, and it comes back when you turn Add back page on again.
Why can't I save my double-sided badge?
The back side is empty. Add at least one element to the back, or turn off Add back page.
What badge stock do I need for a foldable badge?
Stock that is twice the height of your badge design, because the front and back print one above the other. Check that your printer supports that size.
