Hi Kriss,
EIB printers are compatible with direct-thermal adhesive (sticky) badge stock, but the stock must meet the following requirements to work properly:
- Must be direct-thermal (not thermal transfer).
- Must include a timing mark; gap-notch or continuous stock is not recommended.
- Maximum badge stock width is 4 inches.
- For custom sizes (e.g., 2x3 inches), a custom badge stock template must be designed in the Badge Designer
- A few examples of the compatible sticky badges from one of our preferred vendor partner Velocity Labels can be found here and here.
- Always confirm with your badge stock supplier that the rolls are direct-thermal and have the required timing mark for EIB compatibility.

Subject: Sticky Badge Stock Compatible with EIB Printers?
We are wanting to do simple sticky Avery style name tags for an event and own an Event in the Box. Are the rolls of thermal sticky name tag stock compatible with our EIB printers?
