Why event planners switch to EasyBox

If you've rented CVENT's Event in a Box, you know the friction: mandatory support packages, complex setup, and bills that grow fast. EasyBox was designed to remove all of it.

FAQ

Everything event planners ask before switching

What exactly is EasyBox by Xtag?

EasyBox is a DIY badge printing and check-in kit shipped to your venue. It includes an iPad or laptop, an on-demand label/badge printer, badge stock, a stand, and the Xtag software, all pre-configured for your event.

How is it different from CVENT Event in a Box?

EasyBox is truly self-service. No mandatory project manager, no scalable service package, no required internet. It's purpose-built for events up to 1,000 attendees and typically ships at a significantly lower all-in cost.

Do I need Wi-Fi or a router at the venue?

No venue internet hardline needed. Regular Wi-Fi (or even a hotspot) is enough, mainly for the initial setup. During the event you don't need a constant connection: EasyBox works fully offline and automatically syncs every time it gets back online. So you never pay for venue internet packages or rent routers.

How many attendees can a single EasyBox handle?

Each kiosk completes self check-in and on-demand badge printing in under 30 seconds per attendee. That's comfortably over 120 badges per hour. For larger events or peak arrival windows, simply add more kiosks or move to Xtag's full-service option.

Can I brand the kiosk and badges?

Yes. Every EasyBox can be fully branded: on-screen UI and badge design. Your event, your look.

How much does EasyBox cost?

Pricing depends on event size and quantity of kiosks. Request a quick quote and we'll come back within one business day with a transparent, all-in price.
