How to use
- Paste the list, one person per line. Copy name, organization and role columns from Excel, or type them with commas.
- Pick a size, measuring your badge holder first. Add the event name and a logo if you want them.
- Download the PDF, print on cardstock, cut along the lines and slip the badges into their holders.
Options explained
- Badge size
- On A4, 90 × 54 mm (business card) and 86 × 54 mm (ID card holder) fit 10 per page, 100 × 70 mm fits 8, 102 × 76 mm (4 × 3 in) fits 6, and the vertical 90 × 130 mm and A6 sizes fit 4. Letter counts can differ, and the tool shows the count for your paper. You can also enter a custom size.
- Role colors
- Put a role such as Speaker, Attendee or Staff in the third column. A band with that word prints along the bottom of the badge, and each role gets its own color. The first role uses your main color.
- Extra blank badges
- These print with the event name only, so walk-ins can write their name by hand.
Which size to pick
| Use | Suggested size | Per A4 page |
|---|---|---|
| Company events and training, clipped on | 90 × 54 mm | 10 |
| Existing plastic ID holders | 86 × 54 mm | 10 |
| US-style 4 × 3 in holders | 102 × 76 mm | 6 |
| Academic conferences and trade shows, on a lanyard | 90 × 130 mm or A6 | 4 |
Lanyard badges hang lower and get read from farther away, so a larger vertical badge gives the name more room.
For table cards, paste the same list into the name tent maker.
Frequently asked questions
What size is my badge holder?
Holders vary by a few millimeters even under the same name, so measure the insert. If nothing matches, enter a custom size, then cut one test sheet on plain paper and try it.
What should I check when printing?
Choose Actual size or 100% scale. Fit to page changes the size and the badges may not go in the holder.
What logo formats work?
PNG, JPG and SVG. A PNG with a transparent background looks best. The logo sits on a white block at the left of the top band.
Is my list uploaded?
No. The badges are made in your browser. The list and logo are not saved, only settings such as size and color.
