Name Tent Maker

Paste your attendee list and each person gets a name tent. Print on A4 or Letter, fold along the middle, and the name reads correctly from the front and the back. You can paste the name, organization and role columns straight from Excel.

Runs in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded

One person per line: name, organization, role. Separate with commas or paste those three columns from Excel. 3 people so far.

Leave blank if you do not need it.

When printing, choose Actual size or 100% scale so nothing is shrunk or cut off. Everything is made in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

How to use

  1. Paste the list, one person per line. Copy name, organization and role columns from Excel, or type them with commas.
  2. Add the event name and a logo if you want them, then pick the size and color.
  3. Download the PDF, print on heavier paper and fold along the dashed line.

Options explained

Size
1 per sheet folds to the full sheet width and half its height, about 11.7 × 4.1 in on A4, which suits long tables and panels. 2 per sheet gets cut across the middle first, then folded to about 8.3 × 2.9 in on A4.
Print both sides
The top half is printed upside down so it reads correctly after folding. Turn this off to leave the back blank for notes or an agenda.
Long names
The text shrinks to fit, so long names and organizations stay inside the card.

Preparing the list

Name Organization Role
Emma Wilson Northfield University Speaker
David Chen Acme Labs Attendee

Set it up as three columns in Excel, copy the cells and paste them into the Names box. The last two columns are optional. If there is only a name, it prints larger.

To type it by hand, use one line per person with commas: Emma Wilson, Northfield University, Speaker. If a name has a comma in it, paste from Excel instead, because tab-separated rows keep commas as they are.

The same list works for name badges.

Frequently asked questions

What paper should I use?

Regular copy paper is too floppy to stand up. Use cardstock around 65–110 lb (120–200 gsm) and check that your printer can feed it.

Why is the text upside down on half the page?

That half becomes the other side once folded. Fold along the dashed line with the text facing out.

Do I need a duplex printer?

No. Print single-sided. Both faces are on the same side of the sheet, and folding makes it two-sided.

Is my list uploaded?

No. The cards are made in your browser. The list and logo are not saved, only settings such as color and size.
