Shown at true printed size. Colours look slightly different on paper than on screen.
Tap any of these to load it, then change the details to your own.
On a card printer: use the CR80 size and print the PDF at 100% scale (no “fit to page”).
On an ordinary printer: use the print sheet, put white cardstock in the tray, print at 100%,

Both sides: the PDF puts the front on page 1 and the back on page 2, so use your printer's
double-sided setting, flipping on the short edge.
Your badge is ready. Choose how you want to make the physical card.
