Question

How do I use an Excel file to personalize badges with different names?

Answer

Personalizing badges with different names uses variable data: a spreadsheet supplies the names and a template PDF shows where each name goes.

  • Upload an Excel file: include all names or personalization data, one entry per badge.
  • Provide a template PDF: the PDF acts as an example showing where the data will be placed.
  • Data is merged: the variable data from your spreadsheet is merged into each badge during printing.
  • Proofread first: names print exactly as typed, so check spelling before uploading.
