Frequently Asked Questions
What paper size and type work best for printing name tags?
Standard 8.5" × 11" paper works perfectly with our generator. For durability, use cardstock (110lb or heavier) which provides a professional feel and prevents tearing. Regular printer paper works for temporary events, but cardstock is recommended for conferences and formal gatherings where name tags need to last all day.
How many name tags can I generate at once?
You can generate up to 50 name tags in a single session, with 2-4 tags per printed page depending on your layout choice. The generator automatically arranges multiple names into a print-ready format with proper spacing and cutting guides. For larger events, simply generate multiple batches and print additional pages as needed.
Can I customize the fonts and colors for specific events?
Yes! Our generator offers multiple font styles including bold sans-serif, serif, condensed, and rounded options. You can choose from five background colors (white, light blue, gray, cream, green) and four border styles (solid, double, dashed, or none). These options cover most professional and casual event needs while maintaining excellent readability.
Do the name tags include cutting guides for accurate sizing?
Absolutely. Every generated page includes dotted cutting guides that show exactly where to cut for perfectly sized name tags. The guides ensure your tags match standard name tag holder sizes (3.5" × 2.25" for standard, 4" × 3" for large). Print at 100% scale without any scaling adjustments for accurate dimensions.
Can I add titles, company names, or additional text to the name tags?
Currently, the generator focuses on names with optional "Hello, my name is" greeting text. For titles or company names, you can include them as part of the name input (e.g., "John Smith\nMarketing Director"). This keeps the tool simple while allowing flexibility for professional contexts where titles are important for networking.
