This page has some tips about the correct formatting of your badges.

(3) Which Paper?
The badges are printed on a standard of 8.5" * 11" paper. You have two choices for generating your badges:

(3) Which Paper?
The badges are printed on a standard of 8.5" * 11" paper. You have two choices for generating your badges:
- Use any standard of 8.5" * 11" paper like heavy white paper and use a paper cutter to cut out the 6 badges you get on each sheet of paper, or:
- Use a name badge paper which is perforated for each badge. Separating the badges is easier and quicker on this type of paper. We recommend the Avery # 5392 for this. The pack contains 300 badges on 50 sheets. You can get this from from Amazon for $12.79 with free shipping for Prime members.

IMPORTANT : The default Print Size setting in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC will produce incorrect badge formatting. Change the setting to fix this issue. Here is how:
-
From the
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
menu, select
File -> Print
-
In the Print dialogue box,
Page Sizing and Handling
section , by default the selected setting is
"Shrink oversized pages".
This is the wrong setting for our purposes.
-
Change this option to
"Actual size."
You should now be able to print badges with the correct alignment.
