Frequently asked questions

How do I print name tags for free?

Open a name tag template in our editor (free, no account required to preview), type your organization name and adjust the colors, then download the PDF and print on your home printer. Use plain cardstock for cut-and-insert badges, or Avery 5395 adhesive label sheets if you want peel-and-stick badges.

What Avery template number matches these name tags?

Our 6-up sheet is designed to match Avery 5395 (4"×3" name badge inserts). It also works with Avery 8395 and most generic conference badge insert packs. Always print a test page on plain paper and hold it up to your badge inserts to verify alignment before printing on label stock.

Can I print just one name tag instead of a full sheet?

Our template prints all 6 positions. If you only need one badge, print the sheet and leave the other positions blank — or fill the blank positions with a second attendee so you don't waste label stock.

What's the best paper for printing name tags at home?

For badge-holder inserts: standard 20 lb printer paper works fine since the holder provides rigidity. For freestanding name tags: 65–80 lb cardstock is ideal — stiff enough to stand up in a badge clip but thin enough to feed through most home printers. For adhesive peel-and-stick: use Avery 5395 label sheets.

Can I add a QR code to a printable name tag?

Not directly in this editor (QR generation is not a built-in feature). You can create a QR code in a free QR generator, save it as a PNG image, upload it to the template's image zone, and then export the PDF. This is a common workaround for conference badges that link to a digital business card.
