Submitting Data for Custom Badges |
| Card Data |
| If there will be data
such as Company Name, telephone number, or backside text that will be
printed the same on every card, submit that information in a simple email or
text file. Be sure to submit in ALL CAPS or Upper/Lower case just as you
would want the text to appear on the card. |
| Employee Data |
| Employee number, first name, last name, hire date, title or department, or any data that
will be different from card to card should be submitted as an MS-Excel XLS file.
|
Be sure to submit employee names as two fields: first name and last
name. We can combine the fields if you want the full name on a single line. However, we
will not split a single field apart.
Please submit ALL fields as simple text just as you want them to appear
on the badge, since any Excel field formatting does not carry over to our card-printing
program.
If you want the names or other data in all CAPS, you must submit them
that way. If you want Upper/Lower case, then submit your data in upper/lower case.
BE CONSISTANT.
Include a field for any data that will be different from card to card
such as branch telephone numbers or addresses, badge number for encoding. A separate field
is required for each line printed. E.g. if you want the employee's address on one line and
their city, state zip code below it, that requires two fields in the Excel file.
A field MUST be included that references the name of the employee's
image file. Besides employee images, references can be made to different image files for
different employee badges such as color bars, insignia's, logos, etc. However each image
file must be the same aspect ratio for this to work.
File should be named (your company name).xls.
