Name
for the Badge Template. Templates that are the backside of a two-
sided badge must have the same name with the number 2 appended to the end. For
example: if the front side were named ACS the backside would be named ACS2.
The single sided, front side or back side of a two sided badge option must be set
appropriately on the General Tab.

landscape badge. The proper size for adhesive backed laminates used to adhere to
standard proximity cards is Width – 2.075 and Height – 3.327. Badges can be up to 4”.
