Printable name tags

Four tags, each with "Hello, my name is" over a rule to write on. Folded across the middle, one stands on a desk and reads from the front and the back at once.

What is on this sheet

The two panels of a tent are the same piece of paper, which is exactly what a printed back cannot promise on a home printer. A second pass through the tray lands a little off and lands off asymmetrically, so a name printed on the back of a card ends up a few millimeters from where the front says it is. Folding sidesteps the whole problem: whatever the printer did, it did to both halves at once.

The upper panel is printed upside down, and it is meant to be. Fold the top half back and down and it comes round to face the other way, so it has to be printed the other way up to be read — and the fold is exactly halfway down the card, which is what makes the two panels match rather than nearly match. Print on the heaviest paper the printer will take; at this size a tag in ordinary copier paper will not stand.

Every rule, every box and every cut line on the page above is drawn as ink rather than as a background color, which is why it comes out of the printer looking like it does on screen: browsers throw background paint away unless somebody has ticked Background graphics, and a page of cut guides that printed invisibly is a page somebody cuts freehand. The lengths are in inches for a plainer reason still — a card that says it is three and three quarter inches wide is going to be measured, and a die that is not square does not fold up. The number in the footer is the seed the sheet was built from, so the identical sheet can be had again next term.

Change what is on it

This page is one sheet out of four families that between them print the forms, the week, the paper that gets cut up and the two things that are objects rather than pages. How many rows a chart has, how many cards there are to a page, how much room each answer gets, which verse is on it and whether a tag folds are all settings — so a chore chart with six rows, or a dated calendar for next March, is the same sheet with one control moved rather than a page somebody has to have written first.

The settings travel in the link rather than on a server, so a sheet you make can be bookmarked or sent to another family as it stands — and the Name: line, where a sheet has one, is printed blank, because there is nowhere in a shared link to put a child’s name. See what we don’t collect.
