Printing ID cards that actually look right
How to produce A4 sheets of student ID cards on standard card stock, with QR codes that scan from any phone.
Choose your card stock
EduNex prints 8 cards per A4 sheet on the default layout. Standard 85.6 × 54 mm cards fit the grid exactly. Pre-perforated A4 card sheets are the fastest option.
Set your printer correctly
In your printer dialog, set the paper to A4, scaling to 100%, and margins to none. Do not use "fit to page" — it will distort the QR codes.
Test with one class first
Print one class before printing the whole school. Check that QR codes scan from a phone, that names are not truncated, and that photos are legible at card size.
Replacing lost cards
Any student can be re-printed individually. The QR code is stable for the student, so old cards continue to work even after a replacement is printed.
