| • | Paper Format |
You can select a wide variety of badge sizes or specify a custom badge size. To access the Paper Format, click on the Badge Layout tab in the top menu. You can now see the Badge Format frame in the Paper Format frame. We are continuously adding new Paper Formats, and you can upgrade your Paper Format file using the IDpack Update function. To see the version of the Paper Format you are using, simply click

About IDpack, and you can see: Paper Format vx.x.x
| • | To select a badge size: |
| 1. | First select a Paper size in the pull-down menu located in the Paper Format frame. You will see the badge format change depending on the paper size you have selected. For Avery Photo ID, please select 4 x 6 in. in the pull-down menu. |
| 2. | Select a format in the Badge Format list. You will see the Badge Information frame on the right with details of the badge. |
| 3. | You must also configure the page orientation to match the badge orientation. |
| 4. | When you are done, click OK. |
| 5. | You can now see that the workspace has a new badge format. You can now start designing your badge. |
| • | To create a custom badge: see Create or Modify a paper format. |
| • | Page orientation: |
By default, page orientation for the printer in IDpack Element is always portrait. Certain paper layouts are such that if you want to design a badge with a landscape layout, you will have to choose the portrait page orientation when printing and vice versa. However, you will see the difference in the workspace.
| • | Enable the Mirror Badge |
This option is only available with certain badge formats using a 4 x 6 in. paper format: Avery 2943, 2947,2948, 2949 and Aptika 4643. When checking this option, IDpack Producer will print a mirror image of the badge, so when you print the badge and fold the paper in half, you will get the same badge on both sides.
= 
on both sides of the paper
Tip
| 1. | To obtain a badge printed on both sides, you must have a paper format with at least 2 cards across and an even number (2, 4, 6...) of cards overall, so the cards can be folded. Create a custom format by following the instructions above, then double the width of the badge and reduce the number across by half. |
| 2. | The Avery® Business Card size is the most commonly used format, so we have already made it available as a double-sided badge in the Badge Format list. Simply select Avery 5371 Double in the list. |
Then when you design the badge, half of the workspace you see will be the other side of the badge. When you print the badge, fold it in two and laminate it like that. You will then have a badge with both sides printed.
