How can name badges be printed? Which insert label matches which name badge?

Micro-perforated insert labels make labelling of name badges as easy as child’s play. With the free DURAPRINT® printing software, individual designs can be created, printed out and/or saved for later use in next to no time. For major events, names, photos, etc. can be transferred via the database function with only a few clicks to design templates and can subsequently be processed further.
