Vertical badges on the same sheet

The insert is 3 × 4 in either way round. Choose the portrait size and a portrait template for vertical lanyard holders: the PDF turns each badge a quarter turn on the sheet, so it prints in the same 6 positions and reads upright once it is torn out.

How to print on 5392-compatible sheets

Open the layout. Use “Open this sheet in the editor” above, or pick “Avery 5392 insert, landscape (4 × 3 in)” under Paper and badge size.
Bring your names. Import an Excel or CSV file or paste rows (how the import works), then pick a template.
Review the names the editor flags as too long, then check the proof.
Download the PDF and open it in your PDF viewer.
Print at 100%. Choose Actual size (or 100%), turn off Fit to page, and set the paper type to card or heavyweight paper.
Test on plain paper first. Print page 1, or the printer test page from the export screen, on plain paper. Lay it over a real sheet and hold both up to the light. Every badge should sit inside its insert.

Partly used sheets and alignment

Partly used sheet? Choose the first empty position in the export settings and the PDF starts there. Later sheets start at position 1. Positions run left to right, top to bottom, as numbered in the diagram.

Everything off by the same amount? Your printer feeds the paper a little off. The printer nudge moves the whole page by a millimeter or two in any direction. It shifts, it never scales, so the badges stay exactly 3 × 4 in.

Worse toward the edges? The PDF was scaled. Print again at Actual size with Fit to page turned off.

Using Word or Google Docs instead?

In Word you can use the built-in Avery 5392 label option with a mail merge to pull names from a spreadsheet. We don’t provide a .docx file. Our mail merge guide covers each step, or import the list here and skip the merge: names are fitted and flagged for you, and roles and QR codes come from your columns.
