STOCK DESIGNS
The quickest and easiest way to get started with ID cards is to use one of our stock designs. We offer two themes in a range of colors. You will find information about these designs on both the Digital Press and PVC pages.
STUDIO BACKGROUND DESIGNS
Our studio background ID card templates are a hybrid of the studio and H&H doing the design work together. We have several pre-made templates that take care of the image and text styling and placement. You can design your own backgrounds to compliment each template. This hybrid workflow is beneficial because it eliminates the setup time needed for custom ID cards but still allows you to personalize the style and color scheme of the cards and even add things like mascots or other graphics schools may request.
CUSTOM DESIGN
Whether you prefer full creative control, or need to provide the school a more dynamic design, you can have your own ID card design. We have design guides to match the ID card type you select Or let our Design Center custom design this product for you!

An alternative is to use our hhschools software temporary ID card feature. Under the Project Setup and Reports menu go to the “Print Subject & Package Bar Codes” dropdown list. You’ll see a report “Temporary Student ID Cards – Avery Stock 5371” that will allow you to print temporary ID cards.
hhschools formats the report for the Avery 5371 business card stock. Use this perforated stock to break the cards apart by hand. Or check “Stack sort” and bring your stack of sheets to a local printer to have them stack cut for a minimal fee.
