I think the small names is a reaction to long names, where you pick a font size that will accommodate the longest name you have. A standard mail merge doesn't make it easy to change the font size for the name on every badge so it fills the whole width. But then Bob Smith only takes up a third of the width of the badge.
I'm not sure what the easy solution is. Write your own badge printing software? Fancy scripted mail merges?
- Alex3917 16y agoThere are standard name tag software packages already scale the font size for you automatically, e.g. the application that Avery makes for use with their badges. I'm pretty sure we did the Swagapalooza name tags with that software, and they came out looking reasonably good: http://www.quitecurious.com/swagapalooza/ http://www.quitecurious.com/swagapalooza/
