What it is

A school ID card identifies a student at the gate, on the bus and on trips. The front usually shows the school name and logo, the student's photo and name, class, admission number, date of birth and blood group, with the principal's signature. The back carries the parent's name and phone, the address, the bus route, and where to return the card if it is found. This maker prints both sides at the standard card size of 54 × 86 mm, the size of a bank card.

How it works

  1. Enter the school name, address and phone, and add the logo.
  2. Fill in the student's details and pick a photo.
  3. Check both sides in the preview.
  4. Print at 100% scale (not "fit to page") so the card comes out at real size.

Who it's for

  • Schools that need a few replacement cards
  • Tuition centres and coaching classes
  • Offices testing a design before ordering PVC cards

Questions schools ask

What size is a school ID card?

Most school ID cards use the CR80 size, 54 × 86 mm (about 2.1 × 3.4 inches), the same as a bank card. This maker prints at that size when you print at 100% scale.

What should a student ID card include?

The school name and logo, the student's photo and name, class and section, admission number, date of birth, blood group, the parent's phone number, the session, and the principal's signature. Many schools add the bus route and a return address on the back.

Is my students' photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The photo is resized in your browser to fit the card and is never sent to a server. It is not saved either, so each new student starts without a photo.

How do I print ID cards at the right size?

In the print window, set the scale to 100% or "actual size", not "fit to page". Print on thick paper or card sheets, then cut along the border, or laminate them.

Can a school print ID cards for a whole class at once?

Not with this free tool, which makes one card at a time. Chalkbell prints ID cards in batches from the student records, with each student's photo and a barcode of the admission number.
