IDC templates can have six types of objects that you can customize for the front and the back of the card, depending on the design. Some designs might not have barcodes or images. Click on the color to open the Color Picker and choose your color. You can also copy/paste Hex Color Code, for example: FF8000 for orange.
Fields
- Background Image – Upload a background image to any template. A background image must be the recommended upload size or more significant for excellent printing results. We recommend PNG as a file type; PNG supports transparency and results in better-looking prints. File size may not exceed 2 MB.
- Logo – IDC will use your organization logo by default that you’ve set in Profile / Organization, but you can always change it for each project. Click on Choose File and choose a logo on your computer. A logo must be the recommended upload size or more significant for excellent printing results. We recommend PNG as a file type; PNG supports transparency and results in better-looking prints. File size may not exceed 2 MB.
- Static Text – Text is the static text that stays the same on all cards. For Memo Text, you can turn on “Allow HTML” and use HTML code in the textarea. You can also use shortcodes here.
- Dynamic Text – This is the text that changes depending on the value set in Producer Card Information Example: First Name will print “Steve”. The dynamic text will be hidden on the card if you select “Empty” from the pull-down menu.
- Barcode – It will print a barcode depending on the symbology you choose and the field to be encoded. Ensure the proper symbology is selected, as invalid data can generate an error. Example: having letters in a barcode that accepts only numbers.
- Image – Select an image to replace the one in the template.
Allow HTML
List of HTML codes supported by IDC in Static Text when Allow HTML is checked. HTML tag must be followed by its closing tag. Note that the font Helvetica is set by default when using the Allow HTML. When Allow HTML is checked, the “Fit to cell” feature is disabled, so text size will not be adjusted to the cell space. You can use the tag style and add CSS to each tag. You can also insert Shortcodes with the HTML.
Remove the space after the < and before the >.
- The < p > < /p > tag defines a paragraph
- The < br > tag inserts a single line break.
- The < strong > < /strong > or < b > < /b > tag specifies bold text.
- The < i > < /i > tag specifies italic text.
- The < em > < /em > tag is used to define emphasized text.
- The < sup > < /sup > tag defines superscript text.
- The < ul > < /ul > tag defines an unordered (bulleted) list.
- The < ol > < /ol > tag defines an ordered (1, 2, 3, …) list.
- The < li > < /li > tag defines a list item.
- The < div > < /div > tag defines a division or a section in an HTML document.
- The < span > < /span > tag is an inline container used to mark up a part of a text or document.
Example with CSS: < span style=”font-family: arial; text-align: center; color:#579ad3; font-size: 38px; font-weight: bold;” >some text< /span >
- The < style > < /stype > attribute is used to add CSS styles to an element, such as color, font, size, and more using class.
- The < font > tag defines the font face, size, color, or CSS style of the text.
Example: < font face=”times” size=”25″ color=”blue” >some text< /font >
Don’t forget, when using an HTML tag, you need to close it with a / Ex: <b>This is a Test</b>
