Staff ID Card Generator
Add a photo, designation, and employee ID to generate a staff identity card sized to true CR80 card dimensions — the same physical size as a bank card.
A staff ID card that prints at real card size
CR80 — the size that fits actual cardholders
The card renders and prints at true CR80 dimensions — 3.375 × 2.125 inches (85.6 × 54 mm), the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard used by bank cards, PVC card printers, and every lanyard cardholder sold. Print-to-PDF produces a page sized exactly to the card (via a dedicated print page size), so a card-printer or a print shop can use the PDF directly instead of scaling a random rectangle.
Staff cards differ from student cards in what they identify: designation and department replace class and roll number, and the employee ID ties the card to the service record.
What belongs on a staff card
Name, photo, designation, department, employee ID, blood group (an emergency-response convention on Indian ID cards), and the validity session. Visitor-facing staff — front office, transport, security — benefit most from visible ID; several state school-safety guidelines expect staff to carry institutional identification on premises.
Print on PVC via a card printer for durability, or on thick photo paper and laminate — the CR80 sizing works for both routes.
Frequently asked questions
What size does the staff ID card print at?
True CR80 / ISO 7810 ID-1: 3.375 × 2.125 inches (85.6 × 54 mm) — the standard card size. The print output uses a dedicated page sized to the card, so the PDF can go straight to a PVC card printer or print shop without manual scaling.
What details should a staff ID card show?
The institution name, staff member's photo and name, designation (e.g. PGT Physics), department, employee ID, blood group, an emergency contact, and the validity period, with the authorised signatory line. This generator covers all of these; designation and name are required fields.
Why include the blood group on an ID card?
It is the established emergency-response convention on Indian institutional ID cards — in a medical emergency, the card is the fastest source of the wearer's blood group. It is optional here; leave it unselected to omit the line.
How should the card be printed for durability?
Best: export the print dialog's PDF and run it on a PVC card printer (the CR80 sizing matches exactly). Practical alternative: print on 300gsm photo paper, cut to the card outline, and laminate. Both start from the same Save-as-PDF output.
Is there a matching card for students?
Yes — the Student ID Card Generator uses the same CR80 dimensions and visual style with class, roll number, and guardian contact instead of designation and employee ID, so a school's student and staff cards look like one system.
