β Best Practices
Photo Quality: Ensure student photos are clear, recent, and uniform (e.g., plain background, good lighting).
Annual Updates: Regenerate ID cards each academic year to update class information and photos.
Quality Materials: For physical cards, print on PVC card stock or high-quality ID card paper and laminate for durability and longevity.
Verify Information: Double-check student details (name, class, ID number) in the preview before bulk printing.
Secure Distribution: Have a clear process for issuing physical cards to students to prevent loss or misuse.
