How do I make name badges in Google Docs?

Reviewed by the Best Name Badge production team · Updated September 27, 2026How we check facts

Short answer

Google Docs has no built-in label tool, so insert a table sized to your badge (for example 2 columns by 4 rows for 3 x 4 inch inserts) and set the page margins to match the sheet. For a whole list, a label add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace can merge names from a Google Sheet.

How do I make name badges in Google Docs?

Step by step

  1. 1Measure one badge insert and the sheet's top and side margins.
  2. 2In Docs set File, Page setup margins to the sheet's margins.
  3. 3Insert a table with one cell per badge. Drag cell borders to the measured size, or right-click, Table properties, and type the column width and minimum row height.
  4. 4Remove the table borders if you do not want cut lines to print.
  5. 5Type names, center them, and use a bold sans serif at 20 point or more.
  6. 6Print a plain-paper test, check it against the sheet, then print.

For 20 names or more, keep the names in Google Sheets and use a label merge add-on so you are not retyping each cell.
