Double sided badges

If you would like to make your badges double sided, then look for the heading called "Double Sided Badge" in the panel on the right hand side.

Click on the field underneath to generate the drop down menu where you will see the following options:

  • None - your badge will remain single-sided
  • Mirror - the badge will show the same design on both sides
  • Two labels - each side of the badge can be designed independently of the other; you will see an additional canvas to be able to design both sides.

Editing components

Once you have added in the components you would like, you can rearrange, align, and resize them. 

Simply click on the component you would like to edit to display the different options. 

The two blue buttons on the left hand side will allow you to rearrange the components. The first will Bring forward the component you have selected and the second will Send backwards. You can click these multiple times until the components display correctly.
