Name Labels

Arlo allows you to create name labels for attendees to wear at an event. You can create the label design using Microsoft Word which enables you to customise the layout, fonts and colours, add images, and create designs for an extensive range of formats and label types.

The following instructions describe how to: 

• Print name labels from the event page (if you have only one event, e.g.).
• Print name labels from the event list (ideal for when you want to print name labels for multiple events).
• Create label templates.
