ID Learning Center: How To Make ID - Basic Tutorial - 1-Up Sheets

This tutorial will show you how to use our products to create professional IDs at a very reasonable cost with no expensive equipment to buy. This tutorial shows how easy it is to go about making a Credit Card Size ID using 1-Up Teslin® Paper and a Butterfly Pouch.

Basic Tutorial - Video

What You'll Need

We have created an Example ID and 1-Up layout template which you are free to use and modify for your own personal use. You can download them from the ID Template Downloads section of the Learning Center. We will be using this Example ID and Layout template during the tutorial for reference.

Steps

1. First you will want to print out your ID (Printer Settings).

Printing on our 1-Up sheets couldn't be any easier. The animated image above shows the 1-Up sheet with both the front and back printed.

2. Next you simply need to punch the ID card out of the perforated Teslin® sheet.

Because 1-Up sheets don't have to be subjected to as much abuse as 8-Up sheets the ID card should pop out of the sheet with ease. Now would be a good time to turn your laminator on to allow it to heat up.

3. Put the Teslin® inside the pouch and laminate it.

Align the Teslin® insert inside the butterfly pouch and close it. Hold the Teslin® insert in place in the pouch and place this inside the carrier (if your laminator requires one) and once again hold everything in place. If your laminator has a "run" switch, turn that on to start the feed wheels turning. Now, feed the the carrier/pouch in to the laminator, folded side first. Let the laminator take it in and wait for it to come out the other side.

Congratulations, you've made your first ID card!
