Importing Data in NPG Cloud

The Import Data feature in NamePrint Graphics Cloud (NPG Cloud) allows you to quickly populate badge templates using Excel spreadsheets (*.csv or *.xlsx). This is especially useful when creating multiple badges at once.

Getting your file set up correctly is key to a smooth import process.

Step-by-step Guide to Importing Data on NPG Cloud

1. Prepare Your Spreadsheet

Before importing, create your Excel file with the correct layout.

Each column header must match the corresponding text field in your badge template. For example, if your template includes First Name, Last Name, and Title, your spreadsheet must use those exact column headings.

2. Upload Your Spreadsheet

In NPG Cloud, navigate to the Import Data button and upload your Excel file.

3. Select and Import Names

Click Select to preview and populate the data into the template fields.

After populating all columns, click Import to load all records into the template.

4. Print Your Badges

Once your data has been imported, go to the Print menu to begin printing.

Be sure to select the option to start printing at the first unused insert to avoid wasting materials.

Important Printing Setup Tips

To ensure proper alignment and print quality:

1. Set your print scale to 100% or Actual Size (do not use the “Fit to Page” setting, as it can distort the layout).
2. Print a test page on blank paper before using badge inserts.
3. Place a blank insert sheet over your test print to confirm alignment of names, titles, and logos.

Please note: Print settings must be adjusted each time you print, as they are controlled by your browser (such as Chrome or Edge), not the NPG Cloud application.
