If you have multiple name tags, space them properly across your Corel/Illustrator work area and modify the text with the names you wish to print. You can use the included .SVG file or you can create your own shaped name tag and your own design and name.
Step 2: Print your name tags!
Use the recomended settings for Acrylic for the laser you are using.
