Sign, Badge & Nameplate Software for Batch Production
An office reorg means 200 new desk plates and badges, each with a different name and title. Etch Express builds the template once, pulls names from your list, and exports every sign ready to cut, print, or engrave.
Why name-driven sign orders pile up
Name-driven orders scale fast
Conferences, office moves, and new-hire batches arrive as long name-and-title lists that all need the same layout.
One template, hundreds of names
Badges, desk plates, and door signs share a design but differ only in the text - exactly the work that's painful to do by hand.
Mixed output, tight turnarounds
Some jobs print, some engrave, some cut on vinyl - and the event is Friday.
Staff list in, finished signs out
Load the staff or attendee list
Paste or upload the roster and Etch Express fills your template with every name and title automatically.
Build the sign template once
Design the badge or plate, mark name and title as variables, and preview the longest names so layouts never break.
Export for print, cut, or engrave
Generate batched, production-ready SVG and PDF sized to your blanks or sheets for your printer, cutter, or engraver.
Frequently asked questions
Can Etch Express make a batch of name badges from a list?
Yes. Upload your attendee or staff list, design one badge template with the name and title as variables, and export a print- or engrave-ready file for every badge at once.
Does it support ADA signage and desk nameplates?
Etch Express handles any name-and-title layout, including desk plates and door signs. You design the template to your blank size and batch-produce from your list.
Can I export files for my vinyl cutter or printer?
Yes - Etch Express exports vector SVG and PDF that import into common cutter and print workflows, sized to your sheet or blank dimensions.
How fast can I turn around a large badge order?
Once your template is built, a list of several hundred names exports as a single batch in minutes instead of being typed one badge at a time.
