How to Make an Avery 5383 Name Badge

Colleges and universities use name badges so that prospective students can introduce themselves to each other during campus open house events. Customized name badges allow colleagues who work in different divisions and departments within the same company to communicate on a first name basis during networking events. The badges are easy to create. If you insert the badges inside a plastic badge covering, you can add an increased professional touch to the Avery 5383 badge using Microsoft Word.
