A membership card is one designed item per member: the same small layout, printed as many times as you have members, with a different name, number and renewal date on each. Google Slides suits it because the card is drawn once at its exact size and nothing shifts when a longer name comes along — the design holds and the data fills it.

Generate the cycle, not the card

Membership lists move constantly, so treat printing as a filtered run rather than a project. Each cycle, select the members who joined or renewed since last time and generate their cards as one PDF. Because these are branded documents and not verifiable credentials — no verification page, no wallet pass, no view tracking — the database stays the authority on who is actually a member, and the card simply shows what was true when it was printed. Keep tier on the record so the colour band and benefits text follow it automatically.

Common questions, answered

Is the card a verifiable credential? +
No. This produces a branded card document — a slide and a print-ready PDF. There is no verification page, no Open Badges or digital wallet pass, and no analytics on who opened it. Membership status is whatever your database says; the card is a printed rendering of that record on the day it was generated.
Can I print a batch for new and renewing members? +
Yes, and that is the usual pattern. Filter the membership list to those who joined or renewed since the last run and one run produces a card per member, exported as a single PDF for the printer. Nobody is laying out cards individually.
Can I use my own card design? +
Yes. Build the master in Google Slides at your card size — Slides accepts a custom page size, so set it to the flat card — place the front and back faces, mark the name, number, tier and dates as placeholders, and generate against that.
Where do member numbers and renewal dates come from? +
From your membership records in Airtable, Google Sheets, a SQL database, a CSV upload or a REST API. The template prints them rather than assigning them, so the number on the card and the number in your system cannot drift apart.
