 Create a Library Patron Cum Institute ID Card in Koha 

Size of Card
Generally, we use the most popular Identity card size 86*54mm. This is the same size as an Aadhar card, PAN card, or Voter ID card. We will use the same but will keep the design vertically instead of horizontally


1st we need to design a header for the patron card. You can copy the image of the header from your institute's website. (Preferably remove the background of the image)

Header Image for Front Side

Remember Header’s width and length should be suitable for your ID card otherwise, it will not look good. If the header image of your institution’s website is not suitable (after resizing) for your identity card then it is recommended that you should design it yourself. Canva is a good website to provide the tools to design header images

Now prepare the backside image for the ID card E.x: Instructions. 
Patrons' card instructions (prepare Image) like
  1. This ID card is not transferable.
  2. In case of loss of this ID card, a fine of Rs. 100/- will be charged.
  3. If found please return to Libray Science info


Upload Images
