3. Step-by-step: Insert names automatically
- Open Creativate and create your layout with the text object (e.g. a name tag)
- Activate “Lettering” , write a placeholder (e.g. [Name])
- Go to “Name Changer ”
- Select your list of names
- Assign the column headings to the placeholders in the embroidery layout
- Select a save location and the desired export formats (e.g. .vp3, .pes, .dst)
- Click on “Create” – the software automatically generates one file per name
4. Layout options and export
- The position, font and size of the placeholder remain the same for all files
- You can also add embroidery elements (e.g. frames, motifs, logos)
- Export formats: Depending on the machine type, different file formats are available
- The generated files are numbered or automatically contain the respective name in the file name
5. Common application examples
- Name labels for daycare, school or retirement home
- Shirts or vests for teams, clubs or events
- Patches for events, trade fairs or markets
- Serial production of gifts with personalized labeling
