We're the Perfect Print team. If you sell at craft fairs, flea markets, or pop-ups, the table is part of the pitch — and nothing undercuts a nice display faster than price tags that are all slightly different sizes. We hear from a lot of makers who print tags one at a time, end up with cards that don't match, and spend the morning trimming them by eye. The fix is to treat the tag as a fixed size and print a whole sheet of identical cards at once.
Why tags end up uneven
The usual culprit is printing each tag from a different document or screenshot, where nothing pins down the real dimensions. One came from a phone note, another from a design app at a different zoom, and the printer rescaled both to fit the page. The result is a pile of cards that are close but not equal — and on a market table, where tags sit side by side, even a small mismatch reads as messy. Cutting them out afterward without a guide makes it worse.
The solution is to decide one tag size and stick to it. Pick a real dimension — say 2 x 1.2 inches for a small swing tag, or 3.5 x 2 inches if you want a business-card-style card — and make every tag exactly that. When the size is fixed, the whole sheet comes out uniform and the cutting becomes a matter of following straight lines.
Lay out one sheet of identical tags
In Perfect Print you choose a letter sheet, drop in your tag design, and set its size in inches. Then place several copies across the page so a single sheet holds a dozen or more identical cards. Because each one is locked to the same real measurement, they're truly the same — not just roughly. You can set the size to the millimeter, which matters when you want tags to fit a specific hole-punch position or a card stand.
Print on cardstock at actual size (100%), never fit-to-page, so the tags come out at the dimensions you set. Then cut along the edges — a paper trimmer or a craft knife and ruler gives the cleanest result. One sheet of matched tags is far cheaper than ordering printed cards, and you can reprint more in minutes when a product sells through. If you change a price, you edit one design and run a fresh sheet; everything stays consistent.
Reuse the layout for your whole stall
Once you have a tag size that works, it becomes a template for the rest of your signage — small product cards, care instructions, mini name cards, a folded tent sign. Keeping them all to a deliberate set of sizes makes the table look designed rather than thrown together. The underlying habit is the same one that makes business cards come out right: choose the real dimensions first, lay multiples on the sheet, and print at 100% so what you cut matches what you planned.

Why do my price tags come out different sizes?
Usually because each one is printed from a different document with no fixed dimensions, and the printer rescales to fit the page. Set one real size in Perfect Print and print at 100% so every tag matches.
What size should a price tag be?
A small swing tag around 2 x 1.2 inches works for most goods, and a 3.5 x 2 inch card suits a sturdier price card. Pick a size that fits your products and stand, then reuse it for every tag.
How many tags fit on one sheet?
With small tags you can usually fit a dozen or more identical cards on a letter sheet. Because they all share one real size, the whole sheet prints uniform and you just cut along the edges.
What paper works best for price tags?
Cardstock holds up better than plain paper and cuts cleanly. Print at actual size (100%) on the cardstock, then trim with a paper cutter or a ruler and craft knife for straight edges.
