I cant find a thread on this, but what are you guys doing to make your wristband playcards an easier task.
Right now we make 60 copies of the playcard, get them laminated, cut all 60 out, staple an index card to the back of them, and finally the finished product.
I just have to believe there is a simpler process for this, PLEASE PM me or let me know what you do for the playcards. Also, if you have any specific equipment you need to purchase or something you have found as a valuable resource, please share or trade with me. Thanks guys.

print them on card stock so once they are laminate they are done.

One Idea is to print them on labels if the play card changes. You can get labels in different sizes. I used to do this with my defensive calls and just put a new label on top of the old one when it changed.

Creating these is very time consuming week to week. I wish there was an easier way.

I can change assignments on plays, reorder them, print them (72 position specific) cards, laminate them, and cut them out in 15 minutes by myself.
When I make a change on my excel playbook it automatically changes the assignment for each player's position wristband. When I want to renumber them, I just type in what play I want in what number cell and it automatically changes it for me.
I will print out 12 sheets (6 bands per card)on my LaserJet printer, and then roll them through a Xyron model 900 cool laminator. Then I will cut them out.
I can do it all in 10-15 minutes.
If I just need to change the left tackle's assignment on one play (or even more), I can do that and then just print out a left tackle band (there are 6 per page), roll it, and cut it out in 1-2 minutes.
Why are you stapling them?
The two big keys are that you can use cool lamination and it works fine, and that the edges don't have to be surrounded by a seal of lamination.

If they're laminated, why do you need the card stock or need put them on an index card? How stiff do you want these things?

Print them on regular paper. Then cut them out. Then laminate and trim them. This keeps sweat from running the print on the card. We write the date on the back that way they can't get mixed up.

Coach, I really think I can save you a lot of time. Print, cool laminate, cut once. We have done this for 5 years, and sweat has not messed them up. We also put the date on them in Excel. The date is on the band when it comes out of the printer. This will save you a lot of time not having to write on them and not having to pull them out of the wristband and flipping them over to check the date. |

I just saved the playcard in word and went through and changed it from week to week depending on what was up. I used 3 colors to distinguish between what card i wanted the play called off of. So I'd call Green 20 and it'd be play number 20 on the green card.
