Print Layout For A4 Size Paper

We want to print out badges on a A4 paper. The names and pictures of participants will be pulled out from a web database to print on an already formatted A4 paper with fixed placeholders for the names and pictures.

The A4 layout is made upof 5 rows and 2 columns, each cell containing the badge info.

The question is how do I specify the measurements in css style sheet so that the output prints exactly to the placeholders. Just some general tips on how to handle this - unit of measurement, box model, distance from outer container.

You can use absolute lengths.

in: inches — 1in is equal to 2.54cm.

cm: centimeters

mm: millimeters

Ex:

.wrap {
  width: 20cm; 
}

more info about absolute lengths.

1em == 16px == 0.17in == 12pt == 1pc == 4.2mm == 0.42cm
