I played around with the BusinessCard[1] example. Thats close to what i need, but all cards are cloned there. How can i gain the same with 2x4 or 2x5 different cards on one side?

Document A (badges.tex) creates badges: \definepapersize [badge] [width=8.5cm,height=5cm] \setuppapersize [badge][badge] \setuplayout [backspace=1cm,width=middle,topspace=1cm,height=middle, header=0pt,headerdistance=0pt,footer=0pt,footerdistance=0pt] \setuppagenumbering [location=] And then document B puts them together into table: \setuppapersize [A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuplayout [backspace=2cm,width=25.5cm,topspace=2cm,header=0pt,headerdistance=0pt,height=20cm] \setuppagenumbering [location=] \def\b#1{\bTD\externalfigure[badges.pdf][page=#1]\eTD} \starttext \setupTABLE[strut=no,offset=0pt,split=yes] \setupTABLE[c][each][width=8.5cm,height=5cm] \bTABLE \bTR\b{1}\b{2}\b{3}\eTR \bTR\b{4}\b{5}\b{6}\eTR \bTR\b{7}\b{8}\b{9}\eTR % to get multiple badges of the same kind \bTR\b{62}\b{62}\b{62}\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext But of course you may just as well do both steps at the same time.
