Create a label step by step​

To create a new label template, click Action (7) in the upper-right corner and select “New template.” You can then place any number of content objects such as image or text fields, placeholders, or shapes on the workspace.

Step 1 – Define dimensions​

Enter the label size in millimeters under (1). The minimum dimension is 9 mm, the maximum size is 500 mm.

Step 2 – Place, format, and adjust content objects​

Open the text tools (3), select dynamic text or a free text field, and position it on the workspace as well. Dynamic text fields are automatically populated with the corresponding database values when you print. If you have created custom fields, they are also available—except for the Checkbox type.

Format text, adjust style and alignment​

As soon as you click a text field, the editing menu appears. You can adjust font size, color, style (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough), and the font family. Alignment can be set to left, centered, or right.
