Create a Label

Labels can be customized by adding custom label variables and only selecting the variables you want to be displayed on your labels. When creating a label, the available label variables will depend on the label category selected. 

Creating label templates beforehand simplifies the label-creating process by eliminating the need to enter label dimensions each time a label is created.

  7. Select the Variables to display on the label by checking the box of each variable to display. 

    If a variable's corresponding Visible box is checked, that variable will be visible on the label. To display all variables on the label, check the All Variables box.  Rearrange variables by dragging and dropping them into your preferred position.  Resize QR and Bar Codes by dragging the corners.

    *Please be aware that the information shown on the label preview is "test data" pulled from the Test Data column. The actual information displayed on the label will depend on the specific product(s) for which the label is being generated.
