As you sketch your design, you should:

♦Identify the items you want on the label, such as a price and bar code.

♦Select a label size.

♦Determine the direction of printing.

♦Place items on the label roughly where you would like them to appear in the finished design.

♦Mark any areas that are preprinted on the label, such as a logo.

As soon as you know what information to include on the label, and you have a rough sketch, you can use a supply layout grid to help you layout and size your label.
