After you decide what information you want to print, sketch how you want the information to appear on the label. Note 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. If you do not want to use a grid, go to “Considering Field Types” to choose what information you want on your label.

U s i n g S u p p l y L a y o u t G r i d s

A supply layout grid contains measurement markers. These markers help you accurately position information on your label.

Decide whether you want to design formats using English, Metric, or Dot measurements. Choose from the following grids:

English

The English grid is measured in 1/100 inches.

Metric

SupplyLayout (English)

2.0"Width

1.5"Width

1.2"Width

-Indicates no-printarea

The Metric grid is measured in 1/10 millimeters (mm).

Graphic

The printer uses dots to print images on a label. The printhead has 203 dots per inch (DPI).

If you want to use the supply layout grids, a copy of each is in Appendix D, “Format Design Tools.”
