Guideline - for the correct printing of your label

To check the correct placement of your elements in the safe print area, base them on these areas:

  • Blue area : bleed allowance and safety margin to the edge
  • Yellow area : For the placement of text, images, logos, and graphics. Images and elements that extend to the edge of the label must completely cover the blue area.
  • Mandatory legal information : Nothing may be placed in this area. If necessary, move overlapping custom elements to the background.


Add text

  • You can insert custom text in different fonts and sizes.
  • Make sure that the text is easy to read and not too small.
  • You can customize the text color. However, please note that high-contrast colors are recommended for optimal readability.
  • Various tools are available for alignment and formatting. Hover over one of the tools to see a description of its function.


Grid (show and hide)
