When to use this: once per label stationery you own — match the template to the physical sheet, choose what prints, reuse it forever.
Before you start: measure your label sheet (label width × height, labels per row/ column, margins) or have its product code.
Steps
-
Labels → Templates → New.
- Step 1 — What is this label for? Choose Product Label (one code per product) or Batch Label (one code per batch, so it can carry batch-specific MRP/expiry).
- Step 2 — Choose a starting point:
- Product Label: Shelf Price Tag (name + MRP + barcode), Product Barcode (name + barcode only), or Blank.
- Batch Label: Batch Label (name + batch MRP + expiry + barcode), Price & Expiry (same, no barcode), or Blank.
Picking a starter (or Blank) drops you straight into the designer — there's no separate "configure" step first.
1 is Labels → Templates, 2 is Product Label — "shelf tag or product barcode — name, MRP, scan code" — and 3 is Batch Label, "price & expiry for a received batch of stock". The choice decides which variables and defaults you get, so pick it deliberately.
-
Set the size — a preset, or custom width × height, orientation, and (under Advanced) margins/DPI — to match your physical stationery. The current size shows in the toolbar, e.g. 50 × 30 mm.
-
Design — drag or tap the fields you want onto the canvas: product name, MRP, batch, expiry, barcode, your store name, and more. Rename the template, then Save.
- 1 — the template name and its pencil. The dot beside it means unsaved changes.
- 2 — Save. 3 — undo, redo and the grid toggle. 4 — the eye, which opens the preview (step 4).
- 5 — the label size and the canvas zoom.
- 6 — the label itself. Click an element to select it, then edit it under Properties.
- 7 — Insert adds things; Properties edits what is selected.
- 8 — Search Variable finds a field to drop in, Elements lists shapes and text, and Formulas builds reusable expressions from variables, text and functions — use one when a line needs more than a single field, such as a price and a unit together.
-
Preview one label before you commit — click the eye (4 above).
- 1 — Preview shows the label with sample data; Modify Preview lets you edit that sample, so you can check a long product name or a missing expiry.
- 2 — zoom and fit. 4 — the rendered label.
- 5 and 6 — the check panel. Ready to print. with a tick and No problems found for this item means it will print. If a barcode is invalid, the problem is listed here and Print / Save PDF (3) is disabled until you fix it.
-
Print one label before committing a box of stationery — Print / Save PDF (3) — then check alignment against the physical labels and that the barcode scans, before running your full batch (→ LBL-03).
Common problems
- Everything prints shifted — template dimensions don't match the stationery, or the printer dialog isn't at 100% scale (→ LBL-03 printer box). Browsers scale to fit by default, so set 100% scale and no margins for a true physical size.
- Print / Save PDF is greyed out — either the check panel is reporting a barcode error on this item, or your login doesn't carry the print permission.
