Shapes
Use rectangles, circles, lines, ribbons, arrows, tag holes, and decorative shapes in label designs
Shapes help structure a label visually. They can act as backgrounds, dividers, badges, callouts, sale markers, color bands, and tag details.
Available Shapes
Label Designer supports these shape types:
| Shape | Useful for |
|---|---|
| Rectangle | Background blocks, color bands, bordered areas |
| Circle / Oval | Dots, seals, round badges, photo masks |
| Line | Dividers, underlines, cut guides |
| Triangle | Corner flags, warning markers, directional accents |
| Diamond | Sale badges, quality marks, inventory symbols |
| Starburst | Promotion labels, discount callouts, "new" markers |
| Arrow | Shelf labels, handling labels, directional cues |
| Ribbon | Price tags, award labels, collection labels |
| Tag hole | Hang tag designs and jewelry tags |
Add a Shape
- Open Label Designer.
- Switch to Design Label mode.
- Open the Design sidebar tab.

Shape Styling
Most shapes support:
- fill color
- border color
- border width
- opacity
- solid, dashed, or dotted stroke
- rotation
- layering above or below other elements
Rectangles also support rounded corners. Lines can be used horizontally or vertically.
Shape Patterns
Background Band
Use a rectangle behind text to create a header, footer, role band, or category strip. Send it behind the text layer.
Sale Badge
Use a starburst, diamond, or ribbon behind a short text template such as:
SALE
${{sale_price}}Hang Tag Detail
Use tag-hole near the top of a product tag or jewelry tag. Keep it away from essential text and barcode elements.
Warning or Status Marker
Use a triangle or color dot for status labels, asset tags, warehouse labels, or classroom labels.
Printing Tips
- Keep shapes inside the safe area if label stock may shift slightly.
- Use high contrast when text sits on top of a shape.
- Avoid placing important text too close to a tag hole, edge, or cut guide.
- Preview the full sheet before export, not just one label.
