Designing Labels
Mastering the label editor features
Label Editor Introduction
The Label Editor is the heart of SheetsToLabels. It provides a familiar, drag-and-drop interface similar to tools like Canva, but optimized for data-driven precision.
Our WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor allows you to design complex labels with ease.
The Canvas
The white area represents a single label. Its size is determined by your Page Settings.
- Zoom: Use the zoom controls or scroll wheel to zoom in/out.
- Grid: Enable grid lines to help with alignment.
Elements
Text
Add text blocks for static info (e.g., "From:") or dynamic info (e.g., {{Sender Name}}).
- Formatting: Change font family, size, weight, color, and alignment.
- Auto-Fit: Enable "Shrink to fit" to automatically reduce font size if the text content is too long for the box.
Images
- Static: Upload a company logo or background image.
- Dynamic: Bind to a URL column in your data for variable images.
Barcodes
Generate industry-standard barcodes.
- Types: Code 128, Code 39, EAN-13, UPC-A.
- Data Binding: Link the barcode value to a SKU or ID column.
QR Codes
Generate QR codes for URLs, contact info (vCard), or plain text.
- High Error Correction: Useful if you plan to add a logo overlay or if the code might get damaged.
Layout Tools
- Align: Select multiple objects and align them to the left, center, or top.
- Distribute: Evenly space multiple objects.
- Layers: Send objects to back or bring to front to create overlapping designs.
Saving Designs
Don't forget to Save your design!
- Templates: Save as a template to reuse the layout with different data files later.
- Projects: Save as a project to keep the data and design together.
