# Editing Label Formats

If your labels aren't aligning correctly on the printed sheet, you can fine-tune the measurements for any label format without creating a new one from scratch.

## How to edit label formats

1. Click **Administration** in the top navigation bar.
2. Click **Label Formats** from the tile grid.
3. Find the format you want to adjust and click **Edit** on that row.
4. Update any of the fields (see the field reference below).
5. Click **Save**.

## Field reference list

| Field | What it controls |
| --- | --- |
| **Label format name** | The name shown in the Format dropdown when producing labels. |
| **Paper size** | The size of the sheet you're printing on (e.g. A4, Letter, Legal). |
| **Number of columns per page** | How many labels run across the sheet. |
| **Number of rows per page** | How many rows of labels are on the sheet. |
| **Size units** | The unit of measurement for all size and margin fields (mm, cm, or in). |
| **Left margin on page** | Distance from the left edge of the paper to the first column of labels. |
| **Top margin on page** | Distance from the top edge of the paper to the first row of labels. |
| **Left margin to label** | Horizontal gap between adjacent labels in the same row. Enter 0 if labels touch side by side. |
| **Top margin to label** | Vertical gap between adjacent label rows. Enter 0 if labels touch top to bottom. |
| **Label width** | The width of a single label. |
| **Label height** | The height of a single label. |

Tip:

Adjust one setting at a time. Start with the four settings that control where labels appear on the page: Left margin, Top margin, Label width, and Label height. Get these right first, then fine-tune Left margin to label and Top margin to label to adjust spacing between labels. See [More Info on Label Formats](/v1/docs/more-info-on-label-formats) for a full testing strategy.

Use exact measurements. Copy dimensions directly from your label packaging. Even a 0.1 mm difference can cause labels to shift across a full page of rows.
