  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 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.
