Drawing Rough Sketches
After you decide what information you want to print, sketch
how you want the information to appear on the label. Note
any areas that are preprinted on the label, such as a logo.
As soon as you know what information to include on the
label, and you have a rough sketch, you can use a supply
layout grid to help you layout and size your label. If you do
not want to use a grid, go to “Considering Field Types” to
choose what information you want on your label.
Using Supply Layout Grids
A supply layout grid contains measurement markers. These markers help
you accurately position information on your label.
Decide whether you want to design formats using English, Metric, or Dot
measurements. Choose from the following grids:
¨ English
The English grid is measured in 1/100
inches.
¨ Metric
The Metric grid is measured in 1/10
millimeters (mm).
¨
Graphic
The printer uses dots to print images on
a label. The printhead has 203 dots per
inch (DPI).
If you want to use the supply layout grids, a
copy of each is in Appendix D, “Format
Design Tools.”
