The ideal way to add text in labels designed in word processing
programs is through the use of “text boxes”. Text boxes are
easily resizable and are able to be moved independently of other
elements in your label.
You can add images and logos to your labels by “inserting” them
(typically done through your program’s menu bar:
Insert > Image > From File)
or by copying and pasting them in.
We find that using PNG images produces the highest quality
results, though most image file types are supported.
Text boxes can also be used to create borders. In the text box
options you can usually add a “stroke” or border to the text box and
adjust the thickness, style, etc.
You can add industrial symbols
(hazard pictograms, warning
symbols, NFPA symbols, etc.)
to your labels the same way as you
would add other images. We include hundreds of free symbols
in the LabelTac
®
‘Symbols’ folder.

Arrows for marking directions or for use with pipe marking labels
can also be found in the LabelTac
®
‘Symbols’ folder in the ‘Arrows’
sub-folder. You can also insert or paste your own arrows in most
image formats into your label.
