As you sketch your design, you should:
♦
Identify the items you want on the label,
such as a price and bar code.
♦
Select a label size.
♦
Determine the direction of printing.
♦
Place items on the label roughly where
you would like them to appear in the
finished design.
♦
Mark 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.
