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.
