Create a New Label Layout

DAZzle includes several defined label layouts that you should be able to use as-is.

If you have a label that is a non-standard size, you can create a new label layout that is based on any of the defined label layouts that are included with DAZzle. This allows for customization of characteristics, such as size and margins. When you create a new label layout, the new label layout becomes a new permanent part of the list, but you can still select the other layouts.

Note: It is recommended that when you require custom layouts that you create new label layouts—which the following Steps describe—rather than modify existing layouts.
Tip! To help you gather the information that you need to consider, see About Label Setup Options.

Steps

From the Design tab, select File > New Layout.
From the Design tab, select Layout > Media.
In the Media dialog box, select the Label option.
From the list that is to the right of the selected media, select the label that is most similar to the new label that you want to create or click the New button.
In the Label Setup Options dialog box, enter a new, unique name to identify your new label.
Specify your new settings for Columns, Rows, Margins (for each label), Perforation, Split Labels, and Display label with rounded corners.
- Most label settings are in inches.
- Labels have several settings. For more information, see About Label Setup Options.
Click OK.

In the Media dialog box, click OK.

On the Design tab, DAZzle displays your layout with the media that corresponds to the selected label. If you specified sheet or continuous labels, DAZzle displays a single label to use for your design. All elements are replicated on each label that you print. Use the Print Preview feature to see how DAZzle prints each sheet.
- Tip! You can automate the selection of layouts. For more information, see About Recommended Layout Selection and Manage Recommended Layout Settings.
