# Adding and formatting text

### Add a text box

1. Open your design in the editor.
2. Add a **Text** object from the toolbar.
3. Double-click or use the sidebar to edit the content.

### Font, size, and style

In the sidebar you can typically change:

- Font family
- Font size
- Bold, italic, and other style toggles
- Text color
- Shadow (when you want depth behind the text)

### Rich text (mixed formatting)

Some text boxes support **rich text**, so part of a line can be bold or a different size while the rest stays normal. Select the characters you want to change before applying a style.

### Product data inside text

You can insert product fields (title, price, SKU, and more) into text. See [Showing product data on labels](/en/article/dynamic-product-data-1efsqbg/).

When a field is empty for a product, that part of the text can appear blank on the printed label — that is expected when the data is missing.

### Tips for readable labels

- Keep body text large enough for the physical label size.
- Prefer high contrast (dark text on a light label).
- Check the preview with a real variant before a large print run.
