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.


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.
