After you decide what information you want to print,
sketch how you want the information to appear on the
label. Note 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. If you do not want to use a grid, go to
“Considering Field Types” to choose what information
you want on your label.

A supply layout grid contains measurement markers. These markers help
you accurately position information on your label.
Decide whether you want to design
formats using English, Metric, or Dot
measurements. Choose from the
following grids:
¨ English
The English grid is measured in
1/100 inches.
¨ Metric
The Metric grid is measured in 1/10
millimeters (mm).
¨ Graphic
The printer uses dots to print images
on a label. The printhead has 203
dots per inch (dpi).
If you want to use the supply layout
grids, a copy of each is in Appendix
D, “Format Design Tools.”
