🖨️ How to Print Your Labels

  1. Download & Save – Once your label is ready, download and save it to your computer.

  2. Open the File – Use a printing program like Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Publisher.

  3. Set Up Your Page – Adjust the page size and orientation to match your label’s dimensions.

  4. Print Using a Label Printer – Use a label printer for best results.

💡 Pro Tip: The FDA has specific labeling requirements, including minimum font sizes, label dimensions, and content placement. Before printing, review these requirements to ensure compliance.

Which Printer Should I Use?

  • For Standard Paper Labels: Use a laser or inkjet printer with Avery or compatible label sheets.

  • For Waterproof Labels: Try thermal transfer label printers like the Zebra ZD420 for durable, smudge-free results.

  • For Direct-to-Package Printing: Some businesses use high-speed industrial label printers for on-demand printing.
