When you design your labels in Canva, the first thought most people have is that they need to download their designs and then upload them to label sheet manufacturer's software (if available) or manually insert them into PDF or Word templates.
Some manufacturers offer Canva templates for their products, but this still requires manually copying and pasting your design onto each label position, aligning them individually, and repeating the process for every label.
What many don’t know is that there’s actually a much faster and easier way: the Label Sheets Canva app. The app handles generating the label sheet printout for you - saving time and leaving you free to focus on creating the perfect label design!
Here are the few simple steps.
Start a Canva design with the same dimensions as your label, and complete your label design.
If you’re looking for functionality like mail merge to create name tags, address labels, or other personalized designs, Canva offers another app specifically designed for that: the Bulk Create app. It allows you to seamlessly merge data from a spreadsheet into your label designs, making it a great companion to the Label Sheets app.
When you’ve finished designing, click on the Apps icon in the far-left column of the screen. Search for apps using the keyword 'labels', select the Label Sheets app and install it.
The app supports printing on any label sheet brand and template code. Simply select the brand and template code of the label sheets you’ve already purchased.
Select the custom option if you need to create your own label template layout or custom label size. This is ideal for those who have purchased generic label sheets or are cutting their own labels from plain adhesive sheets.
To ensure flawless printout results, the app provides the following optional print settings:
• Apply vertical and horizontal offsets to correct centering issues caused by your printer.
• Add a bleeding area to ensure designs extend to the edge of each label.
• Change the page orientation, so you don’t have to design your label in a rotated position.
• Set the number of labels to print per page. If the number of Canva pages (label designs) exceeds the number of labels on a single sheet, the app will automatically generate multi-page printouts.
• Appy a cutting marker that helps cutting custom-size labels.
Once you select (export) the Canva design pages you want to print as labels, the app will generate and display the printout pages. You can then send them directly to your printer or save them as a PDF for future use.
