Print your own labels
on TownStix® A4-File-5 template

How to fill in the Layout Settings

The following settings will help you adjust the layout of labels on the TownStix® A4-File-5 template to ensure a printout that meets your needs and compensates for potential alignment issues specific to your inkjet or laser printer.
These same settings apply whether you're uploading label design files from your computer (using the upload button above) or printing TownStix® A4-File-5 labels using the Hlabels.com Label Sheets App for Canva, the Adobe Express Add-on, or the Google Docs™ and Sheets™ Add-on.
Find more info about each setting below.

• Labels to skip
  This setting is useful if you are reusing a label sheet where you have already printed and peeled off a number of labels, and now want to print on the remaining ones - helping you avoid wasting the entire sheet. Because TownStix® A4-File-5 template contains 5 labels, the maximum possible value for this field is 4. Set this field to the number of labels that have already been used and need to be skipped in this printout.
• Labels to print
  The number of labels that will be printed depends on the value you set in this field, as well as the number of label images you upload. If the value you set here is smaller than the number of uploaded images, it will be ignored, and the printout will include at least one label for each uploaded image. If the first label sheet runs out of available labels, the remaining images will be printed on additional sheets (second, third, and so on).
• Page orientation
  If you want your label images to be inserted vertically (i.e., rotated -90 degrees) into each label, there's no need to rotate them manually before uploading. Just set this field to "Landscape", and the system will automatically rotate them and generate the label sheet printout accordingly.
  
• Bleed area
  When your label background isn't white, slight misalignments during printing can cause a thin white edge to appear along one or more sides. A simple and effective way to avoid this is to print the label image slightly larger than the label area, so the background extends beyond the label's actual edge. This method is called applying a bleed.
  If you notice white edges, select a bleed area between 1% and 5%, depending on how much coverage you need.
• Vertical offset
  Inkjet and laser printers are not always 100% precise when feeding paper vertically, which can result in labels being printed slightly higher or lower than their intended position on the sheet. This setting allows you to apply a vertical offset of 1 to 3 mm to compensate for misalignment caused by imperfect vertical feed.
• Horizontal offset
  When the paper sheet sits a little to the left or right in the tray, labels can print off-center. This setting lets you apply a horizontal offset of 1 to 3 mm to correct the alignment.
