How do I design my own label?

To begin with, you need to create a custom label size in your operating system. This will ensure that the label size is available as a paper size when you go to print it. Please refer to the instructional videos below for more information on how to complete this process:

Option #1 - BarTender UltraLite Edition (Windows Only):

Our most recommended method for creating personalized labels is through BarTender UltraLite. This software enables you to create, design, and print labels, including product labels featuring a unique serial number, name tags, product logos, and more.

- When installing the program, please select BarTender Ultralite Edition. UltraLite is available for free. Selecting other versions during setup initiates a trial, after which a subscription fee applies.


You do NOT use this software to create/print a shipping label. Shipping labels need to be obtained through a shipping platform such as UPS, FedEx, Shippo, PirateShip, or other shipping providers.
