Step 2: Choose a Label Template

Select the layout that matches your label sheets. Tape Label Studio supports many popular formats (HERMA, Avery, NetC, etc.).

Step 3: Choose Alignment

Pick how your barcode, text, and logos are aligned on the label. A live preview helps you make the right choice.

Step 4: Pick a Color Style

Choose a color scheme for your labels. Distinct palettes help identify tapes at a glance.

Step 5: Select a Border Style

Define the label edges with crop marks, solid borders, or none at all.

Step 6: Adjust Advanced Options (Optional)

Tweak settings like barcode stretching, anti-aliasing, and checksum characters if needed.

Step 7: Define Your Label Range

Set the first label ID, number of labels, and media type. TLS will automatically generate all needed codes. You can choose which characters are fixed and which are variable by using the play and pause buttons.

Step 8: Print or Export

The final sheet preview updates live. You can now print the labels directly or export to PDF for printing later.

That’s it! In just a few minutes, you’re ready to produce professional-grade LTO labels for a fraction of the cost of pre-printed ones.
