Remember to Line up Your Artwork Properly
Quite a number of individuals forget or fail to use the ruler tool that is often included within their illustration software. One of the most common design software is Adobe Photoshop. You should enable the ruler grids so that you will be able to line up the text, artwork and other important components that are vital to the design of your custom label. When this habit becomes second nature to you, your design will look professional every single time.

This important practice will help ensure that you print the proper size according to its dimensions.

While this benefit may sound trivial at first, you will see its true advantages when you need to deal with several designs at once.

Make Your Logo the Focal Point and Use CMYK Colors
It is pertinent that your logo is the center of attention in your custom label designs. Apart from featuring it in the center, you can also consider other alternatives such as featuring it near the top of your label design. You will also want get your family members or friends’ opinions to make sure it is visible enough to stand out from other images and text.
The standard color schemes for label printing are cyan, magenta, yellow and black, or simply just CMYK. Keep in mind to not mistake this by using RGB colors instead which are red, green and blue.
