Why did my label print smaller than it should?

Your print settings scaled it. Choose "Actual size" or 100% instead of "Fit to page" or "Shrink to fit". Our PDFs are already the exact size.

My label is bigger than the labels on my sheet. What now?

Pick a larger sheet, switch to the small package style if your package qualifies, or leave the ingredient statement off this label. We never shrink a label to fit, because Nutrition Facts type sizes have legal minimums.

Can I use a different brand of label sheets?

Yes, if the label size and layout match one of the sheets we list. Many brands sell the same sizes under their own numbers. Test on plain paper first.

Can a print shop print my labels?

Yes. Send them the vector PDF, or the SVG if they're placing it into a larger design, and ask them to print at 100% without scaling.

Either works. Just buy label sheets made for your type of printer.
