Label Design Considerations

Label Design Considerations

The following examples provide guidelines for designing labels for the printers, specifically for Gap Media, Black Bar Media, and Journal Media. The illustrations for each media type define recommended tolerances, keep-out zones, and safe printing zones designed to avoid any vertical registration issues during printing. Dimensions are determined based on product registration capabilities and Zebra-recommended media tolerances.
