Using the built in designer, you can place data elements, text, graphics and images to create your own labels. Format your text, colours, borders, background graphics.
DEFINE RULES
Define rules by data element to control how content is rendered to fit your design layout and taste. Create several labels and specify rules for when they must be used.

MineralDesk will help you keep track of what labels have been printed and which ones have to be re-printed because the underlying data has changed.
