How To Format Your Label Canvas
Maestro Label Designer makes it easy to design the perfect label. Here are instructions for rotating your canvas, adding a background color, and enabling the on-screen ruler/grid.
How to Rotate Your Canvas

With your label template open, hover over "View" in the blue navigation bar then click the toggle under "Rotate Label View."
Note: This feature is only viewable on-screen. It will not affect the way you load your label sheets into the printer or the orientation of your designs during printing.
How to Add A Background Color
Note: Your background color will not extend past the border of your label on-screen, but Maestro Label Designer will automatically extend it to your bleed-line during printing. Learn more about bleeds in Maestro Label Designer.
