Label & plaque templates
Imported DXF drawing · fixed dimensions and vector lettering. Material and quantity can be changed.
Replaces the current label layout. Wording, sizes, colours and holes remain editable.
Label, material & holes
Width and height set the shape size. Move holes inward if they cross an edge. Nesting uses the shape’s bounding box; common cuts apply to straight rectangular labels.
Custom colours
Added combinations appear in Material / colour and are remembered in this browser.
Select tape with holes, or choose No holes for tape only. Leave tape off and choose No holes for no fixing. Tape is recorded on proofs and job details.
Tips & measurements
Insets are measured from the edge to the hole centre. For one hole, X is measured from the left and Y from the top.
Text & fonts
Canvas tools
Rotate: click lettering or a symbol, then drag its blue handle. Hold Shift for 15° steps. Put a word or single letter in its own text block to rotate it independently.
Curved text uses one line. Radius 0 follows the label size; enter a radius to adjust the arc. Turn off individual line settings and stacked letters.
Tips & measurements
Type words normally, e.g. RIGHT RAMP UP. Each letter stays upright, with a blank row between words. All stacked letters use the main size. Auto fit scales the stack to fit the label.
Keeps a 1 mm gap beside left/right symbols. Each line stays centred in the remaining space.
Line sizes use mm. Leave a size blank to use the main font size. Auto fit reduces all lines together if needed.
Tips & measurements
Centre X is measured from the left edge. Centre Y is measured from the top edge; use half the label height for the middle. Each multiline block stays centred on these measurements.
Guides are preview-only. Positioned text keeps its centre. Enable Auto fit on a block to reduce its size when necessary.
Tips & measurements
Each corner has its own horizontal and vertical inset, measured from that corner’s edges. The centre block stays in the middle. Leave any box blank to omit it.
Tips & measurements
Text sizes in mm mean capital-letter height, measured using ABC. Lowercase letters are smaller; descenders and accents can extend beyond this height. Auto fit may reduce the final height; turn it off for an exact size.
About the default font
Nine fonts are included: Arial Narrow and Arial in Normal, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic, plus Arial Black. Arial Narrow Bold loads by default. Lettering is converted to curves for export.
Use Load font to choose another TTF or OTF font for this session. Reopening the app restores Arial Narrow Bold.
Decorative border
The border follows the label outline automatically. Adjust the label corner radius or individual corners and the border inset to change it.
Tips & measurements
Inset is measured to the outside of the border. Set border corner radius to 0 for square corners. The border engraves as a filled band; keep text and symbols clear of it.
Symbols & QR codes
For Standard text. Keeps a 1 mm gap beside left/right symbols and centres wording in the remaining space.
Tips & measurements
Size is the symbol’s maximum width or height. Centre X is from the left; centre Y is from the top. Keep symbols clear of text and holes.

Cut EngraveSVG exports exact vector lettering using your material’s saved cut and engrave colours. Default: red CUT / black ENGRAVE. DXF uses your saved layer names and indexed colours; set engraving fills in CorelDRAW.
Opening your file in CorelDRAW
Open or import the SVG, keeping its original size. Ungroup if needed, select the cutting outlines and engraving lettering by their export colours. Configure your speed and power presets in the laser software. For DXF import, choose millimetres and check one label’s width before processing. Label materials and colours are included in the production package; laser files use your saved Export layers rules.

Import label list
Set up your label design above, then use it for every imported row. Material, holes, font, text positions and symbols stay the same. Preview before adding up to 1000 labels to your batch.
Automatic numbering
Select the lines to number. Each line has its own sequence; other wording and line formatting stay as designed.
Map each text field to a column. Unmapped fields keep your current wording. Blank mapped cells clear that field. For leading zeros in Excel, format cells as Text or use a number format such as 000.

PRODUCTION LAYOUT
Batch & sheet nesting
Add different labels from the editor above, then nest them on your material sheets. Different materials, colours and thicknesses automatically use separate sheets.
Drag the centre divider to resize the panels. Drag the bottom-right corner of the label list to make it taller. Double-click the divider for equal halves.
One of each DXF · uses current sheet settings · adds to this batch. ZIPs without material settings use the current material.
Your batch is empty.
X fills across rows; Y fills down columns. These modes follow batch order. Label rotation is controlled separately below.
Matching sizes and outer shapes stay in separate grids. Use a positive group gap to keep different sizes’ cut lines apart. Label gap still controls spacing within each group.
Set Label gap to 0 mm to share edges. Overlapping horizontal and vertical edges cut once for built-in rectangles and imported DXF labels. Holes, engraving and corner curves stay intact. Applies to nested SVG/DXF and production ZIP.
Use the sheet width and height above as your maximum laser bed size. Trim each nested sheet to its labels plus the edge margin; label gaps stay unchanged.
Add your labels, then click Nest batch.
