Introduction

A template defines the overall layout and physical structure of the label, including its dimensions, margins, padding, and page arrangement such as rows, columns, and spacing.

• Dimensions (height, width)
• Margins
• Padding
• Page arrangement (not applicable to thermal labels)
  • Rows
  • Columns
  • Gaps
  • Page margins
  • Row/column spacing

Note: All template measurements are defined in inches.

Examples

Here is an example template for a 3"x1" thermal label, with 1/8" margins:

{
  "labelHeightIn": 1,
  "labelPaddingXIn": 0.125,
  "labelPaddingYIn": 0.125,
  "labelWidthIn": 3,
  "numColumns": 1,
  "numRows": 1,
  "pageMarginLeftIn": 0,
  "pageMarginTopIn": 0,
  "pagesizeXIn": 3,
  "pagesizeYIn": 1,
  "xGapIn": 0,

}
