Canva is a free, online design software. It uses a drag-and-drop format and provides access to over a million photographs, graphics, and fonts. It is used by non-designers as well as professionals. The tools can be used for both web and print media design and graphics.
With a few simple clicks, you can design and create gorgeous, professional labels from Canva’s pre-designed fonts, images, icons and layouts.
On this page, we will walk you through the steps for creating labels in Canva.
For empty Canva template, we have already import the sheet labels’ outline as the backgound image.
Remember to adjust the backgound image’s transparency ratio to 0% before download your design as a PDF file.
Suppose the sheet label have N columns, M rows. All the labels’ contents are the same.
1 – First, design the top left label, then group all the design elements.
2 – Copy the design of the first label, and move it to the last column of the first row, adjust the horizontal positon.
3 – Make N-2 copies of the first label’s design.
4 – Select all the N designs, Choose “Position” from the toolbar, click “Align elements Top” and “Space evenly Horizontally”
5 – Select all the design of the first row, then group.
6 – Copy the design of the first row, and move it to the last row, adjust the vertical postion.
7 – Make M-2 copies of the first row’s design.
8 – Select all the M designs, Choose “Position” from the toolbar, click “Align elements Top” and “Space evenly Horizontally”
9 – Choose the background image, and adjust the transparency ratio to 0%
10 – Download your design as PDF file, then print it.
Other tips
1 – Don’t change the background image.
2 – Test on a plain white paper before printing directly on your labels.
Respectfully, why are these programs and instructions always written to software people and not to people who have no clue about certain terms etc? Is there truly no easy way to copy my designed label on Canva and just Paste it on the labels in Word?
Your instructions, to me, makes no sense and I feel dumb and brain locked.
I wanted to say thanks but … for what?…
Hello,

I have 2-1/2 x 1-1/2 oval labels and I have added text. What I would like to do is outline just that oval with a think green outline. How do I do that.
Dear gellerbabe,
Glad to help. If you are using Canva template, you can follow the following steps to add oval outlines on each label:
1. Select “Elements” from the left side bar.
2. From the “Shapes” choose round shape.
3. Adjust the round shape into oval by dragging the frame.
4. From the upper bar, click “color”, and select “No color” under “Document colors”.
5. Click “Border Styles” aside color, and choose the outline style you need, after doing this you can see a new icon which is “border color” icon appears on the left side of “Border Styles”, click it.
6. Choose a green color from defaut color or adjust a green color yourself from “add a new color” under “Document colors”
Duplicate and align the outlines to each label：
1. Hold down the “Alt” key, click on the elements, and drag them downward. You will see that the outline is copied. Keep the left mouse button pressed while dragging, and hold down the “Shift” key to ensure that the copied elements align vertically with the original ones. Of course, if you don’t press the “Shift” key, you can use the alignment lines to check if the copied elements are aligned with the original ones. Now, let’s drag the copied elements to the bottom position of the label.
2. click on the first element, press “Ctrl+C” to copy it, and then press “Ctrl+V” to create 4 more copies. Select all the elements, click on “Position” in the top menu, and then choose “Vertically” in the “Space evenly” section. Now, you’ll notice that the content of the five labels is evenly distributed. Then, click on “Align elements” and choose “left.” You’ll see that the content of each label is now aligned.
3. Select all the oval outline shapes and click “Group”. Than hold down the “Alt” key, click on the grouped oval outline shapes, and drag them rightward.
4. click on the left grouped oval outline shapes, press “Ctrl+C” to copy it, and then press “Ctrl+V” to create 1 more copies. Select all the shapes and click on “Position” in the top menu, and then choose “Horizontally” in the “Space evenly” section. Now, you’ll notice that the content of the five labels is evenly distributed. Then, click on “Align elements” and choose “top.” You’ll see that the content of each label is now aligned.
