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 colour, and enabling the on-screen ruler/grid.
How to Rotate Your Canvas
Launch Maestro Label Designer and sign in.

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 Colour
Note: Your background colour 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.
