5) Import your custom shape label layout design elements and begin aligning with the template. In the video tutorial we show how that would work for an octagonal custom shape label.

6) If any part of your design is meant to bleed outside of the cut-line make sure that it extends to the bleed line.

7) Once your design looks good save the pdf, duplicate it and name it something that makes sense such as Custom Shape Guide. Open it in Illustrator, remove everything except for the “cut line” and save the pdf. Now return to the corresponding product page on our website , select qty and any other specifications you would like and add to cart.

8) Open your shopping cart to view your order. If everything looks good with your custom shape label layout hit the check out button, upload your artwork file, the custom shape file and follow the check out process.

These distinctive labels are not just a functional element; they serve as a unique branding tool that sets you apart from the competition in several compelling ways.

First and foremost, custom shape label layout break free from the ordinary. While standard-sized labels might conform to conventional shapes and sizes, custom labels allow you to think outside the box – literally.

Whether it’s a label shaped like your logo, the product itself, or a symbol that represents your brand, custom shapes enable you to make a memorable and eye-catching impression.

They allow you to be creative, memorable, and unique – qualities that can make a significant impact on your brand’s success.
