[P1L] Adding Text to a Label In BOLDR Pro

Text fields let you add titles, descriptions, piece names, location identifiers, or other custom information to your labels. BOLDR Pro includes a formatting toolbar so you can control how your text appears when printed.

Adding a Text Field

• In the label editor, tap the + inside a cell to open the Add Input Field menu.
• Select Text Field.
• Tap the placeholder text ("Insert Text") to begin typing your content.
• Text will automatically wrap within the cell boundaries as you type.

Text Formatting Options

The formatting toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen when editing text. The following options are available:

• Bold (B) — Apply or remove bold formatting. Useful for titles, headings, or key information you want to stand out on the printed label.
• Italic (I) — Italicize text for notes, secondary details, or to visually differentiate certain content from the rest of the label.
• Underline (U) — Underline text to emphasize specific values or create visual separation.
• Font Size (A) — Three size options are available: small, medium (default), and large. Use larger text for primary information like part numbers or location names, and smaller text for detailed notes or specifications.
• Text Alignment (≡) — Toggle between left, center (default), and right alignment. Center alignment works well for single-line titles, while left alignment is generally better for multi-line text.

Editing a Text Field After Adding It

Tap the text field on your label to open the Edit Text menu with the following options:

• Add / Replace Text — Edit the text content and formatting.
• Rotate Field — Rotate the text within the cell. Each tap rotates by 90°.
• Clear Field Type — Remove the text but keep the empty cell on the label.
• Delete Cell — Remove the entire cell from the label layout.

Tips for Using Text Fields

• Keep text concise. Labels are small, so shorter text prints more clearly and is easier to read on-site.
• Use bold and a larger font size for the most important information on the label, such as the piece name or location.
• Combine text fields with other input types like measurement fields, icons, or QR codes to create labels that include both readable context and data.
• Use the Preview button to check that your text is readable at print size before sending to the printer.
