Beginner Tutorial on How to Use Canva to Design Your Product Labels

I'm sharing with you how I design my labels using Canva. This is a very beginner type tutorial. This is for simple print and cut labels (not labels that you would then import into Online Labels or Avery to print on pre-cut circles).

Can I say thank you? Thank you so much. I have been trying to figure out new labels for my soap. I finally found someone who finally explained how to actually do it in Canva.

So this happened today and I have YOU to thank! I posted some of my newly cured and labeled soaps to my socials to get word out. 1 person from my town commented that my soap labels were elegant! ELEGANT!!! Now she wants an iteration of THAT soap with THAT style label for her shop!! I'm just getting my biz going, so you have no idea..o.k., you probably do have an idea, of how that makes me feel! THANK YOU TAMMY for this tutorial....again!!!!!!

This is the first Canva tutorial I've watched and I don't need to look any further. Well done. All the best. Ann

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Glad it was helpful Joan! Thanks for watching!

[@thenaturalgemini]

Thank you so much for this video it has helped me so much. I created a label tonight in Canva following your steps. One thing I did first was to fold piece of printer paper around the soap and actually measure the sides front and back. In Canva there is an option to put on the grid lines and rulers under file and setting. That option helped me distance my images on the label as compared to my measurements. I still had to print and resize some.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Wonderful tip! Thanks! I'm going to try that the next time I need to size a new label! Which of course of this weekend so too late for that one 😂 but the next one for sure!😃

[@kiiwiispice]

I will be uber ecstatic when I try my 1st label. This is a “CAN’T FAIL” video…just have to pay attention to your instructions, which are amazingly easy bcz I am now NO LONGER INTIMIDATED to try.

[@laketafinley8251]

Can I just take a moment and say “WOW!!??” This was the Easiest tutorial to follow ever!!! I’ve watched quite a few that made me want to give up but you nailed it. Thank you. I did have one question, on Canva pro in elements there’s something called Grid (looks like a landscape and some have lines) have you tried using that for duplicates? Or is it easier to just duplicate from each label on the page? Thank you in advance 😇

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

oh my goodness Laketa! That is so kind of you. I really appreciate your comment. I'm by no means and expert or anything on Canva. but I also think some of them give a little too much info that I don't need or want. The frames and grids give me so much grief! The problem I have is that I can't adjust the scale of in image with a frame so rarely use them. sometimes for circles I will. I thought about doing a tutorial on them actually but need to study up so I know more how to get the most out of them. I have used the Grids for some of my social media banners though and that was somewhat helpful LOL

[@bluelot7546]

this was so helpful What printer do you use - regular ink jet or ?thank you

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Hi! I use a somewhat order Xerox - the phaser 6510. I think it was around $350 when I bought it. I wanted a laser so I would not have to keep buying ink. The laser printer is cheaper in the long run with the ink, especially if you are using color. But def more expensive up front. The ink jets will give you better color, cheaper to buy the actual printer, but clearly can get pricey when you have to keep buying ink. The colors also tend to bleed and wear off easier. I have thought about buying an Eco Tank because of the refillable ink capabilities, I have heard good things about it, but it is pricey and I don't want to spend the money on it. My current printer is horrible printing blues and greens and is frustrating. so pros and cons to both - you just have to decide what makes sense for you right now. Maybe a cheaper ink jet until you can afford a nicer printer??

[@FrankSumner-vn1mz]

Thank you. I'm just trying to decide which program to go with, everything is new to me and honestly I find it a bit overwhelming.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

It can be so overwhelming! Hopefully this helped some. I am happy to make more if there is something in particular you need help with. I do love Canva to design on - I find it one of the easiest ones to use.

Loved the video! I have just started using Canva and there are so many possibilities. And so much to learn. I currently use cigar band labels that I created in Word, but it was tedious getting them all the same size. I find that sometimes the alignment is off when I'm wrapping soaps that have cured longer, so am continually adjusting my template. I'm excited to try them on Canva to see if they work better. I'm also interested in learning how to make labels for Avery and Online labels, and will look forward to your next video! 😊👍

Great video tutorial. I looked at canva briefing. Maybe I need to take a 2nd look. Are you able to save an entire sheet 8.5×11 of say lavender with the 5 bands for later to reprint? Or you making them every time you need lavender? I also use cardstock for my soap bands. I use a cutter from Amazon, Firbon makes it. Much easier than scissors. Thank you Tammy! !

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Yes! I print this out on either an 8.5 x 11 sheet of card stock or printer paper and then cut them out by hand - I save them to my google drive so I can reprint them in the one sheet as needed. I'm going to try to tape my Online Labels tut tomorrow and can add this step to that. (thanks) also - I was just talking about getting a new cutter. Do you like the Firbon? I think I am going to have a dedicated one for cardstock as the sticker paper is always gunking up my cutter wheel...but then I would have to store two and that thought makes me cringe LOL

[@adasulejmani8787]

Hi, Just a quick tip! If you’re designing the label in Canva, you can use the Canva Label Sheets app to export and print your design directly onto any label sheet of your choice. Simply select the brand and template code, and it will be ready to go-no manual adjustments needed. :)

Thanks again for another great video, this was so helpful! I’m a hobbyist and use the free version of Canva and hope one day to sell my soaps. I couldn’t figure out how to copy my whole label so I would recreate each one to duplicate it 🤦‍♀️, thank you! I’d like to know more about what you like and dislike about Canva Pro. Also if I want to download an image, where would I find images that are free and not copyrighted? Thanks again and so looking forward to the next!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Those are great questions Sue! I will address those in my Canva to Online Labels tutorial but will go ahead and give you my favorite free online images 1) Pixabay pixabay.com/ and 2) Unsplash unsplash.com/ - I used to use these exclusively when I used my Silhouette to design my labels. Hope that helps!!

[@suebridger9805]

Thank you so much Tammy! 💗

[@kerim7799]

You can make the border thinner. Use the corner handle to make the square small. Then use the top/bottom/side handles to get it back to the size you want… with a now thinner border. Same for a thicker border- use corner to enlarge and reduce with side handles.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

[@tammybaxter8903]

When using canva which would be better inkjet or laser printer for labels?

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

They have labels that work for both - when you are searching for labels, just make sure you buy the ones that match you printer. I will never go back to inkjet due to the quantity of labels I print. I get generic color from Amazon - name brand Xerox is way too expensive LOL Still the generic is $60 I think but it lasts me about 9-12 months

[@lisagarrett1330]

I too do cigar band type labels for my soaps and they are a pain and get loose, which drive me crazy, sometimes I feel like I waste more paper just keeping them tight. I cut each and every one by hand. I’m trying to think of a better way. So is canva paid version better?

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

I agree with the cigar bands. I cut out my little rant about them for time sakes, but I tried to switch to bio film shrink wrap... my customers hated it. I too cut them by hand, it is such a pain lol. I started to try not wrapping until I think I am really close to selling. I think paid version is better if you are using it to transfer to Online Labels or something along those lines. Plus the folders are so helpful and you don't get that organization with the free version.

[@TheAnimalsMagicShop]

This is the fourth tutorial I've watched on Canva and am still having problems, like when I dragged the box over under "shapes" it came out grey and printed grey, but will come back again when I'm less frustrated and watch the rest of your video. But really, I think It'd be easier to print out simple labels on Libra Office, cut them out, and glue them on.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

oh I'm sorry you are having problems! I'm curious, are you changing the color of your box when you are adding it to your design? I always have to change mine to white and then lower the transparency. It always initially adds the box in a bright pink LOL

[@backwoodsbushcraft2633]

Hi Tammy, I was messing around with canva after watching your video. In your video you picked the square element to get started with your label. Your square element has the Grey border how do you get a border or remove it? Mine doesn't appear. I also noticed shutting off the button above the print on the print screen that says let the app change settings stops it from defaulting back to landscape. Thanks for any advice

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Oh my gosh you just saved me sooo many clicks!! Thanks for that tip! As far as the border, I just use the boarder element, they have some with "shadows" that give them a different look. also, I feel the boarder is too thick sometimes, so I will put a white box inside it and size it so the border is the size I want, then I can group them into one element. I hope I am understanding your question, if not feel free to ask again!

What kind of printer do you use?

[@valbakke]

How many labels will it print on one sheet?

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

If you are talking cigar bands, I get 6 per sheet. I used to get 5 but I wanted to not only have more labels per sheet but not take up so much space on my soap - so I made them shorter in height. Hope that helps!

[@pressaltf4319]

how and what do i use to make my own logo?

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

you can make you logo on Canva, at least that is what I would do as I like canve. But I did hire a graphic designer to create my logo and business cards for me. I then was able to take it and create all of my other materials (labels, table skirts and so on) There may be sites to help you create it too, I just am not aware of them.

How I was able to add a boarder (and still manipulate it to the size I want) is add a shape. This gives you the ability to make it as long and wide as you want it. Once you have the you can duplicate it. Make the duplicate white. Then take the corner radius and make it a touch smaller. Click the position tab and center the two both middle and center. Adjust the white box until you have the boarder the thickness you want. I'm sure there must be an easier way to do this but this is a workaround that I have been able to come up with. - Good Luck!!

@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique thank you! I figured it out last night but appreciate you helping me😄

I downloaded Canva for the 14 dat trial. So far absolutely lost. This has helped some but I can’t say I’m even close to confident 🤦🏻‍♀️😬

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

oh shoot, I'm sorry you are having problems - I am here to help if you need me. I can do specific videos on what exactly you are looking for or I can do a live video of how to use Canva so you can ask questions I'm looking for more live video ideas and this might be a good one - IF it is product label or social media related Canva use. Anything else is not my strong suit LOL

@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique oh thank you so much! It might be a great idea! I know I learned from your video then I did before seeing it!! So that’s something… I’m about to try my first soap. Waiting for a few more things to arrive and then I’ll get rolling. So yes a live video on labeling all my stuff. So far still at a stand still lol

this is worthless. she said she's showing how to use it without a transparent background, when that's not the title of the vid

Hi Tammy! I LOVED your video! You are a great teacher and I learned a lot from you. Great options and I finally learned how to flip the text in Canva! You are adorable too Cheers!

I liked this. I'm still wrapping soaps with shrink wrap, the good kind, lol! I have thought of changing as pepple like all natural wrapping. I do use Online Labels. I was thinking of wrapping my soaps on paper and putting my label over it. You can't see through paper though and I still do summer markets. Of coarse I could go naked bars at market, but to much touching for my taste or leave one sample bar out. This is why I shrink wrap. My bars will not fit in any box I've seen! My bars are 4X2X11/2 inches and weigh 6-7 ounces. Yeah, their huge! My customers seem to love those honking big bars, lol! I charge 10$ for my fragranced bars. For my natural bars I make them in a standard Bramble Berry 5# mold and cut them at 1 inch. They fit in boxes! Yeah! I wish soap box companies would offer bigger boxes. I'd consider going down to 11/4 inch wide, but no smaller. I want my customers to know they are getting a great deal! I compete directly with Buff City Soaps. Their bars are small and they charge 8$, I think. Their bars weigh 4.5 to 5 ounces. I hate having to compete with them, all people who have used Buff bars say they are drying to the skin. Mine are not and that's where I win. I use oatmeal, clay, silk fibers, coconut milk/cream, shea and cocoa butter. They basically don't! That's why their bars are drying! Wow! I got off topic! I'm crazy because the ice/snow storm knocked out power for 8 hours today! Im in internet withdrawl, lol! Tammy, this was a great stab at doing labels and kicking out ideas. Your going to have to do product labels next, lol! Soaps are the easier ones. Why don't you use Online Labels, just curious? Jill

Hey there Jill! I tried to go the bio film shrink wrap rout and my customers hated it - vehemently LOL, that's what I meant when I said I was listening to my customers (I cut out a bit of my rant about it because 1) time sakes, and 2) totally off topic LOL. So I'm back with the cigar bands and hating them. I've only recently heard of Buff City, they aren't around here that I know of (yet). Your bars are BIG and they sound AMAZING! I have some silk that I keep forgetting to use, I used it a couple of times years ago and haven't since. I want to see the difference. You have inspired me to give it another go! 💖. I've also never used oatmeal in my soaps...I've seen it done (Ellen Ruth) but haven't tried it. I just did a series on inspired soaps a couple of weeks ago (probably up here in a few weeks) Can I add an inspired by you soap to my video series? I would love to do that! I could even send people to your website if you have one!! We got a lot of snow this week too (finally!) now I'm over it LOL, didn't loose power tho. I do you Online Labels! Well I print from Maestro but I really hate the program for creating labels. It's been awhile since I've tried but I remember not liking a thing about the capabilities. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!💖
