Working with Layers
Layers provide additional flexibility when designing a label. The layers act as a hierarchy
that helps to determine the vertical arrangement of objects on a label. The objects are
arranged in a stacking order that has objects on the top layer always overlaying those on
the layer below. Placing objects on different layers allows you to better organize and edit
objects as you design the label. Each layer can contain a different section of the label

view, edit or print specific layers or combinations of layers. To view the Layers Palette,
select View>Palettes>Layers. The Layers Palette is shown below:
