[new] May 2026How to create a new label design for Automation using Avery Design Pro 5.0 Follow the steps below to create a new label to be used with Automation Suite using Avery Design Pro 5.0. Before you begin, make a new folder anywhere on your hard drive and name it anything you like. (e.g Template) (I put my new folder on the desktop) Using your windows explorer, go to C:\Router-CIM\Automation\Bin and copy the file called Label.dbf into the folder that you just created. While your there, make a copy of the original RouterCIM.zpd file that is in that folder also. Open Avery Design Pro.

This screen shows actual label that you chose in the previous step.

My Wife And I -shipwrecked On A Desert Island -... [new] May 2026The silence was the first thing that hit us. Not the peaceful, Sunday-morning kind, but a heavy, rhythmic weight. The roar of the Pacific had replaced the hum of our refrigerator and the distant sirens of the city. That night, a rainstorm soaked our shelter. We huddled back-to-back, shivering. Then, silently, she passed me half of a sweet potato she had hidden. I used my body to shield her from the dripping roof. No apology was spoken. None was needed. My Wife and I -Shipwrecked on a Desert Island -... Day 5: Fire (The Great Sunglasses Experiment)Benchley (1890–1945) perfected the persona of the befuddled, obsessive, mildly neurotic everyman. The essay satirizes how humans use trivial rituals (games, rules, arguments) to impose order on chaos. It’s also a gentle mockery of marriage: even on a deserted island, couples find ways to bicker about something as silly as cards. The silence was the first thing that hit us The sun hadn’t even fully set before the silence of the island began to feel heavier than the roar of the storm that put us here. Behind us, the skeletal remains of our sailboat groaned against the reef; ahead of us, a crescent of white sand was swallowed by an emerald wall of jungle. For years, Sarah and I had joked about "getting away from it all." Now, with nothing but the salt on our skin and the clothes on our backs, we were finally alone. That night, a rainstorm soaked our shelter It began as the vacation of a lifetime—a two-week sailing charter through the archipelagos of the South Pacific. It ended, forty-eight hours later, with the sound of hull-tearing coral and the sight of our “floating hotel” listing violently into a turquoise grave. My wife, Sarah, and I were the only two souls to wash ashore on a speck of land so small it didn’t even have a name on the maritime charts.
Using the Insert, Space, and New Line buttons, you can make the layout for you’re your new labels. Because of the size of this label, I was able to fit all of the fields on this label. Remember, the size of the label you choose dictates how much information (or how many fields) you can actually place on the label.
Notice the placement of fields 14 and 15. This will be important because placing it at the bottom of the label; these fields will be at the bottom of the Bar Code. Also notice that Field 13 is not on the label above. This is explained next… Field 13 is the graphic that can show the picture of your part on the label. To place a graphic on the label, from the Database pull down menu, choose ‘Insert Image’
Choose Field 13 and click 'OK'.
By default, the graphic is placed in the upper left corner of the label.
By grabbing and dragging, place the graphic box in the location you would like your graphic it be placed. For this example, I have placed the graphic in the lower right corner.
Field 15 is used to place a Bar Code graphic on the label. First, from the Insert pull down menu, choose ‘Bar Code’.
Your cursor will now change, drag from the upper left to the lower right to create a box.
After the box is created, from the Database pull down menu, choose ‘Insert Fields’ and click on Field15 and click ‘Insert'.
When finished, your label should look like this.
NOTE: To prevent the bar code from becoming larger than the label and to have the name of the bar code shown, follow these steps: Highlight the bar code image and right-click on the dotted edge. Select 'Format Bar Code...' for the list.
This will open the Format Bar Code dialog box:
You want to make sure that 'Display Plaintext' and 'Adjust Size' are selected. Now it’s time to save your label. Choose 'Save’ or 'Save As’ from the file pull down menu. The Save in: should be set to C:\Router-CIM\Automation\Bin.
PLEASE NOTE THE FILE NAME: The only choice you have is to save it as a .zdl type at this point. In the File name: type in RouterCIM.zdp and click 'Save'. You should be asked if you would like to overwrite the file. Answer ‘Yes’
Copy the label.dbf file from the Template folder created in the beginning of the tutorial to the C:\Router-Cim\Automation\Bin folder and choose 'Yes' to overwrite the existing file. Then delete the copy of the label.dbf file in the Template folder you created. You are finished….run a job through Automation. When the job if finished and you open the Data Folder, you will see a RouterCIM.zpd file. Double-click on it. You will probably have to set the path for windows to open this type of file. The application to use would be the Labeler.exe found in C:\Program Files\Avery Dennison\DesignPro 5.0 Limited Edition folder. |
