Whether you're preparing to address a company direct mailing or labeling a batch of file folders to hold client documents, you want your output to look professional. If you've already worked with Adobe InDesign on a range of printed output,you might want to take advantage of the page-layout application for your labeling project as well. Depending on the label size, style and setup, you can start with a template or build your own INDD file from scratch.
Start With a Template
1.Download a label template in Adobe InDesign format (see link in Resources). Available templates accommodate popular types and sizes of adhesive-backed labels that you print by the sheet.
2.Unzip the archive you downloaded to extract your template document. Double-click on the template, which uses an .indt file extension, to open an untitled copy of it in InDesign.
3.Remove existing graphics if the template includes preformatted resources that conflict with your planned design. Switch to the Selection tool, marquee around a column's worth of frames included for text content, and change their width in the Control panel to reflect the removal of elements you deleted.
Start With Measurements
1.Press 'Ctrl-N' to create a new Adobe InDesign document. Use the measurements supplied with the label product you're using, including specific page margins, often asymmetrical. Use InDesign's column and gutter measurements to define label width and vertical position.
2.Select the Rectangle Frame tool from the InDesign toolbox. Click at the intersection of your top and left margins, bringing up the Rectangle dialog box. Enter the width and height of an individual label in the corresponding fields. Click on the 'OK' button to create your frame.
3.Switch to the Selection tool. Open the 'Edit' menu and choose 'Step and Repeat.' Subtract 1 from the number of labels in a column and enter the result in the 'Repeat Count' field. Set the Horizontal Offset to 0 and the Vertical Offset to the vertical gap between individual labels in a column, if any. Click on the 'OK' button to create your frames.
4.Press 'Ctrl-A' to select all your frames. Hold down the 'Alt' key, click on the selection, press the 'Shift' key and drag the frames to create a copy of them in the next column on your document page. If your label product includes three labels across the width of the sheet, duplicate the frames you duplicated.

Entering Text
1.Press 'Ctrl-D' to select an external text file that contains the type for your labels. Navigate to the source file you want to use and click on the 'Open' button to access it.
2.Hold down the 'Alt' key and click on the first frame in the lefthand column of labels to place the first increment of text. Your cursor remains loaded with the remaining text so you can depress the 'Alt' key again and continue filling frames.
3.Switch to the Type tool. Click in a text frame and press 'Ctrl-A' to select all your type. Use the Control panel to set the typeface, style, size and leading of your label text.
Tips
- Most template resource sites require that you register for an account or provide your email address to qualify for access to their free InDesign-format files. To access templates from the Adobe Exchange (see Resources), you must log in with your Adobe ID.
- If you can't find page setup dimensions in the label product box, visit the manufacturer's website for specifications.
- Test-print a page from your Adobe InDesign file on a blank sheet of paper before you begin printing labels. Place the test page on top of a label sheet and verify that your text lines up correctly with the individual labels.
Warning
- If you load your text frames individually by picking up the text from the preceding frame's out port, you can't select and format the text from multiple frames.

Mastering the holy trinity of Adobe’s creative design software is no mean feat by any stretch of the imagination. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign– each of these are massive programs, hugely powerful and capable of being used to create pretty much anything in graphic design that you could possibly think of.
The designer needs to be able to use all three. In Illustrator it’s vector-based artwork. In Photoshop, it’s raster-based. And in InDesign, you put all of your artwork together to make your beautiful brochure, magazine, poster, eBook, or what have you.
As you can imagine, or even already know, none of this is easy, and all of it is time-consuming.
Thankfully, however, there is a wealth of free InDesign template resources available on the web that anyone can utilise to cut down on the time it takes during the final stage of the process – the design of your final document.
The great thing about the resources in the following list is that, despite the fact that they are free, they are all of superb, professional quality – some, in fact, just as good or even better than some of the premium templates that are out there.
Design templates are of course very handy things to have access to – and there’s no shame in using them either. We do, and we’ve got many, many years of experience with InDesign under our belts. But we find very often there is a free template readily available that we can quickly download and put to use with absolutely zero sacrifice to the design quality of the final result. This saves us time to work on more complex projects, and of course perfect our Photoshop and Illustrator artworks.
So, where do we find these great free InDesign templates? Allow me to show you…
Top 5 FREE InDesign Template Resources
Best InDesign Templates
(Image source: bestindesigntemplates.com)
Best InDesign Templates isn’t entirely free, but rather has a mix of premium templates (that you have to pay for) and free ones. The free section is nothing to be sniffed at, however, and many are in fact even better than anything that the site wants you to pay for.
The image above, for example, is the free template entitled ‘Vehicle Datasheet’. As you can see, it’s laid out beautifully with clear boxes for text and space for images, and each element sits well at a pleasing distance from each other. And of course, this template can be customised to become a datasheet for anything – not just a car. Any product that your business sells can used here – from trampolines to stereos to software – all you have to do is fill in the blanks.
Stock InDesign

Stock InDesign is one of our firm favourites. Again, there are a mix of free templates and premium ones, but the free ones are impeccable.
There are book templates, magazine templates, corporate flyer templates – you name it. And many of the templates also contain a walkthrough video to get you started using them with InDesign. Great stuff.
Blurb

Blurb, of course, provides its own cloud-based design software for self-publishers of books, magazines, etc. But it also has its own section for templates, some of which can be used with InDesign.
Take a look around – there are plenty for books, and magazines, all of which are absolutely delicious on the eye. You won’t go far wrong with any of these.
Creativity Crate

Creativity Crate is a collection of templates created by designer Angela W Head, and you will find everything from magazine templates to business card templates to wine label templates.
As always, Angela wants you to pay for some of her work, but her free section offers a few templates to get you started. All the templates are totally customisable and some are even suitable if you’re running versions of InDesign as old as CS5.
Handle Branding
Free Wine Label Templates Printable

Handle Branding once again is mainly a resource for premium templates, but there are a couple of free ones for designing a magazine that you can use. These are actually pretty good, mind you, and could be the exact thing that you need to create that perfect publication you’ve been dreaming of.
Indeed, before you start trolling through all the others on this list, it’s probably worth checking out these two first, for it could save you time if you eliminated these (in one way or another) in your hunt for the perfect template from the outset – and, at the end of the day, saving time is exactly what using templates is all about.
