Cable Wrap Labels

The cable wrap label is one of several cable management specific labels.

The content of the cable wrap label is repeated three times so that it can be viewed from any angle when the label is wrapped around the cable.

One text box is automatically added to the label. Additional text boxes, barcodes, images, and shapes cannot be added to a cable wrap label.

Formatting applies only to the selected text box.

Use Serialize to automatically create a series of labels.
