Design features
• The Droid Mono Bold font offers consistent character spacing, discernible characters and a modern look.
• The text height is scaled to fit one field above the other in the vertical space. Horizontal scaling offers good data density without sacrificing legibility.
• Above the text, a blank margin allows for some vertical print drift.
• Adequate space separates each field to prevent characters from overlapping, even with a mix of uppercase and lowercase characters.
• Below the text, a blank margin allows room for lowercase descenders, such as g and q, while also providing allowance for vertical print drift.
• Generous left and right margins allow for horizontal print drift.
The print drift specification is ±0.76-mm (±0.030‑in) for positioning the edge of the label to the edge of the label backing.

• The usable width of fields 1 and 2 (left) is slightly greater than fields 3 and 4 (right), offering options for both longer and shorter data sets.
