The industrial-grade label & tag design studio that prints to anything.
LxveAce Tag Studio combines an intuitive drag-and-drop canvas with powerful multi-machine export. Design once, print to Trotec laser engravers, Panduit thermal printers, Roland vinyl cutters, and more — without leaving the editor.
- Drag-drop editor: Place, rotate, and resize text, barcodes, images, and shapes
- Multi-select & marquee: Shift-click or rubber-band select; move the whole group together
- Smart alignment guides: Snap to other elements' edges and centers, with live guide lines
- Align & distribute: Six-way alignment plus even horizontal/vertical spacing
- Rich element library: Text with 20+ system fonts, Code128B/Code39/QR barcodes, images, and geometric shapes
- Smart data binding: Link elements to CSV or Excel columns for instant batch label generation
- Undo/redo, zoom, nudge & keyboard shortcuts: Professional-grade editing workflow (press
?for the shortcut list)
- Multi-format output: PDF, SVG, and PNG (high-DPI raster), plus per-machine native formats:
- Trotec: Native Ruby import (vector PDF/SVG)
- Panduit Easy-Mark Plus: CSV thermal format
- Roland BN-20A: VersaWorks bridge (PDF/EPS)
- Zebra / thermal: ZPL II jobs for most ZPL-compatible printers
- N-up sheet layout: Tile a label across Letter/A4/Legal/Tabloid with margins and gutters, paginated automatically
- Batch mode: Merge a template with CSV or Excel data rows for 10s–1000s of labels in one run
- Code 128B: Full ASCII 32–126 support (inventory, shipping)
- Code 39: Alphanumeric, check digit optional
- QR: Dynamic data encoding, any URL or text
- Smart quiet zones and customizable text rendering
- Bundled library: Industry-standard sizes (2x1, 4x6, asset tags, shipping labels)
- Category-tagged: Asset, Inventory, Shipping, Custom
- Machine hints: Templates flag compatible machines
- Extend: Add custom templates via the templates folder
- OS credential storage: Machine authentication tokens stored in Windows DPAPI, macOS Keychain, Linux Secret Service — never in config files
- No telemetry: Complete data privacy
- Signed installers: Code integrity verified on every install

Download the installer for your platform and run it. On Windows & macOS, the app will auto-update when new versions are available.
Launch Tag Studio → File → New from Template. Browse the bundled library (Asset, Inventory, Shipping, etc.) or import your own .tagstudio document.
- Click the canvas to add elements (Text, Barcode, Image, Shapes)
- Drag to move, rotate handles for angles, corner handles to resize
- Use the properties panel on the right to style fonts, colors, and barcode symbols
- Bind data fields for batch mode (e.g., link barcode to "AssetID" column in CSV)
- Single label: File → Export → choose format (PDF, native machine format)
- Batch mode: File → Export with Data → upload CSV → select rows → export
- Choose output folder; Tag Studio handles the rest
Tag Studio's adapter system is extensible. We support Trotec, Panduit, and Roland out of the box, but we can add support for your hardware. Contact our support team with the machine model and API docs.
Open the template → File → Export with Data → upload your CSV (columns: Tracking ID, Recipient, Barcode) → select all rows → click Export. Tag Studio will generate a multi-page PDF or native format with one label per row.
Documents are JSON files stored on your computer — tag studio does not upload them anywhere. Machine credentials (auth tokens, API keys) are stored in your OS credential store (Windows DPAPI, macOS Keychain, Linux Secret Service), never in plain text.
Tag Studio includes 20+ system fonts: Arial, Helvetica, Segoe UI, Times New Roman, Georgia, Courier New, Consolas, Impact, and more. All render natively in the canvas and export to PDF/machine formats.
Yes. Every element (text, barcode, image, shape) supports free rotation about its center (in degrees). Skew is not yet supported but is on the roadmap.
Yes. The app is entirely offline except when exporting to cloud-connected machines (future roadmap). Templates, fonts, and editors run locally.
On Windows & macOS, Tag Studio will notify you of updates and install them in the background. On Linux, use your package manager or download the latest .AppImage / .deb / .rpm.
