Museum-quality labels for every work.
Editorial-typography wall labels that match what you see in any major gallery. Title, year, medium, dimensions, plus a QR linking to the work's full page. Print one or print a sheet.
No credit card required
Three steps to get set up.
Add the work to your portfolio
Title, year, medium, dimensions, edition. Every detail that belongs on a wall label.
Generate the label
Choose portrait or landscape. One click exports a print-ready PDF, scaled to your chosen label size.
Print and mount
Print at home or send to your local print shop. The QR opens the work's full page with statement, images, and exhibition history.
Your profile, CV, and portfolio are all included. Create your free profile.
The hierarchy major museums use, applied to your work.
The Artsume label follows the “modern editorial” convention: artwork title in bold at the top, year in small gray beneath it, semibold artist name as the secondary element, life line below. Medium and dimensions run in proportional gray text. A QR code in the footer links to the work's full page on your Artsume profile.
- Bold title: primary element, tracked tight, no italics
- Year: small gray subscript below the title
- Semibold artist name: secondary element, with life line beneath
- Medium & dimensions: proportional gray metadata, Inter font
- QR in footer: credit line left, QR code right
Two layouts, one click.
Portrait is the standard gallery orientation, taller than wide with the content stacked vertically. Landscape reflows the same content into two columns with a hairline divider: title, artist, and metadata on the left; QR in the bottom-right of the right column.
Both orientations scale proportionally to your chosen label size. Switch between them at any time and the PDF regenerates instantly.
One sheet, as many labels as the paper fits.
For group shows, open studios, or large collections, the cut-sheet PDF tiles the label edge to edge across a US Letter or A4 page. Cut guides run the full page edge. The smallest size fits twelve to a page, fewer as the label grows. Print at home or send to your local print shop.
Pick the work, choose a size, and the sheet builds itself. Every copy carries the full editorial hierarchy and a QR code linking to that work’s page.
Common questions. Straight answers.
Common gallery sizes: 4 × 3 in, 5 × 3.5 in, 6 × 4 in. Each scales the typography proportionally so the editorial hierarchy reads cleanly at any size.
Yes. The multi-label sheet PDF lays out up to 12 labels per US Letter or A4 page, with crop marks for clean cutting.
Title, year, medium, dimensions, edition (if applicable), artist name, life line, credit, and a QR code. Edit every detail on your portfolio.
No. Omit the QR if you want a traditional museum label. With the QR, scanning opens the work’s full page: statement, additional images, exhibition history.
Yes. The typography follows the ‘modern editorial’ convention used by major museums: bold title first, semibold artist name second, gray metadata below. Inter font, careful tracking.
Why museum-quality matters
Why a QR on the wall label changes things
A traditional wall label tells visitors the title and medium. A QR-equipped label lets them open the work’s full page on their phone: statement, additional images, exhibition history, related works.
Editorial typography vs DIY labels
Most DIY artwork labels are Word docs or printable templates, and they look it. The Artsume label uses the same typographic conventions as major museum labels: tracked title, semibold artist name, proportional metadata.
