How It Works

Three steps to get set up.

1

Add the work to your portfolio

Title, year, medium, dimensions, edition — every field that belongs on a wall label.

2

Generate the label

Choose portrait or landscape. One click exports a print-ready PDF, scaled to your chosen label size.

3

Print and mount

Print at home or send to your local print shop. The QR opens the full work entry with statement, images, and exhibition history.

Your profile, CV, and portfolio are all included. Create your free profile.

Editorial typography

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, weight-600 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 full work entry on your Artsume profile.

  • Bold title, primary element, tracked tight, no italics
  • Year, small gray subscript below the title
  • Weight-600 artist name , secondary element, with life line beneath
  • Medium & dimensions , proportional gray metadata, Inter font
  • QR in footer, credit line left, QR code right
Portrait vs landscape

Two layouts, one click.

Portrait is the standard gallery orientation, taller than wide, 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, the PDF regenerates instantly.

Multi-label sheets

One sheet, twelve labels, ready to cut.

For group shows, open studios, or large collections, the multi-label sheet PDF lays out up to 12 labels per US Letter or A4 page, complete with crop marks. Print at home or send to your local print shop.

Select any works from your portfolio, choose a size, and the sheet builds itself. Every label includes the full editorial hierarchy and a QR code linking to that specific work entry.

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 Artsume entry on their phone — statement, additional images, exhibition history, related works. The label becomes a portal to the entire context.

Editorial typography vs DIY labels

Most DIY artwork labels — Word docs, printable templates — look like Word docs. The Artsume label uses the same typographic conventions as major museum labels: tracked title, weight-600 artist name, proportional metadata. It signals seriousness on sight.
