Wall Labels allow you to generate print-ready labels for artworks displayed in exhibitions. Each label automatically pulls artwork details from your inventory, such as artist, title, year, and additional notes, and formats them into a standardized layout.

You can customize which details appear on your labels using the **Wall Label Caption Formatter** in your PDF Template settings.
