- This post is about creating the shipping label 8163 template in LaTeX using TikZ package. One page has 10 labels, each one has 4inches width and 2 inches height. The aim of this example is to learn how to draw rectangles with rounded corners and use foreach loop for repetitive shapes.
Short description
- Each label corresponds to a rectangle with 4 inches width and 2 inches height. The rectangle has rounded corners and drawn 10 times using two foreach loops. Text and images can be added using node command. Check the code below!
