Convert LBL to NLBL

Understanding lbl and nlbl file formats

LBL files are typically used for label design and printing, often associated with label printing software such as NiceLabel or Bartender. These files store layout, text, barcodes, and other elements for label creation. The NLBL file format is a newer or proprietary version of the label file, most commonly associated with NiceLabel software, which uses the .nlbl extension for its latest label design projects. NLBL files offer enhanced features, compatibility, and security compared to the older LBL format.

How to convert lbl to nlbl

To convert an LBL file to an NLBL file, you generally need to use NiceLabel software, as it supports both formats. The process involves opening the LBL file in NiceLabel and saving or exporting it as an NLBL file. This ensures that all design elements and settings are preserved in the new format.

Step-by-step conversion using NiceLabel

1. Install and launch NiceLabel Designer (version 2017 or later).
2. Go to File → Open and select your LBL file.
3. Review the label design to ensure all elements are correctly loaded.
4. Click File → Save As.
5. In the Save as type dropdown, select NiceLabel Label Files (*.nlbl).
6. Choose your destination folder and click Save.
