 # Label Tools
 
+Label Tools combines bounded CSV/JSON data merge with calibrated label stocks
+and a reusable visual template designer. Text, image, barcode and shape
+elements can be positioned by drag, keyboard or exact mm/in/pt fields; template
+JSON round-trips locally. Bleed, sheet bounds, barcode quiet zones and likely
+scan-size problems are checked before print. Physical-size SVG and vector PDF
+exports retain paths and text, while local raster images remain embedded image
+objects.

 Label Tools is a production-oriented, local-first browser studio for merging
 CSV/JSON records into printable label, badge and asset-tag sheets.
