I don't use anything in back of the lable, but I do use microsoft word to make my labels, which include the name of the quilt, the name of the person to whom I am giving it to(if), the date and of course my name. Then I measure 16 inches in and 16 inches up from left corner of the backing. This is the placement of the left and lower edges of the label. You can put the label on the right side. This is to insure that the label is also quilted. Much harder to remove.
