What is a ZDL file?

ZDL files mostly belong to Design & Print by Avery. A ZDL file is a label designed using DesignPro product label design and printing software developed by Avery. DesignPro has been discontinued and replaced by Design & Print. Users can import, render, and print a ZDL file. However, Design & Print cannot save designs in ZDL format so, the format is essentially obsolete. To further edit the label design saved in a ZDL file, a user needs to open the file with Design & Print and save it as an AVERY file.

How to open a ZDL file

You need a suitable software like Design & Print from Avery to open a ZDL file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your ZDL file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a ZDL file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

ZDL file extension format:

To find out what program is needed to open ZDL files, you need to determine the file format. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our evaluation of the ZDL files is as follows:

ZDL is not a commonly used file extension and predominantly uses a uniform format. The following file formats are most commonly found in ZDL files:

• 95% of all ZDL files utilize the Microsoft Compound File format, also known as Compound File Binary File format (CFBF or CFB) or OLE2 Compound Document format. This is a complex container format used by earlier versions of Microsoft Office and other Windows programs. Header signature for the CFB format with 8-byte Hex value D0CF11E0A1B11AE1 (which looks like "DOCFILE"). The internal app name of ZDL files is DesignPro or Label Factory. Sections and streams in the file have names like Contents and SummaryInformation. A typical file size is 520 KB. The file type was developed 10 years ago and is still in use today. These files can be linked to label, labels, card, christmas and business.

All other ZDL files (5%) have different formats. If you want to find out what your ZDL file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
