LBL file format:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Below is our analysis of the LBL files:

The LBL extension is very commonly found and is mainly used by one program with a specific format. The two most common formats are as follows:

75% of all LBL files use the Microsoft Compound File format, also known as Composite Document File format or OLE2 compound document format. This Windows file format has features similar to those of a filesystem format with virtual files and subfolders. The file signature of compound files is defined as D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1, so the first character of a file looks like "DOCFILE". The app name of LBL files is P-touch Editor or LABELVIEW 2014 - Pro. Sections and streams in the file are named Contents, OcDocument, V2R3 Data, NICE Preview, PO Check, V21R2 Data, V2R4 Data, V2R5 Data, V30 Data, V26 Data, Integrations, V21R6 Data, V3 Data, V31 Data, V32 CP Storages, V32 Data, V322 Data, V33 Data, V36 Data, V364 Data and V365 Data. LBL files are between 62 KB and 250 KB in size. The file type was created 10 years ago, but is still used today. Such LBL files store data about label, barcode, etiqueta, sample, vita, code, microscope and logo.
5% of all LBL files start with the bytes MX9, which are crucial for this file format. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. The files are 4 KB to 71 KB in size, with a median of 17 KB.

All other LBL files (20%) have different formats, the following 15 formats exist: Detached PDS Label info, UTF-16 (LE), UTF-8, config, RIFF, BEtichette, LAB and Label. Often described as labels, zebra, pako, etichetta, biscotti, pastrama, carnati or pack.
