Texas has no state income tax. Every dollar you save on software stays in your pocket. The $1,077 annual savings from switching to Nexa is real money — not reduced by state taxes.
Whether you call it invoice management, a app for jobs, or a invoicing system — most label designers in Amarillo stitch together HoneyBook, FreshBooks, Toggl Track, Harvest and other monthly services. That's $1,356/year in monthly software fees. Over the next 5 years at today's prices, you're looking at $6,780.
Nexa lets you own your tools. Your CRM, invoice management, calendar tool, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — in a single app. A single action books a client. A single action generates an invoice. No copying between apps. No third-party glue. No per-connection charges. It's a one-time purchase — save money from the first day. For label designers in Amarillo weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
You start by pulling the exact label dieline for the client's bottle, a tall slim format, because a label designed for the wrong dimensions wraps wrong and the seam lands in the worst place. Morning is layout in Illustrator: the brand name, the product story, the imagery, all balanced within the label's safe area, with the seam allowance kept clear of anything important. This is a kombucha label, so the FDA nutrition panel, ingredients, and allergen statement are required, and the client's text is longer than the space wants, so you set it legibly small without crowding the front. Around eleven you mock it on a 3D bottle to check how the design reads curved, and the logo that looked centered flat sits off to one side once wrapped, so you shift it. Lunch is at the desk reviewing brand colors against the Pantone guide because the brand green has to match across every product. Afternoon the printer specs come in: clear-on-clear stock with a white underprint behind the text, which changes how you build the white layer, so you add and mark it. You print a proof on adhesive stock and wrap it on a real bottle to confirm. The client emails that two more flavors are coming, each needing its own color and relayout, and you flag the per-flavor work. Late day you finalize the dieline, the white-layer build, and the scannable barcode, label the spot and underprint layers, and log the compliance text and the upcoming variants to the tracker.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a label designer's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a label designer — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
