  • I can explain to you multiple ways how to achieve this in Sketch app, but have you thought about how you/your programmer is going to achieve this in code?

This might be an over-simplified answer but could you could have a white, borderless rectangle cover the yellow border and put text on top of that?

Then you could group the text and border if you want to resize later.
