Labels

Creating and printing a label

A label does two things: it shows the customer what the piece is, and it lets you find the piece again by scanning. You set it up once, then print without thinking.

  1. Pick a template

    The three templates differ only in where your logo sits. Choose what suits the shape of your label — a wide label can take a logo beside the text, a small one cannot.

    Go to 🏢 Company settings and under Label template choose between Compact, Logo on top and Logo beside text.

    Step 1 — Pick a template

  2. Decide what needs scanning

    A QR code carries more data and scans with a phone. A barcode works better with a classic scanner. If in doubt, take both.

    Under Code(s) on the label, choose between QR code + barcode, QR code only and barcode only.

  3. Set the dimensions in millimetres

    This is the step that goes wrong most often. The app has to know how big your labels really are, or the text lands beside or off the label.

    The dimensions are not in the settings window itself: click Design your label first. At the top of the window that opens, fill in Width (mm) and Height (mm). Measure your label if you are unsure.

  4. Move the parts around yourself if you want

    For those who want it exact: you can set the layout yourself instead of using a template. What you see here is what comes out of the printer.

    In that same window, tick Set the layout myself, drag the parts around on the preview, and finish with Save layout.

  5. Print

    You rarely print a single label. Usually you want everything that is not sold yet, or exactly the rows you selected.

    Go to 🛠️ Actions → under Print → 🖨️ Print labels for selected rows or 🖨️ Print labels for all unsold items. Look at the number in the confirmation window before you click Confirm: with "all unsold items" that can run into the hundreds, and they go to the printer one after another.

    Step 5 — Print
