A label the scanner reads and a person understands.
Templates for LPN, EAN, shipping, customs and other labels are laid out in a visual designer, in millimetres, and checked as a PDF before printing. Each goods owner or supplier can have its own template, and each workstation its own printer.
- Eight template types
- Code128, EAN, ITF-14, QR
- SSCC
- Printer per workstation
From template to the label on the carton
One designer for everything the warehouse sticks on or encloses — from the LPN on a pallet to the warranty card in a parcel.
Eight template types
LPN, EAN, shipping, declaration, serial number and customs labels, plus a packing list and a warranty card in A4 format.
Visual designer
Elements are placed on a canvas in millimetres. A type can have several templates, with one set as default. The preview opens as a PDF.
Barcodes and QR
Text, QR and Code128, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E and ITF-14 (GTIN-14) barcodes. The shipping label carries an SSCC.
Templates per owner and supplier
When a goods owner or supplier requires its own label layout, a dedicated template is linked to it, so staff do not choose by hand which one to print.
Printing from the barcode register
LPN, EAN with EAN code generation, serial numbers, declarations, an SKU declaration per LPN and printing a barcode range in advance.
Printing from documents
From a receipt: the document, declarations and EAN. From a delivery note: the advance notice, packing list, declarations and EAN.
Printers and workstations
A register of printers — network, local, browser or system — and of workstations. A printer is assigned per workstation and label type, and the user’s choice is remembered.
Server-side printing
The server sends the label PDF to a named printer. Where that is not possible, printing from the browser remains the fallback.
List export
Lists from the barcode register export to CSV and Excel, for checking or further processing.
How a label reaches the goods
Three steps: the first two are done once, the third every day.
- 01
Template
The layout is built in the designer per label type, and where needed for a specific goods owner or supplier.
- 02
Printer
Each workstation is assigned a printer for every label type printed there.
- 03
Print
The label is printed from a document or from the barcode register, as a PDF on the assigned printer.
What changes in practice
The right template without asking
When one warehouse works for several goods owners, each gets its own label. The system picks the template by owner or supplier, not by what someone remembers.
A printer nobody has to look for
The packing station prints shipping labels on its printer and receiving prints LPN labels on its own. Assignment by workstation and label type keeps that fixed.
A range printed in advance
LPN labels for a shift can be printed as a range before work starts, so at receiving and packing they are simply applied and scanned.
Frequently asked questions
Which barcodes do the labels support?
Code128, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E and ITF-14 (GTIN-14), as well as QR codes. The shipping label carries an SSCC.
Can different goods owners have different labels?
Yes. A template is linked to a goods owner or a supplier, and each label type can have several templates with one default.
How is the printer chosen?
A printer is assigned to a workstation for a given label type, and the user’s choice is remembered. The server can send the PDF straight to a named printer, with browser printing as the fallback.
Can I print LPN labels in advance?
Yes. The barcode register prints a range of barcodes, so labels can be prepared before receiving or packing.
