Design and Print Labels

Labels print through a template engine: Biznsbook uses your company's default template for the label type, falling back to a system default, and finally to a built-in layout if nothing's configured — so a label always prints, even with no setup at all.

Design a template​

  1. Go to Label Templates → Add Template — this needs Manage access.
  2. Set the label's width, height, and margin in millimeters — any size is supported.
  3. Add fields as text, live-data tokens, barcodes, or divider lines, each with its own font size, bold, alignment, and position. You can mix literals and tokens in one field, for example Lot: {{BatchNumber}} Exp: {{ExpiryDate}}.
  4. Choose from around 25 tokens — item name, barcode, SKU, UPC, GTIN-14, net and gross weight, country of origin, batch and expiry, carton number and tracking, ship-to details, and more — plus four barcode tokens: Code 128, EAN-13, GS1-128, and QR. The editor lists every available token.
  5. Set the order each field appears in, then Save. Warnings flag an unknown token, an invalid barcode size, empty fields, or bad dimensions.

Preview, set default, and manage​

  • Preview renders the template to a sample PDF with placeholder data — check it before using it for real.
  • Set Default makes it the active template for its type, so new labels of that type print with it.
  • Toggle activates or deactivates your own templates. The built-in system templates (Product, Carton, Shipping) can be previewed and set as default, but not edited or deactivated — clone one to customize it instead.
  • Product label — a 50 × 30 mm PDF with a barcode. Print it from a spec's Label action or from an item, adding ?copies=N for multiple copies or ?templateId=N for a specific template.
  • Carton / shipping label — prints from a saved cartonization result using Print Carton Label.

Every print — from a spec, item, or carton — is logged in Label Templates → Print History: template, reference, copies, status, and who printed it. It's append-only and never edited or deleted.
