Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize template layouts?

Yes, templates are starting points that can be customized. Adjust field positions, add or remove information elements, and modify sizes to match your specific requirements.

What label printers are compatible?

Templates work with standard label printers including Zebra, Brother, Dymo, and thermal transfer printers. PDF output is universally compatible.

How do I integrate with inventory software?

Export label data as CSV for import into inventory management systems. Many systems can also print directly from the generated PDF templates.

Can I save templates for reuse?

Downloaded templates can be saved and reused. For ongoing inventory management, save your configured template and update data as needed.

What barcode format is best for inventory?

Code 128 is recommended for most inventory applications. It is compact, supports all characters, and is widely supported by scanners. Code 39 works with legacy systems.

How do I handle location hierarchies?

Use structured location codes (e.g., A-01-02-03 for Aisle 1, Bay 2, Shelf 3). Generate barcodes for each level of the hierarchy to support flexible scanning workflows.
