Printing Product/Price/Barcode Labels with BlueBox

BlueBox has a nifty Product/Price/Barcode label printing and new Label Template management module.

Find this module on the Inventory Dashboard:

Firstly we'll look at creating and managing Label Templates:

You can add as many templates as you require.

When adding a label template follow these guidelines:

• The template should be created using CSS with metric sizing (ie mm).
  
  
• Remember that padding on DIV boxes increases the overall size of the box, so rather nest embedded DIVs if you want to add padding to an exact-sized external DIV.
• Image links should include the full URL (ie from HTTP://)
• You can add template-specific settings which will over-ride the label printing parameters:
  
  

Now that you have a template there are 2 scenarios for printing labels:

• Printing labels for stock/items from inventory or item-data
  
  You'd use this method to print price-labels, barcode-labels, shelf-labels etc
• Printing labels from the items listed on a document
  
  You'd use this method to print labels for goods received or goods despatched normally.

Printing Labels for Stock/Items:

• Use the filter to select the item/s you want to print labels for:
  
  
• View the list and apply the settings you require for your labels (if they have not already been applied by the template if you selected one in the previous filter):
  
  
• View, print or send to PDF as required.

Printing Labels from Documents:

• You can print labels directly from the document view:
  
  
• Or you can search for the required document by using the filter:
  
  
  
  
• Once you have selected the document or clicked directly through from the button in the document view, you will see a list of all the items on the document. Apply the settings you require for your labels (if they have not already been applied by the template if you selected one in the previous filter).
  
  
• View, print or send to PDF as required.

Setting Label Template Defaults within Item Data:

• You can specify within each item what it's default label template is, and this template will be used whenever the label engine is run and no specific template is selected:
  
  
  
• You can also toggle an item as 'requires label reprint' (as per screenshot above) and if this is set to yes the item will be listed when the filter for 'Print Labels for Stock/Items' is set:
  
  
  
• Once the label print-run has been sent then all the 'yes' flags on these items will automatically be set back to 'no'.
