FAQ
Which fields are required?
Only the barcode value is required. All other fields are optional.

Label fields that matter in operations
Receiving clerks need barcode value and product name; pickers need bin location; quality teams need lot or batch when traceability applies. Toggle only fields your process reads — crowded labels scan slower and mislead during cycle counts.
Export formats and print setup
PNG suits thermal printers and quick tests; PDF batches shelf sets; SVG helps design teams adjust typography before mass print. Preview at actual label dimensions — scaling in the print dialog shrinks quiet zones and causes scan failures.
Worked scenario
A cold-storage facility labels 80 pallets with SKU, lot, expiry, and location QR codes. They export PDF, print on 100×50 mm stock, and attach labels before put-away so WMS scans match physical bins on first pass.
Operational FAQ
When should I add a QR code instead of linear barcode?
Use QR when the encoded payload is a URL or multi-field JSON for mobile apps. Linear barcodes remain faster for dedicated laser scanners on pick lines.
Can I hide price on warehouse-only labels?
Yes. Disable price in field settings — many internal labels omit commercial data to reduce mis-picks during bulk moves.
