Overview
The Print SKU Label feature allows you to generate and print barcode labels for your order items directly from the Orders Manager. This feature supports 29 printer brands with 63 label sizes plus a Custom size option, customizable label content, and barcode encoding options to streamline your fulfillment workflow.

Selecting Your Printer
In the Printer Settings section, click on your printer brand from the grid of available brands
Select the specific label size/model from the radio buttons below the brand selection
If your printer model is not listed, select Custom size and enter your label dimensions manually
Note: When using custom sizes, ensure your physical label stock matches the entered dimensions. The system supports both millimeters (mm) and inches (in) as measurement units.
Template Presets
Save your label configurations as presets for quick reuse across different printing sessions:
Configure all your label settings (printer, barcode encoding, field selection, etc.)
Click Save as Preset next to the preset dropdown
Type a descriptive name in the Preset name box (e.g., "Warehouse Labels", "Retail Labels")
Click Save to store the configuration (the button reads Save Preset)
To use a saved preset:
Click the Select Template Preset dropdown
Choose your saved preset from the list
All settings will automatically populate
To delete a preset, click the trash icon next to the preset name in the dropdown, then click Delete in the box "Are you sure you want to delete this preset?".
Note: Presets are saved server-side and persist across sessions. They are company-scoped, meaning all team members in your company can access shared presets. A preset does not remember Hide Barcode Value, and applying one places the fields on Line 1 and Line 2 again.
Barcode Configuration
Barcode Value Field
Choose which product field to use as the barcode value:
SKU - Product SKU (default)
UPC - Universal Product Code
EAN - European Article Number
MPN - Manufacturer Part Number
Barcode Encoding
Select the barcode encoding format that matches your scanning requirements:
Code 128 (default) - Supports all ASCII characters, most versatile for custom SKUs
Code 39 - Alphanumeric encoding
EAN-13 - Requires 12-13 digits, validates checksum automatically
EAN-8 - Requires 7-8 digits, validates checksum automatically
UPC - Requires 11-12 digits, validates checksum automatically
ITF - Requires 13-14 digits, validates checksum automatically
QR Code - 2D barcode format, supports any text content
Critical: The system performs real-time validation for EAN, UPC, and ITF formats. If you see a validation warning (e.g., \"Requires 12 or 13 digits\" or \"Invalid checksum\"), ensure your barcode value field contains data that matches the encoding requirements. For custom alphanumeric values, use Code 128 or Code 39 encoding.
Barcode Display Options
Display barcode symbol - Toggle to show or hide the barcode graphic
Hide Barcode Value - Toggle to show or hide the text below the barcode
These options work independently, allowing you to display the symbol without text, or vice versa.
Number of Copies
Set how many copies of each label to print (1 to 10, default: 1). For label sheets, this controls "Copies of the sheet page". For continuous roll printers, this controls the number of barcodes per item.
Label Content Configuration
Available Fields
You can include any combination of these fields on your labels:
Product name - Product title
Price - Product price
SKU - Product SKU
Vendor - Vendor name
Brand - Product brand
MPN - Manufacturer Part Number
UPC - Universal Product Code
EAN - European Article Number
Bin Location - Warehouse bin location (prints empty if the order has no data for it)
Shipping Address - Order shipping address (prints empty if the order has no data for it)
Line Layout
Organize fields across two lines:
Line 1 (required): This is the main line. Typically used for primary information (Product name, Price, SKU)
Line 2: Optional. Used for additional information (Vendor, Brand, Bin Location, etc.)
You can customize which fields appear on each line. Fields can appear on both lines if needed.
Note: The system uses intelligent data extraction with fallback logic. All ten fields are always in the Add field list. If the order has no data for a field (e.g., Bin Location or Shipping Address), that field prints empty. Data is extracted from order items, transactions, and order-level fields in priority order.
Label Preview
The preview panel shows exactly how your label will look:
Updates in real-time as you change settings
Shows actual product data from the selected order(s)
Displays barcode symbol and text
Shows printing details including sheet layout and copies information
Important: The browser preview may differ slightly from the printed output due to different rendering engines. The PDF generation uses exact dimensions and fonts. Always print a test page first before printing large batches.
Printing Labels
Single Order or Small Batches (10 or fewer orders)
Configure all settings in the Print SKU Label dialog
Click Print Label
The PDF will open in a new browser tab
Use your browser's print function (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P) to print
Large Batches (More than 10 orders)
Select multiple orders (more than 10) before opening the dialog
Configure settings (applies to all selected orders)
Click Print Label
The system processes labels in the background using the bulk action system
You'll receive a notification when processing is complete
Troubleshooting
Barcode Won't Scan
Verify the encoding type matches the value field (EAN-13 needs EAN value, not SKU)
Check that the barcode value isn't empty or contains invalid characters
Try using Code 128 encoding for custom/alphanumeric values
Ensure the barcode value meets the encoding requirements (digit count, checksum validation)
Labels Print in Wrong Size
Verify your physical label stock matches the selected dimensions
Check browser print settings (margins, scale, paper size)
For custom sizes, ensure the unit (mm vs inches) is correct
Some printers require specific driver settings - check printer documentation
Preview Looks Different from Print
Browser preview uses different rendering than PDF generation
PDF generation uses exact dimensions and fonts
Always print a test page to verify before printing large batches
Check browser zoom level - it should be at 100%
Can't Select Certain Fields
Some fields (Bin Location, Shipping Address) print empty if the order has no data for them
Check the order data structure - fields are extracted from transactions/items with fallback logic
If a field prints empty, that order has no data for it
Preset Disappeared
If a preset is missing, it may have been deleted by another user
Check that you're logged into the correct account/company
Try refreshing the page or logging out and back in
PDF Generation Failed
If generation fails, check your internet connection
Verify that the order data contains valid product information
Contact support if the error persists
Best Practices
Create Presets: Save common label configurations as presets to save time on repeated printing tasks
Test First: Always print a test label before printing large batches to verify dimensions and layout
Match Stock: Ensure label dimensions match your physical label stock for accurate printing
Use Code 128: For custom SKUs or alphanumeric values, Code 128 is the most compatible encoding format
Check Data: Verify product data (SKU, UPC, EAN) is complete before printing to avoid empty barcodes
Browser Settings: Set browser print margins to "None" or "Minimum" for best results
Printer Drivers: Ensure printer drivers are up to date, especially for Bixolon and BESTEASY printers
Batch Processing: For large batches (10+ orders), allow time for background processing to complete
