Linnworks enables you to design your own postage labels, insert PPI or barcoded postage stamp onto the label and include order id (barcoded or plait) for tracability. This guide describes how to design your own generic postage label. The system can print on virtually any printer and allows you to design A4 sheet of labels.
To open label designer go to Settings > Postage Integration. This screen will open up label designer screen.
First you will need to create a label sheet. This is a definition of sheet with your labels which describes how many labels on the sheet, how these are arrange and defines all appropriate margins. To create new label sheet click New next to the Label Sheets drop down box.
Once the sheet is created, select this sheet from the drop down box. The label designer size will change to the size of the single label.
The designer allows you to drag and drop components of the label onto the label layout and adjust each element's property and positions.
On the left handside you have all the elements you can create on the label. There are essentially three types of elements
On the right handside, Properties box you can specify properties for each element, for example for text of the fixed text label, font, size of the font etc.
To start designing a label, drag and drop Fixed Section onto the designer layout. Fixed section is the layout boundaries in which all element can appear. Make sure the size of the fixed section fits into the boundaries of the label, other wise you might receive error "The print has reached its maximum 25 pages. This could be because the printing area is smaller than the boundary of the defined format. Review the template as all the printed pages will be empty
You can preview a single label layout by clicking on Preview sub tab at the bottom of the screen. Or preview the whole sheet by clicking Preview Sheet
Before saving the sheet make sure you have selected the printer which will be used to print generic labels by default.
To create barcoded label, create a text as normal or drag and drop variable on to the layout. Select the label (highlighted with red borders), navigate to Properties section of the screen and select Font item from the properties. Select font 3 of 9 Barcode, the system will automatically render this label as barcoded label and insert subtext under the label boundaries with the actual label value.
