Linnworks enables you to design your own postage labels, insert PPI or bar-coded 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.

Create new Label Sheet
This is a definition of a sheet with your labels which describes how many labels on the sheet, how these are arranged and defines all appropriate margins. To create a new label sheet click New next to the Label Sheets drop down box.
For example we create a 4 label sheet. That means 2 rows and 2 columns, with width 5 and height 4.
If you have a single label printer (for example DYMO) you will have to specify the size of the label. Create new sheet, unmark Single Label, specify the size of the labels and set number of rows and columns to 1.
Choose the default printer for your labels
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.
Design your own 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 hand-side you have all the elements you can create on the label. There are essentially three types of elements
Tables. For example order item, since an order can have multiple items the section created using table element will be repeated on the label for each order item
Static. These are decorative elements of the label: Fixed text, image (including PPI stamp), lines and other graphical objects
Variable. Elements that get populated from the information from the order. These can be customer shipping address, order id purchase date etc. Each is unique to the order for which the label is printed
Each object on the template (postal service, order ID) must be placed within a fixed section. To insert a variable element just click on it and by holding the mouse button drag it into the label.
While having the object selected you can change the properties of the object on the right hand-side. You can change appearance (alignment, font background), borders (coluor, margains, size), conditions (visibility condition), layout (location, size).
You can delete the objects from label by selecting the object and pressing Del key.
Lets now insert a table container which will list the information about the ordered item. Remember, at first you have to create a table container and then place table fields into it.
Don't forget to Save any changes you made!

You can select multiple orders and click Process, for each order a label will be printed automatically.
