Materials Management Labels

Materials management labels are created using pre-designed templates. The list of available templates is based on the label cartridge you have selected.

You can add, edit, or delete any text, barcode, image, or shape objects on the label.

Formatting only applies to the currently selected object.

Use Serialize to automatically create a series of labels.

Materials management labels can only be printed on 3/4" (19 mm) and wider continuous or pre-sized labels. You can also print materials management labels on LabelWriter Durable Labels with the LabelWriter 4XL label printer.

The label properties you can set are:
