Frequently asked questions
How should I structure the location code?
A common scheme is aisle-rack-level-bin (e.g. A-12-03-B). Edit the text and barcode in the editor to match your numbering.
Should the text or the barcode be bigger?
Both matter: keep the text large for human picking and the barcode sized for your scanners. This template balances the two.
Can I colour-code zones?
Thermal printing is monochrome, but you can use bold zone letters or borders, or print on coloured label stock.
