Print a Label for Each Box
We ship 13,000 units in boxes of 550. I need a label on every box that says "Box 3 of 24" and how many are inside. How do I print them?
Missing Toolkit: Templates works out the boxes for each item on an invoice and prints one label per box. You enter how many fit in a box, and it does the counting.
What you need
- A label template. Start from the free box label template, sized for a 4 by 6 inch Dymo shipping label, or make your own in Word with the page sized to your labels.
Steps
- Add the box placeholders to your label wherever you want them, for example:
Box ${BOX_NUMBER} of ${BOX_COUNT}${BOX_QUANTITY} of ${BOX_TOTAL_QUANTITY} ${LINE_SKU}${SHIPPING_ADDRESS}
- Go to Templates, click Upload Template, and set copies to One label per box. Save it.
- Open the invoice and click Generate Document. Choose your label template.
- Tick the items to label. Service items start unticked, since they don't ship in a box.
- For each item, enter the Units per box. Missing Toolkit: Templates proposes the boxes, such as 23 boxes of 550 and one of 350.
- Change any row if your last boxes hold a different amount. You can also remove a row or add one.
- Click Generate. Every label comes out as its own page, in one file.
Good to know
- An item you leave without box rows gets one label for its whole quantity.
- A partial shipment still prints. The total is shown next to the item's quantity so you can see the difference.
- Box labels print one invoice at a time. They aren't available in batch or scheduled runs.
