This guide is for warehouse staff and administrators. You must be logged in with appropriate permissions to access the Label Designer.
Using the Label Designer
Start a New Template or Load an Existing One
Use the dropdown menu at the top to select an existing label template to modify, or click New Template to start from a blank canvas.
Add Static Elements
On the left sidebar, use the Static Elements panel to drag and drop basic shapes onto the canvas:
- Text: Static text fields (e.g., return addresses).
- Box: Draw borders or containers for your layout.
- Horiz Line: Separators for logical sections of the label.
- Image: Upload custom static imagery like your warehouse logo.
Insert Dynamic Package Data
Under Package Details, click any button to insert a dynamic placeholder. During printing, these placeholders are automatically replaced with the real data from the scanned package:
{{tracking_number}}: The package tracking number{{customer_name}}: The recipient’s full name{{house_number}}: The assigned house number for routing{{weight}}: The package weight{{shipper}}: The vendor/shipper{{date}}: The current printing date
Add Barcodes and QR Codes
Under Scannable Codes, insert tracking barcodes or QR codes. By default, these encode the package’s tracking number. However, you can select the barcode in the workspace and use the right-hand Properties panel to change the Data / Text field to encode any dynamic value (e.g.,
{{house_number}}).Preview Your Label
Click the Preview Print button at the top. Shiipp will generate a live print-ready view of your layout injected with mock data. This lets you precisely verify text wrapping and barcode scaling before taking the label live.
