How to apply the labels

Put one label on each carton. Match the carton number on the label (for example 3 of 8) to the box that holds that SKU.
Stick it on the side of the box, not the top. Keep it flat, away from seams, edges and tape.
Don't cover the big barcode at the bottom. The retailer scans it at their warehouse.
If a label prints badly, reprint it from Setup & history. Never make up a new carton number for the same box.

Label 1 of 1

Live preview. The big barcode at the bottom is the carton ID (SSCC). Its number is assigned when you print.

Setup & history

Print history

Reprinting uses the same carton ID numbers as the original labels, which is what you want for a damaged or missing label.

A carton ID (SSCC) must never be reused. Numbers are used up when you print or get ZPL, even if the print is canceled. Gaps are normal and safe.
