Print and bind many labels
Labelling a whole garage one container at a time is slow. Instead, print a batch of blank labels first, stick one on each box, and bind them afterwards by scanning each sticker and saying which box it is on.
1. Print a batch
Section titled “1. Print a batch”On the Scan tab tap Print labels.
| Format | Output | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| A4 sheet | A PDF with 21 labels per page (3 × 7, 63.5 × 38.1 mm), 1 to 10 pages | Matches Avery L7160 sheets. On plain paper, turn on Cut lines. Print at 100% (“actual size”), not “fit to page”. |
| Niimbot | One image per label (400 × 240 dots at 203 dpi, for 50 × 30 mm labels), or a PDF with one label per page | For the Niimbot B1. Share the images to the Niimbot app. |
Each label shows the QR and a short code (such as A45E B869) so you can match a sticker by eye. Earlier batches are listed with how
many labels are bound; you can Reprint or Remove them. Reprinting gives the same labels, so a second copy of a sticker opens the
same container.
2. Stick them on
Section titled “2. Stick them on”Put one on each box. Nothing is bound yet: the codes are just random IDs.
3. Bind them
Section titled “3. Bind them”On the Scan tab tap Bind many labels, then Start scanning.
- Scan a sticker. You feel a tap and a list of boxes opens.
- Tap the box it is on. A box that has places inside it opens when tapped (it shows a ›). Inside, Label “…” itself binds the place you are in. You can also search by name.
- The camera comes straight back for the next sticker, with a confirmation.
Good to know:
- The list opens where you last bound, and lists boxes without a label first.
- Pull down on the list to check the server for boxes you just added. It also refreshes by itself when it is a few minutes old.
- A sticker that is already bound is reported and never silently rebound.
- Undo last takes back the most recent bind. Skip this sticker leaves it unassigned.
- When you tap Done, you get a list of what you labelled this session.
