Label printing
Eliminate printing errors and improve print productivity
The true cost of labeling is the cost associated with printing errors, mislabeling and even product recalls or fines. Other costs that should also be taken into account are labor and training.
Best practice is to minimize these costs by integrating and automating label printing with your existing business applications or, for manual printing, customizing the printing interface to the user’s and the processes’ needs.

Rich and responsive text objects
NiceLabel automatically wraps your text or adjusts font size to ensure your dynamic data fits into the designated area.
All the languages you need
Every part of NiceLabel supports foreign languages including its user interface, help system and user guides. Label content can by printed in any language with multiple languages appearing on the same label.
Powerful, unique features
Intelligent features like; relative object positioning, variable label length and double-sided printing help reduce the number of template variations you need to create.
Data – ensure accuracy and minimize errors
Designing and printing labels is a critical business function. Data accuracy is essential and best practice is to minimize or eliminate manual data entry and avoid changes to label templates at the point of printing. NiceLabel recommends that you separate the label template design and label data.
Use an Excel spreadsheet or a database to host your data instead of designing a different label template for each product. NiceLabel is the only vendor that provides spreadsheet and database connectivity across its entire product line.
Database connectivity
Anyone can connect to an Excel spreadsheet or an Access database using the NiceLabel wizard. Advanced users can connect labels with server databases.
- Easily connect to Excel and text files
- Connect to SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL
- OLE DB and ODBC provide connectivity to almost any other database
- Connection to multiple databases and tables on the same label
- Import dynamic graphics from databases (BLOB)
- Custom SQL data queries for advanced queries
Data validation, formatting and processing
You often need to print data in a particular format; sometimes joined into a single text or barcode object (i.e. for serialization). This also may be required to comply with industry or customer requirements. NiceLabel helps you meet these needs by providing functions configured via wizards instead of requiring coding.
- Configurable variables, data-entry rules and error checking
- GS1-128 barcode wizard for shipper box labels
- Functions for easy data manipulation and concatenation, and for industry standards including GS1, ANSI, HIBC
- Advanced VB or Python scripting for custom or special needs
Controlled printing reduces errors and improves productivity
NiceLabel’s all-inclusive suite of Design & Controlled Print software provides business users with a graphical label and form designer, controlled manual printing application and automation builder for integrating with existing business systems.
This powerful functionality removes the need for programmers to develop their own custom printing front-end or integration applications, which are difficult and costly to maintain. Business users can rapidly create a printing solution that streamlines label printing, prevents errors and mislabeling, reduces labor costs and improves overall print productivity.
Why forms?
Reduce manual printing efforts and achieve new levels of accuracy
Businesses can significantly reduce manual printing effort and achieve new levels of accuracy and control by using PowerForms unmatched on-demand print capabilities. PowerForms features empower business users to create custom printing applications, streamline complex printing processes and eliminating errors.
Prevent printing errors
Users can initiate on-demand printing via a simple scan, touch or minimal data entry and preview the results to ensure accuracy and speed of printing. Label preview offers a visual aide, displaying the entire print job to provide verification of labels to reduce the occurrence of mislabeling. This all helps remove the “guess work” from the print operator while reducing the occurrence of mislabeling.
Simplify the print process for nonskilled workers
Make it easy for nonskilled or seasonal workers to print your labels. Build a printing solution that uses images and icons to replace text or use buttons and touchscreen to remove the need for keyboard skills. You can rapidly onboard new print operators with minimal to no training.
Streamline complex printing processes
Custom forms allow end users to make the necessary decisions to print exactly what they want, when they want it, without deviating from a standard process or workflow. This reduces the manual printing efforts, improves the speed of printing and print productivity.
Maintain label integrity
When operators use printing forms, they don’t have access to the label template, so they can’t accidentally or intentionally modify the label layout or important label content.
Minimize manual data entry
Instead of requiring print operators to manually change label content, connect labels to a database and simplify data entry and selection. Consider initiating on-demand printing via a simple scan or press of a touch screen.
Responsive, touchscreen-ready interface
Resizable buttons and other controls enable you to create a form that adapts automatically to any screen resolution or size.
Made for labeling
Real-time data preview inside of the same forms ensures the user can verify if the label template and data are correct before printing.
