How do I create labels for my bin locations?

Shopware 6 — Create bin location labels directly in the Admin and print them as PDF or generate barcodes for label printers.

Bin location labels help you simplify your warehouse processes even further. For example, during a stocktake or when stocking products, you can easily select the corresponding bin location by scanning it.

You can create bin location labels directly in your Shopware Admin. To do so, go to Warehousing → Warehouses and bin locations and select the warehouse you want. Switch to the Bin locations tab, select the bin locations you want to create labels for if needed, and click Create labels at the top.

Next, you can set the size of the labels:

You will now receive the generated labels, sorted by bin location identifier, as a PDF file to download. The PDF file is optimized for label printers. You can find more information here.

Note: The longer the name of a bin location, the finer the barcode on the label becomes. With very long bin location names, scanners can no longer distinguish the bars. Therefore, keep bin location names as short as possible.

In principle, bin location labels can be created with any tool that can generate barcodes (Code 128). The input must be in the following format:

  • ^3

  • the code of the warehouse

  • $

  • the bin location

For bin location A-01-05 from the main warehouse (HL), this would look like this: ^3HL$A-01-05 .

How can I use Avery Zweckform labels with Pickware?

You can also print bin location labels on label sheets, for example sheets from Avery Zweckform or HERMA. To do so, create a print format for your label sheet and select it when printing. You can find out how in How do I set up label print formats?

Currently, you can only design your own label templates with the template editor for product labels, not yet for bin location labels.
