CUTL prints a scannable label for every part, straight from a job, so parts, remnants and boxes carry their own identity from cut to dispatch. Labels are generated from your own label templates: you choose the size, the layout and what appears on each label, and CUTL fills in the part's data and produces a print-ready PDF.
Label templates
Templates are set up once for your team and reused every time you print. Each template defines three things:
- Label size, from six presets: A4 sheet of 4 (105 x 148 mm), A4 sheet of 8 (105 x 74 mm), 100 x 50 mm strip, 58 x 60 mm standard, 75 x 120 mm logistics, and 58 x 30 mm mini.
- Page mode: an A4 sheet of labels for an ordinary office printer, or fit-to-label for a thermal roll printer.
- Zones: what sits where on the label. A zone can show a property (part name, material, thickness, quantity, project or order code, article number), an image (the part thumbnail), a QR code or a barcode. QR and barcode are optional zones, so a template can carry either, both or neither.
Output is a PDF, so it prints on anything from the office laser printer to a dedicated thermal label printer. No special hardware is required.
What a part label carries
Part values are filled from the part's own record, so the static fields are never re-typed: name, material and thickness, quantity, project and order codes, article number, and the part's thumbnail (the actual shape, recognisable at a glance).
Printing labels
Labels come straight from a job or a production shift, so they always match what you are actually cutting:
Dispatch and shipping labels
A template can also include dispatch fields that are typed in at print time rather than pulled from the part record: recipient name, delivery address, carrier, weight, volume, tracking number, and a free-text line. That turns the same label system into packing and shipping labels for finished orders, with the part data still filled in automatically underneath.
Why it helps
- Nothing gets mixed up. Every part and offcut carries its own identity from cut to dispatch.
- Faster handling. Pickers and operators scan instead of reading paperwork.
- Traceable. Each scan links back to the record, so you always know what a part is and where it belongs.
Labels close the loop from quoting to the shop floor. To see where the parts on a label come from, read Shifts & production data.
