Printing part labels
Last updated: · By: the moducut team
A part label is the small label stuck on each cut part, carrying the part’s name, cabinet, size, material and barcode. moducut produces labels from the cut list; one label comes out for every physical part.
Short answer
Printing labels
- Press Production › Cut and open the Labels tab. A preview of the labels and the total label count appear.
- Check the part names and sizes in the preview.
- Press Print Labels; the button shows how many labels will be printed.
- In the print dialog, choose your label printer or printer.
The Label button in Nesting Results prints the same labels. If there are no parts to label, a "No parts to label" warning appears.
What does the label show?
- Part and cabinet. The part’s name and the name of the cabinet it belongs to.
- Size. Width × length × thickness, in mm.
- Material and banding. The material name and banded edges.
- Holes and back side. The number of holes on the part; if there is work on face B, the REVERSE SIDE note.
- Barcode. A Code 39 barcode with a short part code below it, for example M01P03: the number after M is the module’s order and the number after P is the part’s.
If there are several of the same part, a copy number is added to the code. Panels without a carcass are added to the end of the list with a P code. If you entered several units for a module with Set Quantity, a separate label comes out for each unit.
Label templates
You choose the template in the Label Layout section of the Settings › General Settings › Label page. A4 sheet templates have 4, 8, 10, 14, 16, 21, 24 and 40 labels per sheet; roll templates are 100 × 50, 80 × 50 and 60 × 40 mm. On a roll, one label is printed per page, so the label printer’s page size is the label size.
Two more settings on the same page:
- Material Name. The template for the material name written on the label.
- Double-Sided Parts. With Print 2 labels for double-sided parts on, a second, identical label is printed for a part with holes or grooves on both faces, so a label stays on the other face when the part is flipped.
Barcode scheme
While Production Line Setup is active, label barcodes follow the scheme you chose on the Barcode and Output tab: 9 digits (project 4, cabinet 2, part 3) or 12 digits (project 6, cabinet 3, part 3). If the line is not active, labels use the short M and P code.
Frequently asked questions
No. moducut labels have a Code 39 barcode and a readable part code.
The cut list groups parts of the same size on one row; a label comes out for each physical part. So a row with a quantity of 4 gives 4 labels.
