Stop retyping addresses and barcodes onto labels by hand
If you print shipping, mailing or product labels from a spreadsheet or database, you know how quickly copy-and-paste errors pile up. LabelFlow Label Maker Software from Jolly Technologies is built for that job. It lets you design a label once and fill it from your data.
Quick facts
- Maker: Jolly Technologies
- Platform: Windows (Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista for the version described here)
- Trial: a demo version is available
- Templates: more than 2,500 predefined label layouts
- Barcodes: more than 20 industry standard types
Key features
Start from more than 2,500 ready-made label templates
The template library covers industry standard label sizes, including nearly all Avery products, plus CD labels and badges. You pick your label stock and start designing instead of measuring.
Print more than 20 barcode types
Barcode support covers more than 20 industry standard barcodes, so product, shipping and inventory labels can all come from one program.
Fill labels from your data with mail merge and a built-in database manager
The program offers mail merging, interactive data feeding, serialized text and an integrated database manager. That means a list of addresses or part numbers becomes a run of labels, and numbered labels count up on their own.
Design with shapes, rich text, layers and blending
You get shapes, rich text, layers and blending and other advanced graphics tools, so labels can carry logos and formatted text next to the barcode.
Print to dot matrix, inkjet, laser and thermal printers
Printer support spans dot matrix, inkjet, laser and thermal models, with accelerated printing for bigger runs.
Who it's for
Small offices that mail often, shops that label their own products, and warehouses that need shipping and inventory labels will get the most from it. If you only print a handful of address labels a year, a word processor's label wizard may be enough.
