Print piece labels

2 min read Updated 2026-08-21 WindoorERP 19.0

What this does

Puts an identity on every piece and every finished unit, so material can be traced from the saw to the elevation it belongs to.

Steps

  1. 01
    Open the manufacturing order or the analysed line.
  2. 02
    Choose the label format your printer uses.
  3. 03
    Print piece labels with the cutting list, before the pieces leave the saw.
  4. 04
    Print unit labels for the finished windows before they are moved to dispatch.
  5. 05
    Check one label against the drawing before printing the batch.

What belongs on a label

  • The order and unit reference — whose window, and which one.
  • The position — the elevation or opening it fits, which is what the installer needs.
  • A barcode, so the next station scans rather than types.

Example

Three villas on one site take delivery the same morning. Labelled by unit and position, the crew loads by villa and fits in sequence. Unlabelled, the same load becomes an afternoon of trial fitting.

Common mistakes

  • Printing labels before the design is frozen, so the label contradicts the unit.
  • Labelling finished units but not cut pieces, which is where the confusion actually starts.
  • Putting the label where it is destroyed by glazing or handling.
