Use Intelligent Templates™ to simplify labelling
BarTender lets you print hundreds or thousands of label types from a few templates. Intelligent Templates™ are flexible and easy to use. They improve design quality, reduce label maintenance, and maximize printing performance. Above all they eliminate the need to create and maintain hundreds of separate design documents.
BatTender has powerful design logic to tells templates, layers and even objects when to print. Each action can be based on a single data source or database field, or on multiple conditions.
Intelligent Templates™ equip you with powerful capabilities to: password protect layers and prevent unauthorized edits; share incrementing serial numbers and global data fields among documents; use autofit intelligence to wrap variable length text around objects, or inside them.
Case study
The Yaskawa case study explains how Ysskawa uses a few intelligent templates to label its transistor inverter products instead of a huge number of label designs. This enabled Yaskawa to automate barcode label printing on its production lines.
