Print Labels

ThreadCloud prints a hang tag for every item you receive: stock-type badge, season code, barcode, SKU and supplier ref, size, colour, brand, and price. You print from the receiving screen. There are three ways to print, ranked best to fallback.

The hang tag’s layout is set by the label designer in Settings, so the exact fields on your tag may differ from the example below.

Option 1 — Dymo hang tag (preferred)

The default. A Dymo 30336 label printer, 54×25mm hang tags.

  1. Finish receiving (see Receiving). On the success screen, click Print labels.
  2. A new tab opens with the hang tags — one per received unit (receive 5 of size L, you get 5 tags for that size).
  3. Press Ctrl+P.
  4. Select the Dymo printer; confirm the size is the Dymo 30336 (54×25mm).
  5. Print.

What’s on the hang tag

A typical tag shows:

  • A stock-type badge (NOS, STOCK, MTO, or CUSTOM) and the season code
  • Brand, style name, and price
  • Size (with the scale it’s in, e.g. IT/US) and colour
  • The barcode, with the SKU and the supplier reference printed underneath it, side by side (SKU on the left, supplier ref on the right, no prefix on the ref) — useful for cross-checking against a paper linesheet without scanning
  • Optional badges (e.g. “Dry Clean”, “Made in Italy”) if your tag design includes them

Change what’s on the tag
The hang tag is configurable. Open Settings and find the label designer to choose which fields print, adjust the layout, and set the printer. The Owner usually sets this up once.

Option 2 — Avery 5160 sheet labels (printer-agnostic fallback)

If the Dymo dies, runs out, jams, or isn’t available.

  1. Buy Avery 5160 sheet labels (30-up, 1×2⅝ inches) from any office supply store.
  2. Load them into any regular laser/inkjet printer.
  3. Click Print labels in ThreadCloud as usual.
  4. In the print dialog: select your normal printer, set paper to Letter, scale to 100%.
  5. Print.

Heads up
The tag is sized for the Dymo. On Avery sheets you’ll get the same tag but the layout shifts (one tag per slot, with whitespace). It’s a working fallback, not a perfect match. Test one sheet before printing a stack.

Option 3 — Shopify Admin barcode print (last resort)

When neither the Dymo nor a backup is available. This works because ThreadCloud writes the SKU into the Shopify variant barcode field on every push.

  1. Open Shopify Admin → Products.
  2. In the search bar, type tag:tc-order-247 — replace 247 with your order’s ID (find it in the ThreadCloud order URL).
  3. Select the rows that need labels.
  4. Click More actions → Print barcode labels.
  5. Choose a label size (Avery 5160 is safest), choose products and variants, print.

You lose brand and colour, but keep size, SKU, barcode, and price — enough to identify and ring up each item.

Reprinting tags later

You don’t have to print at receive time. To reprint:

  • Open Logistics and use the Reprint Tags tile — it lands on the shipment so you can print its tags again.
  • Or open the order’s receiving log, find the shipment, and print from there.

This reprints the tags for that shipment. To reprint just a few, print the sheet and discard the rest, or use the Shopify Admin fallback to cherry-pick by variant.

If it goes wrong

Print scale set to “Fit to page”
This shrinks the barcode below scannable size. Set scale to 100% / Actual Size in the print dialog.

Tags won’t print after a while
The print link is time-limited. If it stops working, go back to the shipment and open Print labels again to get a fresh link.
