Overview

Print & Apply lets warehouse teams route packing station output directly to an LP (License Plate — a scannable label used to track a group of items as a single unit) label instead of a pre-produced or carrier label. This is designed for warehouses using print-and-apply hardware at the packing station, where the label applied to the package on the conveyor needs to match the LP that Logiwa IO creates for that package.

When to Use It

Use Print & Apply when:

Your packing station uses print-and-apply hardware that applies labels directly to packages on a conveyor
You need the printed label to always match the LP created for each package, rather than a pre-produced or carrier label
You want this behavior controlled per packing station location, without changing your existing label matching setup for other stations

Prerequisites

Before enabling Print & Apply, ensure:

Your user account has permission to edit Locations
You know which packing station location(s) should use print-and-apply hardware
⚠️ Verify against live system before publishing: confirm whether an active LP label design must already exist for the client before this can be enabled

Step-by-Step Instructions

Navigate to Settings → Location.
Open an existing packing station location by clicking into it, or click Create to add a new one.
On the Information tab, locate Print & Apply on Packing (next to Lock Location, Single Client, and Color Code).
Toggle Print & Apply on Packing to Yes.
- Use the info icon next to the field for a quick reminder of what it does.
Click Save.
Confirm: on the Packing Station Dashboard, when you open the packing station picker, this location now displays a Print & Apply label.

Printing Behavior by Scenario

Print & Apply on Packing	Use Pre-produced Labels in Multi Box Packing	Scenario	What Gets Printed
Yes	Yes	Pre-produced label count matches package count	An LP label prints for every package, using the matched pre-produced tracking numbers. Pre-produced labels are not printed.
Yes	Yes	More packages than pre-produced labels	An LP label prints for every package. Packages beyond the pre-produced label count get a system-generated tracking number. Pre-produced labels are not printed.
Yes	Yes	Fewer packages than pre-produced labels	An LP label prints for each package created. Unused pre-produced labels are not printed.
Yes	No	Any multi-package order	An LP label prints for every package, each with a system-generated tracking number. Pre-produced labels are not printed.
Yes	Yes or No	No pre-produced labels attached	Logiwa IO requests carrier tracking numbers, then prints an LP label for every package. Carrier labels are not printed.
No	Yes	Pre-produced labels available	⚠️ Existing behavior is unchanged: pre-produced labels print according to standard matching rules; no LP label is printed.
No	No	No pre-produced labels attached	⚠️ Existing behavior is unchanged: carrier labels print for each package.

💡 In every "Yes" row above, LP creation and tracking number logic work exactly as they do today — only the printed label changes.

Common Questions & Edge Cases

What happens if there are multiple active LP label designs?
Logiwa IO prints the most recently created active LP label design.

What if the LP label fails to print?
⚠️ Verify against live system before publishing: packing complete should still succeed and the LP should still be created, but you'll see a message asking you to reprint the LP label from the LP detail screen.

Does this affect single-box packing or other packing flows?
⚠️ Verify against live system before publishing: this feature is scoped to Multi Box Packing (Outbound) as of this writing.
