We’re excited to announce recent enhancements to the consignment label PDF document template, providing greater flexibility in barcode generation. This update allows you to generate barcodes based on a combination of multiple placeholders and fixed values, as required.

Key Features:

  • Custom Barcodes with Placeholders & Fixed Values: You can now create barcodes using placeholders alongside fixed values to tailor your label format.

  • Consistent Length for $PAGE$ and $PAGES$ Placeholders: This update also introduces formatting options for the $PAGE$ and $PAGES$ placeholders, enabling left or right padding. This ensures these placeholders maintain a consistent length and can be incorporated into barcodes.

An example of this type of barcode includes: 

CI2015CTNCLD0000000057001004

  • C1 is a fixed value

  • 2015 is the delivery post code

  • CTNCLD0000000057 is the barcode 

  • 001 is the PAGE number left padded with 0 to 3 characters

  • 004 is the total PAGES left padded with 0 to 3 characters

This is achieved in the Document Template with the following:

${CI}TO_CODE|BARCODE|PAGE0L3|PAGES0L3:BC128$

  • The whole barcode value is enclosed in $$

  • Fixed values enclosed in {}

  • and Placeholder names are separated by |

Please note: These enhancements currently apply only to consignment PDF labels.
