Inventory Labels

Use inventory labels to track products stored anywhere in your facility - from vault rooms to processing areas.

Example 1 - Basic Inventory Label:
"Create a 2x3 inch label with the product name in bold at the top, lot number below it, and a barcode at the bottom. Include the quantity and room location on the right side."

Example 3 - Vault Room Tracking:
"Design a simple label with large text showing the lot number and product type. Include the weight, room assignment, and shelf location. Add a barcode for scanning."

Order Labels

Order labels help identify customer orders during picking, packing, and staging for delivery.

Example 1 - Customer Order Label:
"Create a 4x6 label with the order number in large bold text at the top. Below that show the customer name, order date, and total items. Add a barcode at the bottom for scanning during fulfillment."

Shipment Labels

Shipment labels identify packages leaving your facility and provide carrier information.

Sample Labels

Sample labels identify products sent to laboratories for testing and help track chain of custody.

Wholesale Labels

Wholesale labels identify bulk shipments to other licensed cannabis facilities.

Example 1 - Wholesale Package Label:
"Create a large label showing manifest number prominently. Include our license number, recipient license number, product description, and net weight. Add a barcode and package date."

Destruction Item Labels

Destruction labels mark products scheduled for compliant disposal and support audit documentation.

Example 3 - Audit-Ready Destruction:
"I need a destruction label showing lot info, destruction batch ID, scheduled date, approving manager name, and witness requirement note. Include both the original package date and destruction request date."

Received Inventory Labels

Received inventory labels mark incoming products from suppliers and vendors.

Example 1 - Incoming Shipment Label:
"Create a label showing supplier name, receiving date, and purchase order number. Include product description, quantity received, and receiving employee initials. Add a barcode for inventory entry."

Example 2 - Supplier Product Label:
"Design a receiving label with supplier license number, product type, and incoming lot number. Show received weight versus ordered weight, receiving date, and manifest reference."

Vessel Labels

Vessel labels identify individual containers used in processing and storage.

Example 1 - Container Identification:
"Create a small label with vessel ID prominently displayed. Show current contents (strain or product type), fill date, and current weight. Add a barcode for quick scanning."

Example 2 - Processing Vessel Label:
"Design a vessel label showing container number, capacity, current fill level, and contents description. Include the source lot number and date contents were added."

Example 3 - Storage Container Label:
"I need a label with vessel ID in large text, product type, strain name, and weight. Show storage location (room and shelf), fill date, and a QR code linking to vessel details."

Vessel Batch Labels

Vessel batch labels identify groups of containers that are processed or tracked together.

Example 1 - Batch Identification:
"Create a label showing batch ID prominently. Include number of vessels in batch, total combined weight, product type, and batch creation date. Add a barcode for batch-level scanning."

Example 2 - Processing Batch Label:

✨ Tips for Better Results

Get exactly the labels you need by following these proven strategies.

Be Specific About Position

The AI responds well to location instructions. Use terms like:

• "top left corner"
• "center of the label"
• "bottom right"
• "across the top"
• "below the barcode"

Specify Text Size

Tell the AI what should stand out:

• "in large bold text"
• "in smaller text below"
• "prominently displayed"
• "in fine print at the bottom"

Choose Your Code Type

Barcodes and QR codes serve different purposes:

• Barcode: Best for scanning with traditional barcode scanners, works well for IDs and numbers
• QR code: Can store more information, easily scanned with smartphones, good for linking to details

Include Compliance Elements

For cannabis industry labels, consider including:

• License numbers (yours and recipients)
• Lot and batch tracking numbers
• Dates (harvest, package, ship, receive)
• Weight information
• Chain of custody elements

Iterate in Conversation

Your first description does not need to be perfect. Start simple and add details:

1. First message: "Create an inventory label with lot number and barcode"
2. Second message: "Add the product name at the top in larger text"
3. Third message: "Move the barcode to the bottom and make it wider"

Pro tip: Save your refined labels with descriptive names. Next time you need a similar label, load the saved template and modify it instead of starting from scratch.

❓ Common Questions

Which label type should I choose if my use case spans multiple types?

Choose the type that best matches where the label will be used. For example, if you are labeling a product that will be stored and later shipped, start with an Inventory label for storage tracking. Create a separate Shipment label for when it leaves your facility.

Can I use the same label design for different label types?

Yes, but keep in mind that each label type has access to different data fields. An Inventory label can pull lot information, while a Shipment label has access to destination addresses. Design your labels based on what information is available for that type.

How do I include both a barcode and QR code on one label?

Simply ask for both in your description: "Add a barcode at the bottom for scanning and a QR code in the top right corner for detailed product information."

What size label should I use?

Common sizes in cannabis facilities:

• 4x6 inches: Shipping labels, large inventory tags
• 2x4 inches: Product labels, shelf tags
• 2x2 inches: Sample labels, small container tags
• 1x2 inches: Small product stickers, vessel identification

Match your label design to your label stock. Check your label roll packaging for exact dimensions.

The AI keeps putting elements in the wrong spot. How do I fix this?

Be very specific about placement. Instead of "add a barcode," try "place a barcode in the bottom center of the label, spanning about 75% of the label width." The more precise your instructions, the better the results.

Can I include our company logo on labels?

The AI Label Builder focuses on text-based labels with barcodes and QR codes. For labels requiring logos or custom graphics, you may need to use dedicated label design software and upload the finished design.

How many labels can I save?

There is no limit to the number of label templates you can save. Create as many as you need for different products, processes, and purposes. Use clear naming conventions to keep them organized.

Will my labels print correctly on any printer?

The labels are designed to work with standard thermal and inkjet label printers. Always do a test print on your actual label stock before printing large quantities. Adjust your printer settings if alignment issues occur.

What happens if I describe something the AI does not understand?

The AI will do its best to interpret your request. If the result is not what you wanted, simply describe what needs to change. For example: "The barcode is too small, please make it larger" or "I wanted the date at the bottom, not the top."
