Use
In this Customizing activity, you specify the label sizes for label templates. In doing so, you assign the width and height of the label as well as the unit of length to a freely defined description of the label size.
The label size indicates the size of the label printed on the label stock.
The label size is used as follows:
- The label size is assigned to the label stock in the header data of the Edit Label Stock transaction.
- In the material master, the label size is displayed in the Label Data view where it can be edited. As a result, the label size can be used to filter label stock when labels are determined from the material master.
- The label size affects label determination when label stocks are filtered.
Note:
The size of the label is always smaller or equal to the size of the label stock. This means that the size of the label and the size of the label stock do not match. Both sizes are linked to each other in the Edit Label Stock transaction.
Requirements
- Check the existing packaging layers and pack sizes: The size of the label often depends on the packaging layer and the size of the packaging for which a label has to be printed.
- Check the size of the label template: The label size and the size of the label template must be matched to one another.
The size of the label template is defined in the label wizard (Create Label pushbutton) during label template creation. Note the width and length of the label template, since these settings cannot be displayed again once the label template has been created.
Standard settings
Activities
Create the corresponding label sizes for the label templates. For labels that have the same size, you require only one entry in this Customizing activity.
To determine the width and length of the actual label or label stock, place the label in front of you so that you can read the text.
An optimum label template does not have any borders, which means that text and graphics can appear up to the edge of the label. If a border is required for the label, you must specify this in Edit Label Stock. To do so, define the measurements for the label template in such a way that they are slightly less than the measurements of the label stock to be printed. This setting does not restrict the function.
Example
Label size for a label with the format 200x100 mm:
- Description for the size of the label: 200X100 MM
- Width of the label: 200
- Height of the label: 100
- Unit of length: MM
