[P1L] Types of Labels You Can Create in BOLDR Pro

The BOLDR Pro label editor gives you the flexibility to design labels that fit your specific workflow. By combining different input fields — text, measurements, icons, QR codes, images, and company logos — you can create labels tailored to nearly any use case on the jobsite. Below are some common label types and ideas to help you get the most out of the feature.

Cut Piece Labels

The most common use case. A cut piece label identifies a specific piece of material with its measurement so it can be matched to the right location during installation.

• What to include: A Measurement Field showing the dimension, plus a Text Field with the piece name or location (e.g., "Kitchen Header," "Window Trim Left").
• Why it helps: Stick the label directly on the cut piece so anyone on-site can identify it at a glance. The built-in checkbox lets you mark each piece as cut or installed.

Branded Labels

Add a professional touch by including your company branding on every label that leaves your shop or jobsite.

• What to include: A Company Logo or Icon Library selection (such as the REEKON logo or your own uploaded logo) in one cell, paired with a Measurement Field or Text Field in a second cell.
• Why it helps: Branded labels make your work look polished and help identify which contractor's materials belong to whom on a busy jobsite with multiple crews.

Material Source Labels

Track where materials were purchased by pairing a retailer logo with the piece dimensions.

• What to include: An icon from the Icon Library (e.g., The Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards) in one cell, with a Measurement Field or Text Field describing the material in another cell.
• Why it helps: If a piece needs to be returned or reordered, the label immediately tells you where it came from without digging through receipts.

Tool or Brand Identification Labels

Mark which tool or brand is associated with a specific cut, workstation, or piece of equipment.

• What to include: A tool brand icon from the Icon Library (e.g., DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita) paired with a Text Field describing the tool, station, or purpose.
• Why it helps: Useful for organizing shared tool storage, identifying which saw or blade was used for a specific cut, or labeling dedicated workstations on the jobsite.

QR Code Labels for Project Linking

Create labels with QR codes that link back to digital project data in BOLDR Pro, so anyone with the app can scan and access the information.

• What to include: A QR Code field linked to the Active Project, Active Job, a specific Group, or a Job File. Add a Text Field with a description like "Scan for Plans" or "Project Specs."
• Why it helps: Bridges the gap between the physical jobsite and your digital data. A foreman can scan a label on a stack of lumber and immediately see the full cut list, attached files, or project details.

QR Code Labels for External Links

Link to any external URL — product spec sheets, material safety data, installation instructions, or client-facing documents.

• What to include: A QR Code field with an External Link (URL), plus a Text Field or Icon identifying the content.
• Why it helps: Makes reference documents instantly accessible on-site. Stick a label on a pallet of specialized material and anyone can scan it to pull up the manufacturer's install guide.

Safety and Hazard Labels

Use the built-in safety icons to create warning or PPE reminder labels for specific areas or materials.

• What to include: A hazard/warning triangle, safety glasses, or safety vest icon from the Icon Library, paired with a Text Field describing the requirement (e.g., "Eye Protection Required," "Caution: Treated Lumber").
• Why it helps: Print and apply quick safety reminders directly to materials, tool stations, or staging areas without needing separate signage.

Multi-Cell Combination Labels

For maximum information density, combine multiple input fields into a single label using the cell layout system.

• Example layout: Company logo in the top cell, Measurement Field in the middle cell, and a QR code linking to the project in the bottom cell — all on one printed label.
• Why it helps: Gives you a single label that answers "whose piece is this," "what size is it," and "where do I find more details" all at once. Save this as a template and reuse it across every job.

Tips for Designing Effective Labels

• Keep labels focused. One or two key pieces of information per label is usually more useful than cramming everything onto a single print.
• Use the Preview button to check readability before printing. If text or values look too small, consider reducing the number of cells or simplifying the layout.
• Save layouts you use frequently as Custom Label Templates so you can reuse them without rebuilding from scratch.
• Remember that all printed content is black and white. Design with contrast in mind, especially for custom uploaded icons or images.
