See how simple it is
with the ETILABEL program
The ETILABEL program is a tool that really simplifies
process – from the first click to the finished print.
We cope with these problems perfectly
Designing and printing labels can be frustrating, especially without the right tools. That’s why we created ETILABEL.
ETILABEL has an intuitive interface designed for those with no experience. You can start designing right away, without training or frustration.
ETILABEL allows you to design and print labels internally without outsourcing to a print shop. This allows you to print on demand without having to maintain large inventories, increasing independence and flexibility.
The program is suitable for designing various types of labels, such as nameplates, barcode labels, GS1 logistics labels, information labels, and color labels for finished products. ETILABEL also enables RFID label encoding.
- Text insertion (TrueType and system fonts),
- Graphics (bmp, png, jpg) and logos,
- Barcodes and 2D codes (including GS1 labels),
- Automatic numbering and variable data (e.g., dates, times),
- Database connection,
- RFID label encoding and printing (Business and Integration version)
ETILABEL (Business and Integration versions) allows you to connect your label design to an Excel file or database, which allows you to automatically populate labels with variable data – e.g. product name, batch number, price or barcode.
Yes – ETILABEL allows you to create label templates that can be easily edited or copied. This significantly speeds up work when working with large numbers of similar labels.
By choosing ETILABEL, you gain more than just a program
