Administrators Nathan Posted June 4, 2012 Administrators Posted June 4, 2012 I'm looking for a script that will create labels for me. Something similar to what Vista Print uses for creating their business cards, except I will not be using it for business cards but other types of labels. Once complete I don't need to send it off to be printed the user would just print it there at home. I can't find anything out there online really, does anyone have any knowledge of this out there? Paid or free is fine. Quote

Administrators Nathan Posted June 4, 2012 Author Administrators Posted June 4, 2012 Web script, self hosted, I don't want to pay someone else's service I need to be able to incorporate it into my own site. Quote

Thomas Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Microsoft word, excel or database does have a built in feature to do this. Quote

Marc Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Is this one specific type of label you have in mind, or several? Quote
Administrators Nathan Posted June 5, 2012 Author Administrators Posted June 5, 2012 They will be labels that are all 1 size like a 3x5 or something. Quote
Marc Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Looks to me then like your best looking at reporting software like crystal reports and the likes. I think that would be the best way to achieve what your after. I know there are a fair few open source alternatives to crystal although Ive not used any of them myself to be honest. Quote
Administrators Nathan Posted June 5, 2012 Author Administrators Posted June 5, 2012 Crystal Reports? I'm looking to make a label maker like a label for a bottle. The website would be a label maker, people can go and upload pictures, choose fonts, other formatting, ect... then once finished they can click to print it out. Quote

Reason being you can then enter the information they provide into the database and have the base label set up in a crystal format (or many different ones if you chose to do so) and use formulas to chose colouring, images etc. Gives a nice layout which can be saved to pdf and also will conform to exact sizes and specifications for printing.

Administrators Nathan Posted June 5, 2012 Author Administrators Posted June 5, 2012 Link me to this software? Quote
Marc Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Link me to this software? Crystal reports can be expensive, but here it is http://www.crystalreports.com/ Im thinkin that kinda thing, but probably an open source equivilant. Not sure of the names of any but I do know they exist. Will have a look around and see what I can find. Quote
ridwan sameer Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 So it;s kind of like an online image editor for people to make their labels? Never heard of any script. Crystalreports looks a bit complicated though. Quote

Actually quite the opposite. Once you get it integrated it makes life a lot easier when its things that are dynamic Quote
