# Print Labels

> Print barcode and price labels for your inventory so every pair can be scanned and tagged on the shelf.

Print barcode and price labels for your inventory so every pair can be scanned and tagged on the shelf.

**Where to find it:** [Open Print Labels in AIM](https://aimventory.com/inventory/print-labels) — you will be asked to sign in first.

## What you can do here

* Build a list of items to print by scanning their barcodes or browsing your inventory
* Print labels for brand-new stock, pre-owned/special pairs, consignment items, or display cards
* Set how many labels you want for each item (one per pair, or a batch)
* Pick from your saved label designs, or create new ones under "Manage Labels"
* See your recent print jobs in case you need to reprint

## How to: Scan items and print labels (Queue workflow)

1. Make sure the "Workflow" toggle is on "Queue" and pick the right "Print Mode" (usually "Inventory").
2. Scan each item's barcode with your scanner — it drops into the list on the right.
3. No scanner? Click "Browse & Add", select individual rows or all loaded results, then add the selection to the queue in one step.
4. Adjust the number of labels per item if you need more than one.
5. Click "Print Labels" to send them to your label printer.

<Tip title="Real-world example">
  A purchase order of 20 pairs of Dunk Low Panda arrives — scan each box, leave the count at 1 label each, and print all 20.
</Tip>

## How to: Find specific items by filter (Classic workflow)

1. Switch the "Workflow" toggle to "Classic".
2. Use Search, or filter by Purchase Order, Location, size, or condition.
3. Tick the items you want (or "Select all").
4. Click "Print Labels" to print just those.

<Tip title="Real-world example">
  Reprint price labels for everything from purchase order 20260529-002: pick that PO from the dropdown, Select all, then Print.
</Tip>

## How to: Print display or shelf cards

1. Set "Print Mode" to "Display".
2. Click "Browse & Add" and choose the products you want a display card for.
3. Click "Print Display Cards".

<Tip title="Real-world example">
  Make a shelf card with the shoe image and retail price for the Jordan 1 "Bred" sitting in your front window.
</Tip>

## Good to know

* Set up your label printer (e.g. a Zebra) first under "Manage Labels" — that's where label sizes and designs live. If labels come out blank or cut off, check you picked the right design and label size there.
* The barcode on the label is what you scan back in at checkout and when receiving stock, so print one for every pair.
* Pre-owned and consignment items have a "Label Status" filter — set it to "Not Printed" to only see pairs still waiting for a label.
* In Browse & Add, use the header checkbox to select all loaded results or Shift-click row checkboxes to select a range. Items already in the queue are skipped.
* "Recent Jobs" lets you re-open and reprint a batch without rebuilding the list.
