QR Codes and Label Printing
Give your items and locations printed labels with QR codes, so a quick scan jumps straight to the right record. Ideal for bins, drawers, shelves and asset tags.
Where to find it: an item's actions (Print label), and the batch label sheet in the Inventory tools, once the Label printing capability is enabled (Modular UI).
Every item can produce a deep-link QR code — scanning it opens that exact item in Gubbins. Stick one on the thing itself (or its box) and you've got an instant link between the physical object and its record.
Need lots of labels at once? Gubbins lays out a printable A4 sheet of QR labels you can run off in one go — perfect for labelling a new storage system or a batch of assets.
💡 Tip Label your locations as well as items. A QR code on each shelf or bin means you can scan where you are and instantly filter to what should be there — a huge help during a cycle count.
ℹ️ Note Printed labels are independent of live camera scanning — they keep working whether or not the camera capability is enabled, and any phone camera app can open the deep link.
- Camera scanning — scanning the codes you print.
- Continuous scan & batch actions — processing many labelled items quickly.
- Locations & stock — labelling where things live.
