How to make a QC release label
A 2" × 1" QC label: the status word big and inverted, a date that prints itself, and room for initials in pen.
Steps
-
Start a 2" × 1" label
New label → Roll / thermal → 2x1.
-
Put the status word first and biggest
Released, passed or approved, centred and bold. Turn on White text on black if you want it unmissable on a shelf of boxes.
-
Add "BY/DATE:" underneath
A small bold line, then a second line for the initials.
-
Make the date print itself
On the initials line, press Auto date field. It inserts {date}, which prints the current date every time — nobody has to remember to change it.
-
Or freeze the date
If your process needs the date fixed at the moment the label was made — a certificate rather than a stamp — press Today as text instead.
-
Leave room for initials in pen
Add a Line near the bottom. It is low-tech and it is what makes somebody accountable.
