Printing to PDF

All labels can be exported to PDF from within CartonCloud and be printed from your computer using your computer's printer configurations.

  • Easy to set up.
  • Not as seamless/efficient as printing directly to a label printer using CartonCloud Connect.
  • Can only print PDF from the web application (cannot be performed from the mobile device).

You can configure the way that labels are generated on a per-customer basis from within the Customer Settings:

  • Navigate to the relevant Customer. 
  • Click Edit.
  • Select the Transport Management tab. 
  • Scroll down to the Labels section.
