NiceLabel Pro

NiceLabel Pro is a full-featured labeling software designed for professional bar code and RFID label design and printing, including complete database support and integration capabilities. A wide range of options makes it a perfect and easy-to-use, wizard driven tool for any labeling requirement. NiceLabel products include support for all industry standard bar codes (including 2-D). Because users are often confronted with particular customer or industry (chemical, automotive, retail, etc.) compliance requests, NiceLabel Pro installs many industry standard label templates to get you printing quickly. NiceLabel Pro provides a rich Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) smart label interface. NiceLabel supports a wide variety of high-frequency and ultra high-frequency tags for Electronic Product Code (EPC) compliance. NiceLabel Pro includes an EPC wizard to simplify the encoding of 64 and 96 bit EPC tags for SGTIN, SSC and more. A user-friendly database wizard is used for quick and easy performance of database connection and printing operations. In addition to the standard support for text files, common database types and ODBC drivers, there are also available high-performance native drivers for enterprise databases (as Oracle, MS SQL Server, AS/400, Informix, etc.).

NiceLabel Suite

NiceLabel Suite offers advanced connectivity and application development options for any type of user. NiceLabel Suite includes the NiceLabel Pro label designer and the following tools:

NiceForm: NiceForm is an application generator for labeling operations on a Windows PC or Windows CE mobile device. Users can design custom interfaces and multi-form applications to simplify the label printing experience for the operator. No custom programming knowledge required.

NiceWatch: NiceWatch is the entry-level, centralized print server module for automating label printing operations. NiceWatch can accept a print request from any mobile wireless, desktop, ERP or WMS application to automate label printing without user intervention. Print requests can be made through a file drop, a TCP/IP socket, and email or a COM port.

NicePrintQueue: Compare this module with the Windows spooler; however, the NicePrintQueue offers more control over network printers and more functionality. The NicePrintQueue model enables complete control over the printing process, view of all installed printers and their status, as well  as all print jobs and their status. Users can move print jobs from one printer to another with drag-and-drop action. Print jobs can be moved even among thermal printers of different brands.

Pocket NiceLabel

Extend label printing beyond the desktop and into the mobile wireless enterprise. Pocket NiceLabel is a runtime application for Windows CE and PocketPC devices. Pocket NiceLabel easily allows anybody to design and execute label printing from mobile wireless data collection devices from Intermec, Symbol, HHP, Psion Teklogix and more. Label printing from mobile wireless devices has never been easier.

NiceLabel Express

NiceLabel Express is a wizard-based software fulfilling basic bar code labeling needs at a low-cost. The entry-level software includes many design elements of professional versions with the emphasis on simplified user interaction.

Working with NiceLabel Express is based entirely on user-friendly wizards representing true shortcuts to fast and easy label creation. NiceLabel Express includes all basic label design tools and support of prompted fields, serialization, date/time stamps and all standard bar code types (including 2-D and EAN/UCC 128).

Data collecting from external sources can be retrieved from a text (ASCII) file or Microsoft Excel using the built-in the database wizard.
