About LABELVIEW

 

LABELVIEW is a barcode label design software solution developed by TEKLYNX available in two editions: Pro and Gold. With its powerful built-in features, LABELVIEW Gold can produce color-coded file folder labels to replace ColorBar labels.

 

TEKLYNX worked with former Smead ColorBar customers to develop several label templates that easily replace ColorBar label templates. The samples use advanced VBScript to achieve color coding, but the end user never has to see or interact with the VBScript. Simply enter (or connect) your data and print!
