The Packing Module prints UCC/EAN-128 barcode labels for your boxes of finished goods and adds them to VistaTrac's perpetual inventory. Once in inventory, the barcode labels can be scanned for shipping, etc.

A "packing line" or "production line" has a data entry station and up to four barcode label printers and scales. One data entry station can run up to four physical packing lines at the same time. Labels for fixed-weight products can be batch printed from a regular office PC (data entry station and scale not required, but label printer is needed).
