Printing labels for orders

Updated on 9 August 2024

Printing labels for your orders in Stream is incredibly easy. It’s simply a case of selecting the orders you would like to create labels for, and then printing them. Or alternatively you can export the labels as a PDF to print later. 

Printing labels from Advanced Planning

Printing labels for your runs from the Advanced Planning screen is the most popular way to print labels in Stream, as you can collate the orders on a run and then print and apply the labels. 

Step 1: Select the Run

Head to the Advanced Planning screen from the main menu in Stream.

Warning

Make sure you have optimised your route or ordered the stops manually before printing the labels as Stop Numbers may be included on the label depending on which label type you are using.

In the runs panel, search for and select the run for which you want to print labels.
