SOURCD labeling guide
Set up the physical labels that connect storage, item tags, online sales, and shipped orders without mixing those jobs together.
SOURCD strategy
SOURCD uses SKU as the universal physical identifier. Storage QR labels open a physical storage place, item labels identify the piece, and shipping labels are added only when a sold order needs to leave the building.
Direct online sales
A website order may start with a small inventory label in storage, then receive a 4x6 shipping label once sold. Storage labels and shipping labels stay separate so SOURCD can support booth, marketplace, and direct online workflows cleanly.
Label types
Shipping label
4" x 6"
Direct online sales, Etsy, and any shipped order.
Best for
Sold online orders, Carrier labels, Marketplace shipments
Use this after an item sells. It is for outbound shipping, not inventory storage tagging.
Standard item label
2.4" x 1.25"
Most regular inventory that needs a booth-ready physical price tag.
Best for
Booth inventory, Decor, Electronics, Household goods, Medium-size inventory
For booth sellers, price, short description, booth ID, and SKU are required. Add QR when seller-side scanning is useful for that item.
Micro item label
2.4" x 0.75"
Very small items where a QR code would crowd the tag.
Best for
Toy cars, Jewelry, Tiny collectibles, Small booth filler items
No QR by default. Tiny items usually need price, booth ID, and SKU in the shortest readable format.
Rollo 1.5 x 1 landscape item label
1.5" x 1"
Small direct-thermal roll labels for compact booth tags, SKU tags, and price labels.
Best for
Rollo-compatible 1.5 x 1 rolls, Tiny booth tags, Small hard goods, Bulk SKU labeling
Choose the Rollo 1.5 x 1 landscape preset in the label preview. SOURCD shows the selected batch before printing, then prints each label at the exact physical size.
Storage QR label
2.4" x 3"
Physical places where inventory lives before sale.
Best for
Storage bins, Shelves, Booths, Totes, Storage rooms, Presale holding storage
Always QR-enabled so scanning a bin, booth, or shelf opens everything assigned there.
Continuous roll
2.4" continuous length
Flexible source material for custom item or storage labels.
Best for
Custom item labels, Storage labels, Longer names, Mixed label batches
Continuous stock lets SOURCD adjust label length to the content instead of forcing every tag into one shape.
Recommended equipment
Brother QL-1110NWB
Primary SOURCD recommendation
Prints up to 4" wide, supports 4x6 shipping labels, and also works with smaller or continuous label stock.
Best fit for mixed inventory, storage, item, and shipping workflows.
Brother DK-1241
4" x 6" shipping labels
Use for shipped orders after an item sells through a marketplace or direct website sale.
Pairs with the Brother printer for outbound shipping labels.
Brother DK-2205
2.4" continuous paper roll
Use as flexible stock for standard item labels, micro item labels, and storage labels.
Gives SOURCD room to adapt label length as your workflow grows.
1.5" x 1" direct-thermal roll labels
Compact item label stock
Use Rollo-compatible 1.5 x 1 stock when you want compact item tags with price, location, and SKU.
SOURCD has an exact-size landscape preview and print preset for this roll label.
Brother QL-810Wc
A lower-cost Brother option for sellers who only need item labels, storage QR labels, booth price tags, and other labels up to 2.4 inches wide.
Good for SOURCD inventory labels, but it does not print 4x6 shipping labels. Choose the QL-1110NWB if you want one printer for both inventory labels and shipping labels.
Rollo Wireless Printer
A strong option for shipping-heavy sellers who mostly want 4x6 shipping labels.
Brother remains the primary SOURCD recommendation because it better supports mixed inventory, storage, item, and shipping labels.
DYMO LabelWriter 5XL
Not the primary SOURCD recommendation.
The 5XL is more restrictive because it only works with DYMO-branded labels.
Best practices
Use storage QR labels on every bin, shelf, booth, tote, storage room, or presale holding area.
For booth inventory, every item label should include price, short description, booth ID, and SKU.
Use item QR only when the item is large enough or valuable enough to justify seller-side scanning.
Use the shortest readable booth label for tiny items and skip QR by default.
Use the Rollo 1.5" x 1" landscape preset for compact direct-thermal item labels, and print at 100% scale with browser margins off.
Use shipping labels only for outbound sold orders.
Keep QR as an operational tool for sellers, not necessarily a customer-facing tool.
Use SKU as the universal physical identifier across channels.
