  • Publication number: 20080134092
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for dynamically creating labels are provided. Fulfillment of customer orders has labeling requirements for which labels must be created. One or more images are selected from a repository of label sub-images based on a customer order to construct a finished label for use with the customer order. Label configurations are identified from a second repository to determine the arrangement of the label sub-images on the label layout. The selected images are arranged according to the label configurations into a single layout of a finished label. The finished label is included with the customer order. Finished labels created in this manner are created according to specific customer orders. This manner of label production uses fewer common types of label stock and eliminates the waste of pre-printed labels when changes are made to a customer order for any reason.
