Let's get started
Let us show you how easy it is to design and manage templates in the cloud!
Loftware Designer (On-Premise)
The industry’s easiest-to-use template designer
Design and maintain customer-specific or regulatory-compliant templates in no time with Loftware Designer. It delivers a familiar, Microsoft Word-like user experience, meaning users can quickly design professional template without bar coding knowledge, design layout expertise or advanced computer skills. Use one of the pre-designed templates or create one from scratch in minutes, even if you have never designed a template before.
Create intelligent templates that can be used for many customers
Fast and simple database connectivity
Anyone can connect to a database using the designer’s database wizard.
- Easily connect to Excel, Access and text files
- Connect to SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL
- OLE DB and ODBC provide connectivity to almost any other database
- Connection to multiple databases and tables on the same label
- Import dynamic graphics from databases (BLOB)
- Custom SQL data queries for advanced queries
Configure, Don’t Code.
Loftware designer lets you configure dynamic data using menus rather than coding.
- Configurable variables, data-entry rules and error checking
- GS1-128 barcode wizard for shipper box labels
- Functions for easy manipulation and concatenation of dynamic data
- Advanced VB or Python scripting for custom or special needs
Loftware's label templates are universal. You can use the same template with any printer brand and model, even printers with different resolutions. You don’t need to design different labels for different printer models to get the same consistent output and fast printing performance.
Perfectly formatted labels, every time
Loftware Designer automatically positions, aligns, word wraps or adjusts the font size of your text to ensure your dynamic data fits into the designated area.
Minimise template versions
Intelligent features like relative object positioning, variable label length and double-sided printing help reduce the number of template variations you need to create.
Print in multiple languages
Loftware's user interface, help system and user guides are available in many languages. Label content can by printed in any language with multiple languages appearing on the same label.
Loftware Print Client (On-Premise)
The most efficient label printing application
Everything you need to print in one form
With Loftware's “all-on-one” printing form, the user always knows what data changes are required before printing. All data-entry fields are clearly listed together so the user doesn't need to switch between dialogue boxes to know exactly what data needs to be entered. If the label changes, the data-entry fields adapt automatically.
Locked templates prevent errors
Operators can select the template they need, but the template is read-only, preventing accidental and unauthorized template changes. The print preview also gives the operator the opportunity to check all information before printing, an added step that ensures accurate labels.
Preview the entire print job for quality assurance
The label print preview displays all labels exactly as they will be printed. The operator can also zoom in and zoom out of the preview to verify label contents before printing.
Responsive form layout for more flexibility
The form interface automatically adapts to your screen so you don't need to create variations of the same form for different screen sizes. Printing forms are portable across any screen regardless of the size, aspect ratio or resolution.
Works with any kind of printer
Replacing hardware is expensive and time-consuming. Loftware Print works with our Windows drivers as well as Windows drivers from any printer manufacturer, including:
- Thermal printers
- RFID printers
- Laser and inkjet printers
Loftware fits in seamlessly with your existing printer hardware. This means a minimal upfront investment from your side and a quicker return on investment. Loftware Windows’s printer drivers deliver the best user experience and the fastest printing for your thermal label printers.
