QR code labels
Print QR codes for your machines, manuals and parts bins. Scanning one opens the catalog, set to that machine’s serial number or a single part.
Make labels#
- In the console, open Catalogs and choose QR labels next to a catalog.
- Choose where the labels open: the catalog on Assembly Atlas, or a page of your own website with the catalog embedded (enter its address).
- For machine stickers, enter serial numbers: one per line, or a range like
W1500-1200 to W1500-1250, which counts up the last number and keeps its leading zeros. Leave it empty for a single label for the model, for a manual or a brochure. - Optionally, a part number to open on, for a label on a filter housing or a parts bin.
- Pick a label size and choose Print labels, or Download QR (SVG) for one code to send to a decal or nameplate maker.
Label sizes#
| Size | Per Letter sheet | Layout |
|---|---|---|
| 2⅝ × 1 in | 30 | Avery 5160 layout |
| 4 × 2 in | 10 | Avery 5163 layout |
| 2 × 2 in | 12 | 3 × 4 grid, ¾ in margins |
Print at 100% (“Actual size”, not “Fit to page”), and test on plain paper held against a label sheet before using labels. For machines that see weather, oil or washing, print the SVG on durable polyester or metal nameplates instead of paper labels.
What a label opens#
Each code is a link. On the hosted catalog it adds serial= and part= to the address; on your own page it adds them after a #, which the embed reads:
https://assemblyatlas.com/viewer/?key=aa_live_…&catalog=w1500&serial=W1500-1201
https://www.yourcompany.com/parts/w1500#serial=W1500-1201&part=W15-601
With a serial, the catalog opens showing the parts for that machine; see Serial numbers. Each label also prints the catalog name, the serial and “Scan for parts”, so it still means something to someone without a phone.
Print labels once your catalog is on its permanent address. A label points at the address it was made with, and a sticker on a machine is hard to replace.
