With OneDoc you can merge a transport label with information, such as ads, invoices and delivery notes into a PDF file.
There are two alternatives with associated label material. Before you order or start using OneDoc it is recommended that you discuss your needs and routines with nShift.
OneDoc requires integration via XML file. Please refer to the XML file specification.
PDF file
Alternative 1
A laser printer with double-sided printing should be used.
The PDF file from the main system is a double-sided A4 with a reserved area for two 190 mm labels. The remaining part of the first page may contain advertising, return instructions etc., and page two (on the back) may contain invoice/delivery note or similar.
Alternative 2
