NiceLabel Software

Barcode Design & Label Management Software — Built to Grow With Your Business

Adapts to All Your Labelling Needs

NiceLabel is labelling software that lets you design, manage, and print barcode labels — from simple product labels to fully automated, database-driven barcode printing connected to your business systems. It’s built to scale with your business, whether you’re labelling from a single location or coordinating labelling across multiple facilities.

NiceLabel and the Shift to 2D Barcodes (GS1 Sunrise 2027)

Retailers worldwide are moving to 2D barcodes — QR-style codes that can carry far more product information than a traditional UPC, including batch numbers, expiry dates, and links to product data. This shift, led by GS1 and known as the Sunrise 2027 initiative, is expected to reach critical mass across the industry by the end of 2027. Want the full picture? Read our guide to Sunrise 2027 and what it means for your labels.

 

NiceLabel can integrate with your ERP or SAP system, so business transactions automatically generate a print job carrying the correct barcode data, including the new GS1 2D barcode. This typically requires a dedicated SAP integration kit, with the technical integration work usually led by your own SAP or IT team rather than a simple, direct connection.

 

NiceLabel is one option for businesses that want barcode generation automated directly through their existing business system. This is typically the best fit for larger businesses with in-house SAP or ERP expertise, given the technical integration involved. It is not required in order to add a 2D barcode to your labels — our label specialists can help with that directly, with or without this software.

Why Use NiceLabel Software?  

  • Flexibility: NiceLabel adapts to your changing market demands. Labelling isn’t tied to one location — your team, suppliers, or partners can access the labelling process from anywhere.
  • Easy to use: NiceLabel doesn’t require you to purchase or maintain new IT infrastructure. With NiceLabel Cloud, there’s no maintenance to manage, your team can handle label design and updates directly, and the software updates itself automatically. 
  • Integration: Integrate NiceLabel with your business system and data to reduce manual entry errors — including the batch, expiry, and product data increasingly required on 2D barcodes.

In the Cloud or On-Premise? 

As good as Cloud technology can be, we understand some businesses need an on-premise version, which is why NiceLabel offers both.

  • In the cloud: NiceLabel Cloud is perfect for small to mid-sized businesses. Access an entire labelling process within minutes, from design to management and printing, integrated seamlessly into your business system. Start small and expand to multiple locations as needed.
  • On-premise: The NiceLabel Label Management System (LMS) offers the same powerful platform on-premise, customizable to your business and IT environment. When you’re ready for the cloud, making the change is just as easy.

Three Editions for all Your Business Needs 

  • Designer Pro: Our most powerful design edition, built for businesses working across large or multiple databases, with the Easyform option to reduce errors and duplicates.
  • Designer Standard: The easiest way to match your database with a labelling system. Design a few templates for your specific needs, with support for concatenated variables and direct print access for team members who don’t need to touch label design.
  • Designer Express: Perfect for a smaller business that wants a cheap, efficient way to match its database with a labelling process. Create label designs in minutes; works well with Excel and any printer — the best fit for basic labelling needs.

Connecting to Your ERP or SAP System

For businesses that want their 2D/GS1 barcode data generated automatically through their ERP or SAP system, this runs on a separate Loftware Cloud plan (Business or Compliance, depending on your setup) combined with the SAP Integration Bundle. This is generally the right fit for larger businesses with an in-house SAP or ERP team to lead the integration. 

Frequently Asked Questions 

Does NiceLabel support the 2D barcodes required by GS1 Sunrise 2027?  

Yes. 2D barcode support (including GS1 DataMatrix, QR codes, and GS1 Digital Link, the formats Sunrise 2027 requires) is built into NiceLabel’s core design software, not a special add-on. It can also integrate with your ERP or SAP system to generate this barcode data automatically with each transaction, though that typically requires a dedicated SAP integration kit and setup led by your own IT team. 

 

Do I need NiceLabel to comply with Sunrise 2027?  

No. You can add a compliant 2D barcode to your labels without NiceLabel. NiceLabel is simply one option for businesses that want that process automated through their existing ERP or SAP system. 

 

Is NiceLabel cloud-based or on-premise?  

Both. NiceLabel Cloud is ideal for small to mid-sized businesses looking to get started quickly, while the NiceLabel Label Management System (LMS) offers the same platform on-premise for businesses with specific IT requirements. 

 

What size of business is NiceLabel designed for?  

NiceLabel scales from small operations using Designer Express to enterprise-level, ERP-integrated labelling with Designer Pro. Full ERP or SAP integration is generally best suited to larger businesses with in-house IT resources.
