No answer here yet - perhaps someone can at least suggest an app that might be able to help me combine orders and dynamically enter order info for each plant tag?
Topic summary
A rare plants business owner needs to print custom plant tags on A4 sheets (8 tags per page, 1" × 11" each) and faces two main challenges:
Current Issues:
- When multiple quantities of the same plant are ordered, the template prints duplicate tags instead of just one (since quantity is already shown on each tag)
- Orders with fewer than 8 plants waste expensive tag paper because the system cannot combine multiple orders onto a single sheet
Desired Solution:
Ability to merge orders when printing—for example, combining an order with 3 plant types and another with 5 types onto one 8-tag sheet instead of using two separate sheets.
Resolution:
The user found Printout Designer, an app that solves both problems by:
- Allowing data from multiple orders to be combined into print templates
- Enabling containers with order data to repeat down the page and onto subsequent pages
- Offering affordable pricing
The original post included custom HTML/CSS code for the current template and an image showing wasted tags being removed from the sheet.
