Artists use Artwork/QR Labels for all kinds of purposes. Some use them to adhere to the back of their artwork before shipping off to galleries while some create wall labels for exhibitions. Whatever your purpose, Artwork Archive provides the ability to customize Artwork/QR Labels for your various needs.

You can create various sized Artwork/QR Labels from three different places in Artwork Archive including from the main Pieces Page, from inside of a Location Record as well as from inside of an Exhibition Record.

*Font size editing options for Artwork Labels are not available at this time.

Note: You can generate 3 different types of QR Code Labels. To learn more about when to use each type, click here.

From the main Pieces Page:

  1. Click New Report

  2. Select Artwork/QR Labels from the drop-down menu

3. From here, you can change the name of your labels, save your chosen settings as a template for future use, and decide what information you'd like to include and how it will appear on the label.

4. Scroll down to Select your pieces and choose the artworks you want to include.

  • Note: You can click Add all your pieces to include your entire Inventory, or use Filters to find specific pieces and select them one by one.

5. Click the Move button to add pieces.

6. Generate Labels.

Your finished Artwork/QR Labels will then be generated as a PDF on the Reports/Docs page where you can immediately view, download, and share.

If you need to edit your Artwork/QR Labels, you can do so by clicking the pencil icon to the right. Once you make your changes, a new PDF version will be generated.
