Printing Labels, QR Codes & Dymo Integration
The label sizes FacilitySync supports, which to use where, and how to print direct to a Dymo.
FacilitySync generates three kinds of label — space QR codes, asset tags and inventory labels — from FacilitySync → Settings. All three work the same way: pick a print method, pick a template, select what to print, and produce a PDF or send it straight to a Dymo.
Three print methods
| Method | What it produces |
|---|---|
| Avery Sheet | A PDF laid out for a sheet of Avery labels, for any laser or inkjet printer |
| Dymo PDF | A PDF sized for a single Dymo label, if you would rather print it yourself |
| Dymo Direct | Prints straight to a Dymo via Dymo Connect, no PDF step |
Dymo Direct needs Dymo Connect installed and running on the same machine, with the printer visible to it. If it is not available the option stays inert rather than failing silently at the end.
Asset and inventory label sizes
| Template | Size | Per sheet | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avery 5160 | 1" × 2⅝" | 30 | Bins, shelves and small parts |
| Avery 5163 | 2" × 4" | 10 | Larger items, spaces and equipment |
Space QR code sizes
Space codes get their own set, because they are read from further away.
| Template | Size | Per sheet | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avery 5163 | 2" × 4" | 10 | Door frames, elevator panels, tight spots |
| Avery 5164 | 4¼" × 3⅓" | 6 | Bathrooms, hallways and common areas |
| Full Page | 7½" × 9½" | 1 | Prominent placement — lobbies, restrooms, main halls |
Dymo label sizes
| Template | Size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| DYMO 30252 | 1⅛" × 3½" | Bins, shelves and small parts |
| DYMO 30256 | 2⁵⁄₁₆" × 4" | Equipment, large items and spaces |
| DYMO 30332 | 1" × 1" | Small QR-only labels |
Each template links out to where the stock can be bought, and the space templates also link to a weatherproof equivalent.
Printing a sheet correctly
The single thing that ruins a sheet of labels is printer scaling.
Important: Print at actual size — 100%, no "fit to page" and no "shrink oversized pages". Any scaling shifts every label a little further off its backing down the sheet, and by the bottom row the text is over the gaps. If the first row lines up and the last does not, scaling is the reason.
Print one sheet on plain paper first and hold it against a real sheet of labels before committing a box.
Choosing a size
For inventory, smaller is usually right — 5160 or the Dymo 30252. A bin label only has to be read from arm's length.
For assets, go larger. 5163 or the Dymo 30256 gives room for the name and model alongside the code, which is what makes the tag useful without scanning it.
For spaces, size by reading distance. A door frame wants 5163; a corridor wall wants 5164; a lobby wants the full page.
Tip: Weatherproof stock for anything outdoors, in a plant room, or anywhere that gets cleaned with water. Paper curls, and a code that will not scan trains people not to bother.
