Requirement 1 says generate a RFID tag. That's something very different from Barcodes.
Heres what we do; We take a WYSIWYG program (Like BarOne from Zebra site - its free) and design the labels. We print out a 'sample' and capture the output to a file. We take that output into our Basic code and wrap quotes around it and replace the 'sample' data with data from our files and spool it out same as any other report that goes out of the system. This approach is very simple. Also, its very easy to tie into any shipping/receiving programs that you already have. I think that the printer itself would be responsible to dictate what barcodes you can cant print not the software. Since barcoding is pretty standard these days, that should not be a problem. 2D barcodes might still be considered a specialty, but I don't think that's something you would be concerned with.

I would love to hear some real-life testimonies from real users. I've seen TL Ashford's product, but it has to live on an as/400. I'm looking for something that will live either on our rs/6000 or a windows server. I am envisioning a "print-engine" that will live out on our network (or on our Unix box), that we can send a message to (CSV, XML, whatever), and it will take our message, map out the fields to the appropriate label format and print the label or labels to the appropriate printer (DATAMAX, Zebra, Printronix, etc). Some Requirements: 1. Generates an RFID encoded tag 2. Provides Vendor-Compliant label formats for major customers (Wal-Mart, Target, etc) 3. WYSIWYG label design 4. Supports UPS Maxicode Nice to have: 1. Web interface Would love to hear your experiences. Thanks.
