This workflow works very well for items where it is possible for a barcode to be printed on finished goods.
This allows for a seamless and paperless workflow up to the point of dispatch. It removes the need to label each item as it already has an identifying barcode.
An example use of this workflow would be printing large format items. A small barcode can be placed in surplus space or areas that may be folded or become seams such as on Banners.
This workflow has similarities to workflow 3 but with the addition of a batch level barcode allowing QC, Dispatch and Substatus to be scanned at a batch level instead of just an item level.
