How It Works

Orders from S&S arrive pre-labeled with customizable QR codes that guide each step of production—using box-level codes to route and prioritize orders within your facility, and garment-level codes to automatically load decoration details at the machine. This allows boxes and individual items to move directly to production and be decorated immediately, with no manual sorting or prep required.
These QR codes can be mapped to trigger an unlimited number of workflows within decorators' facilities, including receiving/check-in, queuing artwork on embroidery, DTG, or screen-printing equipment, automating quality control, and generating outbound shipping labels.
S&S's proprietary API and industry-leading warehouse automation deliver over 99.9% order accuracy—powering ZeroTouch's fully hands-off workflow.

Choose the Right Level for Your Workflow

Box-Level Solution (Free)

Best for: Orders with the same artwork, product, and decoration technique
Custom box label with text instructions + QR code Custom box label with text instructions + QR code

Each box includes a custom text field + QR code, defined by you.

Text field: Quick instructions for your team

Examples:

  • "RUSH - Take to Color Embroidery Machine"
  • "Take to DTG #3"
  • "Take to Bulk Stock"

QR code: Links to a page you control

  • SKU details (style, color, size)
  • Decoration type, placement, artwork
  • Machine assignment (DTG, embroidery, etc.)
  • Routing instructions (rush, hold, stock)

Result

Eliminate box opening and staging to decorate faster, reduce errors, lower prep costs, and minimize machine idle time. Box-level QR codes and custom text fields unlock efficiency and accuracy—even without item-level QR coding.

Item-Level Solution ($.20 / label)

Best for: Orders with multiple products, designs, or decoration types. Perfect for print-on-demand orders or those looking to cut receiving labor and reduce costly misprints. Also ideal for low or one-unit jobs that are fill-in orders for customers.
Heat-resistant garment label with QR code + product details Heat-resistant garment label with QR code + product details
Each item (or SKU) includes a heat-resistant label with text + QR code.

Use it to:

  • Confirm product (style, size, color)
  • Reference and execute correct artwork placement and decoration
  • Trigger workflows (QC, shipping labels, etc.)

Result

Ensure the right product gets the right decoration, every time. Fewer errors. No rework. Significantly faster receiving.
