Vantage/Epicor shipping labels

We have a fairly robust shipping label setup.. 50+ different styles, but
its all set to autoprint, the users don't need to worry about selection
of the correct styles, that is all done based on defined rules. Unique
labels and packing slips autoprint @ shipment. Contact me offline if
you'd like more details... I hate typing..

Wanted to add.... Take the label template for example. I could create a
unique report style for every requirement but that could be 50-100
different styles. Also leaves room for error in selection.
I would prefer to leave the template selection up to a predefined
template based on the shipping location. Same goes for the unique data -
where to store and call up on demand based on shipping location.

Vantage/Epicor (we will be on Epicor 9.05.60+). I realize simple label
printing can be done within the application but I have not figured out
an elegant way for anything but the most simple. At print time:

Looking for ideas on how to implement shipping label printing in Vantage/Epicor (we will be on Epicor 9.05.60+). I realize simple label printing can be done within the application but I have not figured out an elegant way for anything but the most simple. At print time:
1) Must be able to print a unique label based on shipping location.
2) Must be able to pass customer/shipping location specific data.
Dock, Department, KanBan number, ASN number, etc.
3) Serialized labels - every label for some, every two for others depending on customer label requirements.
Just to name a few...

I have built custom standalone solutions in the past because of the limitations of Vantage. Vantage out-of-box solution seems to be a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Almost every one of our customers have very unique requirements.

Anyone willing to share your experience?
