### "MarkMagic great choice for warehouse labeling and direct to consumer forms/PDF"

April 22, 2019

5.0

We work with 100+ Fulfillment centers around the country and are adding new ones every month. Many FCs already have thermal printers and software from various brands like Zebra, Datamax, Sato, Toshiba, Intermec, etc. For various reasons we needed to consolidate their printing process and streamline labeling. In short, one MarkMagic instance satisfied all our requirements. All 100+ FCs print from the same MMPI instance which supports all the FC label printing along with Accounting and E-Commerce PDFs. I can’t begin to calculate the amount of time, effort and money we’ve saved.

Pros

JMagic designer tool connects any MarkMagic Server (including the MarkMagic Platform Independent instance we have running in the Cloud) and is super easy to create/update all our label and form formats. Deployment was a breeze: Since MMPI is web based, all of our users (remote and on-prem), had immediate access to printing and PDF. Over the last 6 months our non-technical team began leveraging MarkMagic Conditions to handle customer specific format requests which has been an unexpected benefit of the system. Previously, format changes would take a few days and require a programmer’s involvement, now they take just a few minutes which makes us happy and our notoriously impatient customers very happy.

Cons

While the main MarkMagic WAS can be installed on any platform, the JMagic design tool must be installed on a Windows PC. Not a big deal, but we have some Linux users who want nothing to do MS. I understand CYBRA is releasing a web-based design tool soon, so any device/platform with a browser can be used to design.

### "MarkMagic continues to stand the test of time"

October 28, 2025

5.0

Excellent! I've used MarkMagic for decades now and believe it is a flagship product for any application on an AS/400.

Pros

Once you know how the software works, it is not too hard to edit quickly to get the results you want. When an issue does come up, customer support is excellent as I get a response quickly from knowledgable people.

Cons

There is not a good way of viewing data fields already used within a format. If I need to use a miscellaneous field for a value, I can't do a search in the format easily to know if the field is used. If that were added, that would save a considerable amount of time when modifying existing complicated label formats so I wouldn't have to resort to SQL to determine field usage.

### "This review only applies to jMagic"

August 2, 2019

3.0

Pros

It works with i-Series. Does pretty much what I need it to do, albeit with a little more work than I like.

Cons

UI needs work, missing a lot of simple editing tools or they're hidden and I can't find them? For example, the issue I had was with increasing font size on multiple items. Couldn't left click to see the option and also wasn't available on quick edit. Only after I emailed support did they inform me I could hit the +/- keys on the keyboard. Other issues: can't align objects by distributing spacing, eg select 5 objects and space them evenly. When you edit font, it only shows CENTER as the option, but when you align multiple products, CENTER is not an option? As I'm using jMagic, you should implement standard windows shortcut keys, for example, CTRL+C to copy, or be able to zoom with CTRL+mouse scroll. Often when I click on an object, it moves slightly. Would like the ability to turn on (not import) grids and snap to them.

### "MarkMagic for Manhattan WMi"

September 14, 2025

5.0

Good product to use for your shipping software. One time setup and good to go if you are not changing label formats frequently.

Pros

MarkMagic software shipped with Manhattan WMi. Easy to design label formats. Out of box RFID support. Good Customer support. Seamless upgarde.

Cons

Difficult to troubleshoot issues without the help of their customer support. Hard to understand how the ZPL tags are created in the background.

### "Good Review"

September 3, 2025

5.0

Very Good. I would recommend it to anyone needing custom and very detailed Labels. We currently support over thirty different label formats.

Pros

Ease of use configuring Labels, ability to add and delete fields and constants. Of the times I have had to call Customer Support, you were always helpful in resolving my issues.

Cons

Deploying to remote sites and maintaining multiple versions due to remote sites at different levels.

### "Using MarkMagic in our shipping software"

September 16, 2019

5.0

MarkMagic is a really superior product - it makes our job of producing/modifying labels infinitely easier than with other packages. The customer support is the best - quick and helpful responses. The support staff have helped us through many issues over the years

Pros

The software is easy to use. It has both a green screen and a Windows interface, so individual implementers can use whichever interface they are comfortable using. We do a lot of customization to our labels and drop ship packing lists and MarkMagic makes this easy to accomplish.

Cons

Truthfully there is very little that I don't like - the only thing I have some issues with is setting up text blocks on the labels - this is a newer function that we have not used except on the drop ship packing lists so we were not familiar with it, but it is a very powerful tool and makes printing large volumes of constant data easier than before these were available.

Reason for choosing MarkMagic

We use a shipping software package that is incorporated with MarkMagic.

### "MarkMagic Easy To Integrate"

July 29, 2021

5.0

Pros

MarkMagi is easy to integrate and provides quick response time.

Cons

The GUI label designer can be difficult to work with. Primarily because there aren't any valid methods to preview your changes within the designer. You have to print a physical label to view changes.

### "Easy To Use Product With Amazing Support"

July 30, 2019

5.0

When we started with MarkMagic here many years ago, we knew little about how powerful it actually is. With their amazing support, any questions or "How To's" you may have get answered quickly and the results speak for themselves. We can meet any of our most stringent customer's requirements for labeling our shipments.

Pros

Designing labels and other printed output with MarkMagic is easy to learn and to teach to subordinates. It works every time and the product support is second to none.

Cons

We came to use MarkMagic through Manhattan Associates Warehouse Management System. The only down side is that it is separately licensed from MA/WM's system. That is not a huge issue, though.

### "Outstanding Customer Support"

September 11, 2019

4.0

We are using MarkMagic to print our UPS, Fedex and LTL shipping labels. Using this software to create the labels saved the company a lot of time versus having to manually design and create the label formats.

Pros

I am a new user of MarkMagic and I was impressed with the quick responses, professional attitude and the experience level of the tech support team. I also like the fact that the functions are command driven, easy to use instead of API/Pgm calls.

Cons

I haven't used the product long enough to comment on any cons.

### "MarkMagic as a third-party vendor"

March 24, 2020

5.0

Pros

We use MarkMagic as an add-on to our ERP system, managed by that vendor. As such, we don't deal with the interfaces directly, but most of our forms are formatted using MarkMagic. However, on the occasions that I've had need of their support staff, my experience has been top notch - timely, helpful, and professional.

Cons

As we don't deal with MM directly, I can't really speak to UI or UX experiences.

### "Great Product"

February 6, 2020

4.0

Pros

The software is programmable to design how you want your output to look on your forms. You can have conditions coded in Mark Magic to print or not to print something based on conditions. Was able to use multiple logos and have certain ones print by a customer# Customer service is great to work with.

Cons

Didn't find anything I didn't like, happy with the product.

Reason for choosing MarkMagic

Worked with our base system package

### "Support is amazing"

September 30, 2019

5.0

Mark Magic is part of the VAI software and we have had great success we modifying for our clients over the years.

Pros

We don't usually have any issues with Mark Magic. But when we have an issue, the support team is amazing. They worked with me to narrow down where the issue was. I always have great luck and support from the team.

Cons

Can't think of anything at this time that I don't like.

Reason for choosing MarkMagic

I use FormsPrint at another customer and I can't stand the product. So I love when I only have to work with the Mark Magic product.

### "Mark Magic Labels"

May 10, 2019

5.0

Pros

I like how easy it is to produce and update our shipping labels. Also, being able to set up item labels for specific customers is also very easy to do.

Cons

The only thing is that sometimes when laying out a label on the screen, it doesn't necessarily print in the exact same location.
