1. A computing system for facilitating the creation of digital labels to supplement physical labels, the computing system being communicatively coupled to a printing system and to a digital label database that comprises a plurality of digital labels, the computing system comprising:

a processor;

a label printing module that is executable by the processor to perform a plurality of actions in response to receiving a user request to create a label for an item, the plurality of actions comprising:

creating a print job that will cause the printing system to produce a printed physical label associated with the item, wherein the print job is configured such that the printed physical label comprises item information and a machine-readable object comprising an Internet address corresponding to a digital label; and

causing the digital label to be created in the digital label database such that informational content associated with the digital label is accessible via the Internet address, wherein the informational content is related to the item, and wherein the digital label comprises an item identifier that is uniquely associated with the item; and

at least one application programming interface (API) that enables the label printing module to create and update digital labels in the digital label database, wherein the at least one API facilitates multi-tenancy within a cloud computing environment.
