- LabelTemplate: A `LabelTemplate` defines the format for printing physical labels for inventory items, such as containers, plates, and boxes. Each template contains a template string, `zplTemplate`, that is populated with item data and sent to a compatible label printer. Template strings typically use ZPL (Zebra Programming Language), but for the most part, Benchling code treats them in a language agnostic way, and they can contain other printer languages, such as JScript, to work with less common printers. `LabelTemplate`s are associated with a Registry and enable consistent barcode labeling across an organization's inventory. `LabelTemplate`s can include dynamic fields for barcodes, names, dates, and custom metadata.
  - `__typename` string
  - `createdAt` string, datetime, nullable: DateTime the label template was created
  - `id` string: ID of the label template.
  - `modifiedAt` string, datetime, nullable: DateTime the label template was last modified
  - `name` string: Name of the label template.
  - `registry` RegistryRef
    - `__typename` string
    - `id` string, api_id
  - `zplTemplate` string: The ZPL template that will be filled in and sent to a printer.
