Free barcode label generator

Paste your codes, pick the label sheet you actually buy, download a print ready PDF. Yes, and there is no account, no email and no watermark. Nothing you paste is stored, logged or sent anywhere except back to you as a PDF.

Your codes

One per line. Optionally add a name and a quantity after it, separated by commas or tabs, so you can paste two or three columns straight out of a spreadsheet.

Label size

What goes on each label Product name The code as text Print a ruler you can measure, so you can check your printer is not scaling (in the margin on sheet sizes, on an extra label on rolls)

Up to 250 labels per sheet, 100 of any one code. The PDF downloads straight away. Checking first tells you which codes become real retail barcodes and which do not, before you print anything.

Print it right the first time

Nine times out of ten the print dialog scaled the page. Tick the ruler option above, print one sheet or one label, and measure the printed line. The line says its own length next to it: if it does not measure that, set your printer to actual size or 100 percent and print again. Every label size in the list is defined at its real physical dimensions, so the only thing that usually goes wrong is between the PDF and the paper.

Two more worth knowing. Print on plain paper first and hold it against a sheet of your real label stock to check the grid lines up. And scan a few labels with the scanner you actually use, not with a phone from six inches away, because a phone camera is far more forgiving than a wedge scanner.

What it makes

A code of 8, 12 or 13 digits that passes its check digit is rendered as a real EAN-8, UPC-A or EAN-13. Everything else is rendered as Code 128, which is what most warehouse and internal SKUs use. A code that looks like a GTIN but fails its check digit is not silently printed as one, because that would scan back as a different number or not at all: it falls through to Code 128, and Check my codes lists which ones did.

Bar widths follow the GS1 minimums rather than stretching to fill the label, which is the single change that took my Avery 5160 output from failing at 4 degrees of tilt to reading past 10.

What this cannot do

It has no idea what your products are. It prints exactly what you paste, so it cannot look a SKU up, cannot fill in a price, and cannot know a barcode you have not typed. It also does not export ZPL for roll printers here, and it does not remember anything, so there is no reprint of last Tuesday's run.

All of those are the Shopify half, and they are what AK: PO & Barcode Label Printer does: pull the list from a purchase order file or a native inventory transfer, match it to your real products, and keep every job so a reprint comes back exactly as it printed. It is live on the Shopify App Store at apps.shopify.com/aislekit-label-print.
