Free bakery labels online

You can make free bakery labels online in a few minutes: the product name large, the price under it, and an allergen line only if you type one. Set the size, print one, stick it on the bag you sell.

Print the name and the price

Type what's in the bag, print one, and check it on the bag before the rest. No signup.

Bread and cookie label examples

These are real renders from the editor. The bakery names, prices and dates are made up for the examples. Click one and it opens with the same layout and text.

Bread label from a bake sheet2 x 3 in. Product, Ingredients, Contains, Price, Baked, SKU. Cookie bag sticker2 x 2 in. Flavor, allergen line you type, bake date. Case price tag3 x 1 in. Long product name, case, price, SKU barcode.

Name and price first

The name is what someone asks for at the counter. Sourdough, rye, ginger cookie. Keep it large.

The price sits under it, in numbers you can change without rebuilding the whole label.

A bake date or pack date helps you pull yesterday's bread. It doesn't have to be a paragraph. "Baked today" is a choice you make, so mean it when you print it.

Bag or box: check the size before you print

A bread bag and a cookie box want different labels. Measure the flat face where the sticker goes, then pick the stock.

• Bread bag: the 2 x 3 bread label has room for the name, a short ingredient list, a contains line, the price and the bake date. A bag folds, so stick it on the flat side, not over the fold or the clip.
• Cookie bag or small box: a 2x2 sticker fits a bag or a small box. It won't fit a full ingredient list. If the cookie needs more words, use a bigger label or a card in the case, and keep the sticker to the name and the price.
• The case: a 3 x 1 strip in front of the tray carries the long name, the price and a SKU if your till scans one.

At home with an inkjet and a Saturday list, an Avery sheet is the easy path. Don't scale the page. The stickers drift and you cut through the price. Other food layouts are on the food label page, and general product stickers on product labels.

Allergens are a line you fill in

If the loaf has wheat in it, you already know that. Type it if you want it on the sticker.

The editor won't detect flour, a shared fryer, or a nut crust you forgot. It won't tell you which words your market requires either. This isn't legal advice.

Print the allergen line only after you've decided the wording, the same way you decide the price.

Free bakery labels from your bake sheet

Print from the sheet, not from memory at the counter. Here is the fictional bake sheet behind the first example. The product names are split over two lines in the sheet, so they stack on the label:

1. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com with the bake sheet sample. No signup. The two rows above are already loaded.
2. Click Data and upload your own Excel or CSV file, or paste the rows. Keep the column names in the first row.
3. Click a text box, then Variables, and pick the column: Product in the middle, Ingredients under it, Contains on its own line, Price and Baked at the bottom.
4. Step to the row with the longest ingredient list. In the sample that's Olive Rosemary. If it crowds the contains line, make the type a little smaller or use a bigger label.
5. Open Edit row and tick the breads you baked today. Rows start unticked.
6. Click Print and enter how many labels each loaf needs.

Only one bread today? Click Print this. It prints the label on the canvas and asks how many copies.

Sort the sheet the way the trays sit in the case, so you aren't hunting for the rye label under the cookies.

Then proof the longest name. "Olive and rosemary loaf" is the one that wraps. Shorten it on the sticker if the bag is small, and keep the full name on the case card.

A barcode is optional. A farm stand rarely scans a cookie. A wholesale account might. Add a code only when the buyer gave you one to use. Don't invent a UPC for a one-day bun.

The same steps work for any list. Printing labels from Excel goes through the columns in more detail.

Stick it where the bag survives

A warm bag fogs a cold sticker. Let the bread cool, or use a label you know can handle a little heat, and press the corners down.

A label on the bottom of a box gets torn by the counter. Put the name on top, where the next person in line can read it.

That's all a bakery label is here: your name, your price, and any allergen words you typed. The oven, the recipe, and the rules for your kitchen stay with you.
