Can I print bulk barcode labels from a spreadsheet?

Yes. One row per label. Put the barcode value in a column, design once, upload the file, print every row. Free. No Word mail merge.

Do I need ZebraDesigner or a paid license?

No. Design in the browser and print with Zebra Browser Print, or export PNG, PDF, or ZPL. No desktop designer seat.

Can I print a whole list from Excel?

Yes. Map a column into text, a barcode, or a QR code, preview a row, then print the stack. The file stays in your browser.

Do this in the free app: app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup. Design the label, then print on a Zebra or download PNG / PDF / ZPL.

Open product sticker template

Bulk barcode labels means one layout and a different code on every sticker. Put SKUs in Excel. Design one label in the free label maker. Map the barcode to {{sku}}. Print the stack.

Good to know: Format the SKU column as text in Excel so leading zeros do not disappear.

How to print a bulk barcode run

Sheet headers: sku, name. One row per sticker.
Open the free label maker. Set 2x1 or your stock.
Add a CODE128 barcode with {{sku}}. Add {{name}} under it.
Variables, Upload the Excel file. Preview two rows. Print.

Sample spreadsheet

A 200-SKU restock sheet can start this small.

sku	name
10001	Black tee M
10002	Black tee L
10003	Navy hoodie

First row is the header. Those header words go inside the curly braces on the label, like {{sku}}.

Same idea from a CSV: barcode labels from CSV. Core steps: many labels from Excel.

Print or save

Zebra thermal: print from the browser with Browser Print at the printer’s DPI. Everyone else: download PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. JSON keeps the editable master.

The SKU list you already keep. Stickers on the boxes.
