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

Make cottage bakery labels without Canva when the file looks fine on a phone and prints wrong on sticker paper. Set the real size in the free label maker, drop in ingredients from a sheet, print a test on the bag.

Good to know: You can still draw a logo in Canva and upload the PNG here. Use this app for size, batch, and type that has to stay readable.

How to make bakery labels without fighting Canva

  1. Open the free label maker and set the exact sticker size (not Letter).
  2. Upload a logo PNG if you have one. Add {{product}} and {{ingredients}}.
  3. Load the recipe sheet. Preview two SKUs.
  4. Print one on the real bag. Then print the day.

Why bakers leave Canva for this job

Canva thinks in pretty pages. A thermal or sticker printer thinks in one label. Mapping a recipe row onto a 2x3 face is the shorter path for Monday’s bake.

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.

Skip the Letter-size file

Real sizes. A sheet of recipes.
