Deli case sample from the free label maker
This is the deli case template in the free app. Open it and swap in your own text.

You can make free deli labels for packed-on dates, item names, and allergen lines. Match the size to the stock you already use. This does not replace a legal-for-trade scale. Open the free label maker and start.

Good to know: Retail food dating and scale certification are yours. This does not replace a legal-for-trade scale labeler.

How to make deli labels

  1. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup.
  2. Open the deli case template, or set the size to the sticker on the case (often 2x1).
  3. Add the item name, packed-on or sell-by, and allergen line.
  4. Print a test. Then print the rest, or load Excel for the case list.

What to put on the label

Scale vs designer

If the scale already prints legal weight, use this for case signs and grab-and-go faces the scale cannot design.

Print a whole list from Excel or Google Sheets

Keep one item per row. Map the name and date into text. Preview one row, then print the stack. Guide: mail merge labels.

Print or save

If you're printing to a Zebra, use Browser Print and match the printer's DPI. Otherwise download PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. JSON is the file you can open again later.

Print the case list

Names and dates from a sheet. Not a scale. No account.
