That's the Professional pitch: variable data from a spreadsheet, real barcodes, print. You can do it this afternoon without paying.

Which ZebraDesigner Pro features you get for free here

A visual label. Custom size in inches. CODE128, UPC you own, EAN, QR, Data Matrix. Excel upload. CSV. Google Sheets (Professional still doesn't take a live Sheet). Preview each row. Print this one, or print the rows you checked. Serial numbers 001, 002, 003. Today's date or a use-by. Copy ZPL. A ZPL viewer. Print on Mac or Windows. Save the design and open it later.

That's most of what a packing table uses Professional 3 for. mylabelmaker is how you get those ZebraDesigner Pro features for free.

What you still need ZebraDesigner Professional 3 for

RFID tags. Opening a .nlbl file a vendor sent. Formats stored inside the printer. Company rules that name Zebra's software. If that's you, buy Pro. If that's not you, don't.

Excel is the usual reason people almost buy Pro

Essentials won't merge a sheet. Professional will, if the file sits on that Windows PC. Here you upload Excel in the browser, or paste a published Google Sheet. When the sheet changes, load it again. Related: ZebraDesigner Professional 3 free alternative · print from Excel without Professional.

When you're ready to print or save

If a Zebra is plugged in, print from the browser. Set 203, 300, or 600 DPI to match the printer. On a regular printer, choose Print from this computer. You can also download a PNG, a PDF, or the ZPL code a Zebra reads. Save a JSON file if you want to open this label again later, spreadsheet included.
