Cable label sample from the free label maker
This is the cable label template in the free app. Open it and swap in your own text.

You can print cable labels from a spreadsheet without redrawing each flag. Put from and to in columns, open the free label maker, set a tall thin flag size, map {{from}} and {{to}}, then print the loom.

Good to know: We design the face. Self-laminating wrap stock is yours to buy. We do not encode RFID.

How to print cable labels from a spreadsheet

  1. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup.
  2. Sheet columns: from, to, optional circuit id. A tall thin flag size works.
  3. Map {{from}} and {{to}}. Keep the type large enough to read on a cable.
  4. Preview two rows. Print the loom.

The same list can print a panel strip if you set a wider size. Two JSON files, one CSV.

Print or save

If you have a Zebra, print from this computer with Browser Print. Match the printer's DPI. Everyone else: download PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. Keep the JSON if you want to edit this later.
