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

How to print labels from Excel without Word mail-merge tables or a barcode font that will not scan: put each value in a column, open the free label maker, map {{sku}} or {{name}}, preview, then print.

Good to know: We process the sheet in your browser. We do not store the Excel file. Unique codes are yours. We do not issue GS1 prefixes.

How to print labels from Excel in the browser

  1. Put each name, SKU, or code in its own column. Save as CSV if you like.
  2. Open the free label maker and set the size to your stock.
  3. Add text or a native barcode (not an Excel font). Map the column, for example {{sku}}.
  4. Preview row 1 and a row near the end. Print the stack on a Zebra, or export PDF.

Why Word mail merge fights thermal printers

Word thinks in Letter pages. A Zebra thinks in one label. Mapping a column onto a 2x1 canvas is the shorter path. If a barcode font in Excel will not scan, rebuild it as native CODE128 here.

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.
