US warehouses and retail backrooms live on spreadsheet inventory. You do not need BarTender to turn an Excel SKU list into scannable thermal labels. mylabelmaker is a free browser barcode label maker: design once, load CSV, print one CODE128/UPC label per row on any Zebra supported by Browser Print.
What you can print
- SKU / product stickers. CODE128 or UPC-A + product name
- Bin / shelf locations, aisle-rack-level codes for pick paths
- Stock quantity tags. SKU + QTY for cycle counts
- Receiving labels. PO number + SKU barcode
Prepare Excel
- One row per label. Headers in row 1: e.g.
sku,name,bin,qty,upc. - File → Save As → CSV UTF-8 (important for special characters).
- Avoid merged cells and blank header columns.
Design the inventory label
- Open app.mylabelmaker.com.
- Pick size: 2×1 for product stickers, 3×2 for bin tags (see sizes guide).
- Add barcode → value
{{sku}}or{{upc}}, format CODE128 or UPC-A. - Add text:
{{name}}, optionalBIN {{bin}},QTY {{qty}}. - Variables panel → paste/upload CSV → preview each row → Print.
Scan test: Print one sample and scan with your handheld or phone app before running 500 labels. Quiet zones (blank margins) around the barcode matter more than font choice.
