What you can print

Prepare Excel

  1. One row per label. Headers in row 1, for example sku, name, bin, qty, upc.
  2. File, Save As, CSV UTF-8 (important for special characters).
  3. Avoid merged cells and blank header columns.

Design the inventory barcode label

  1. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup.
  2. Pick size: 2×1 for product stickers, 3×2 for bin tags (see sizes guide).
  3. Add a barcode. Value {{sku}} or {{upc}}. Format CODE128 or UPC-A.
  4. Add text: {{name}}, optional BIN {{bin}}, QTY {{qty}}.
  5. Variables panel: paste or upload CSV, preview a row, then print.
Scan test: Print one sample and scan it with your handheld or phone before running 500 labels. Quiet zones (blank margins) around the barcode matter more than font choice.
