Why shops make Zebra labels from Excel here instead of Professional 3

Professional 3 can attach Excel, on that Windows PC, after you pay. The file has to live on disk. When someone updates the shared workbook, you download it again. Google Sheets isn't a source. The screens feel like IT software because they are.

Here you upload the .xlsx in Chrome or Safari. Click sku onto a barcode. Print. Mac works. You don't pay. That's how to make Zebra labels from Excel without fighting the designer.

Google Sheets and CSV if it isn't Excel

Publish a Sheet as CSV and paste the URL. Or upload a CSV export. Keep the column names. Related: print from Excel without ZebraDesigner Professional · Zebra labels from a spreadsheet.

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.
