Google Sheets can hold the SKUs. It should not have to fake a barcode with a font. Publish the sheet as CSV, open the free label maker, map {{sku}} to a CODE128 barcode, print.

Good to know: Publish to the web as CSV (File, Share, Publish to web). A normal share link will not load.

How to print barcodes from a Sheet

  1. Headers: sku, name. File, Share, Publish to web, CSV. Copy the URL.
  2. Open the free label maker. Set 2x1.
  3. Barcode {{sku}}. Text {{name}}.
  4. Variables, Google Sheet, paste the CSV URL. Preview. Print.

Sample spreadsheet

A live inventory tab might look like this before you publish it.

skuname
BIN-A12Spare filters
BIN-A13Belts
BIN-B01Gloves

First row is the header. Those header words go inside the curly braces on the label, like {{sku}}.

QR instead of bars: QR from Google Sheets. Upload a file instead: Sheet CSV to labels.

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.
