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

Open product sticker template

A bill of materials is already a list. Design one parts label in the free label maker. Barcode {{part}}. Add {{name}}. Upload the BOM. Print a sticker for every line.

Good to know: Use the part number your MRP or vendor already uses. A second code on the bin causes pick errors.

How to print parts barcodes from a BOM

  1. Headers: part, name, loc (optional).
  2. Open the free label maker. Set 2x1.
  3. CODE128 with {{part}}. {{name}} under the bars.
  4. Upload the Excel file. Scan a part you know. Print.

Sample spreadsheet

A short mechanical BOM might look like this.

partnameloc
HX-M4-12M4x12 hex capD-04
BRG-608608 bearingD-11
SHM-0.50.5mm shimD-18

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

Electronics bins: electronics bin barcodes. Kits: kitting barcodes from a BOM.

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.
