Print rental equipment barcodes from Excel

Published: · 3 min read · How-to
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 asset tag template

The rental book is an Excel list: asset, name, bay. Design one tag in the free label maker, barcode {{asset}}, add {{name}}, then print before Friday check-out.

Good to know: Use the asset ID your checkout sheet already uses. A second number on the tool causes missing-gear fights.

How to print rental equipment barcodes from Excel

  1. Headers: asset, name, bay.
  2. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup. Set 2x1 or 3x2.
  3. CODE128 with {{asset}}. {{name}} large. {{bay}} small.
  4. Upload the Excel file. Tag two tools. Scan. Then the weekend stack.

Sample spreadsheet

A weekend party-rental checkout list.

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

IT gear uses the same pattern: asset tags from equipment Excel.

Print or save

Got a Zebra? Print from the browser with Browser Print, at the printer's DPI. Otherwise download PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. JSON keeps the label you can open later.
