Open shelf tag template

Shelf tag sample from the free label maker
This is the shelf tag template in the free app. Open it and swap in your own text.

You can print shelf labels from Excel when the item list already lives in a workbook. Open the free label maker, set 2x1 or 3x1, map {{name}} {{price}} {{sku}}, and print the aisle.

Good to know: Measure the shelf lip. A 3x1 on a 1-inch channel will curl. Set the size to the plastic, not to the cell in Excel.

How to print shelf labels from Excel

  1. Export name, price, SKU. One row per facing.
  2. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup. Set the channel size you measured.
  3. Map {{name}}, {{price}}, and a barcode on {{sku}} if you scan it.
  4. Preview two SKUs. Print the run. Reprint one row after a price change.

Weekly price changes

Do not rebuild the layout. Change the cell, reload the CSV, print the rows that moved. Keep the JSON as the master face.

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.

Print the aisle

Map the sheet. Test two facings.
