Import Excel into labels without ZebraDesigner
The actual question people ask
ZebraDesigner’s Excel/database connect is the #1 “I thought this was included” complaint. Export the sheet as CSV, open the free maker, map headers to {{tokens}}, and print. You do not import .xlsx into ZebraDesigner at all. Open the free maker · label maker hub.
Steps that match the query
- File → Save as CSV (UTF-8) from Excel
- First row = header names that become tokens
- Put {{sku}} in text or a barcode field
- Preview, then print or export
What people try first
Word mail-merge and “set paper size to 2×1” is the other Reddit answer. It works until a barcode font fails to scan. Native barcodes here avoid that.
Batch from Excel or Google Sheets
Map column tokens into text, barcodes, or QR. Paste CSV, upload a file, or load a published Google Sheet. Preview rows, then print quantity 1 before the stack. Guide: mail merge · CSV mail merge.
Print or export
Zebra thermal: Browser Print at the printer’s DPI. Everyone else: Options → PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. JSON saves the editable master.
