Print MUNBYN thermal label printer labels from Excel or Google Sheets

If you keep your stock in a spreadsheet, your MUNBYN thermal label printer can turn each row into a label: a 4 x 6 for every restock carton, a 3 x 2 for each variant, a 2 x 1 SKU for the shelf. Upload the Excel file or CSV, connect the columns, tick the rows you're restocking today, and print the batch from your computer. No signup.

How it works

Every row in your spreadsheet becomes a label

Product and Variant fill the text, SKU fills the barcode, one label per row. These are real 2 x 1 in renders of the five rows. Try the same file: CSV, Excel.

Make a MUNBYN batch

Open the 4 x 6 restock carton label with five sample cartons, then load your own list.

A restock list for a small packing bench

Picture a small shop with one shelf unit behind the packing table. A delivery comes in, the cartons get counted, and someone types them into a sheet: carton number, SKU, product, how many, and which shelf it goes to. Then every carton needs a label so the next person knows what's inside without opening it.

That's the fictional list behind the 4 x 6 example. The shop and the counts are made up:

CartonSKUProductQtyShelf
CT-0301A-203Stoneware mug24B-2
CT-0302A-204Stoneware mug24B-2
CT-030300123Linen tea towel40C-1
CT-030400124Linen tea towel40C-1
CT-0305A-205Stoneware mug12B-3

Each row prints one carton label: the carton number big at the top, the product and SKU under it, the quantity and the shelf side by side, and a barcode of the carton number at the bottom. When a carton is opened and the items go out on the shelf, they get their own smaller labels from the product list below.

MUNBYN label examples from a spreadsheet

These are real renders from the editor, black on white for a direct thermal roll. Each card opens that layout with its sample sheet loaded. The data is fictional.

The 3 x 2 and 2 x 1 cards read a simple product list with SKU, Product, Variant and Batch columns, such as SKU 00123, Linen tea towel, Natural, B-1107. You can download the same five rows as a CSV or an Excel file and try it before you use your own.

Match your MUNBYN model and the 2 x 1, 3 x 2 or 4 x 6 roll

MUNBYN sells more than one desktop thermal printer, and they don't all take the same media widths. Before you buy 2 x 1 rolls for shelf labels, look up the widths your exact model accepts in its own manual or on MUNBYN's support page for that model. A listing photo of a different printer is not a good guide.

Then open the layout that matches the roll you actually loaded. The label size in the editor should be the size printed on the roll's box, not a 4 x 6 shrunk down. The MUNBYN label sizes page opens each common roll.

Load your list from Excel, Google Sheets or CSV

Format SKU columns as Text in Excel before you type codes like 00123. If Excel has already dropped the zeros, the file only has 123 and the barcode will match it.

Connect product, variant and batch, then pick rows and copies

  1. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com with the restock carton sample, or the 3 x 2 or 2 x 1 card. No signup.
  2. Click Data and upload your list. Leave the mode on Each row, so every row makes one label.
  3. Click a text box on the label, click Variables, and choose the column for it. On the 3 x 2, that's Product, Variant and Batch. Click the barcode and connect it to SKU (or Carton on the 4 x 6), so every label scans as its own row.
  4. Step through the rows with the arrows and look at the longest product name before you print anything.
  5. Open Edit row. Rows start unticked. Type "mug" in the search box and only the mug rows are left; tick the ones that came in today.
  6. Choose This computer in the top bar, click Print, and set Copies. Copies apply to every ticked row: two rows at Copies 3 is six labels. There is no per-row quantity column, so if one SKU needs 40 labels and another needs 12, print them as two runs.

One damaged label to replace? Print this prints only the label on the screen.

Check paper size, orientation and scaling

The editor hands the label to your computer's print dialog, and the MUNBYN driver does the rest. Install the driver for your model on your Mac or Windows PC first. This page doesn't connect to the MUNBYN phone app, and there's no Bluetooth pairing here: it's the computer route.

Print one, scan the barcode, then print the rest. For other ways to label stock, see inventory labels and product labels.

MUNBYN spreadsheet label questions

Does this connect to the MUNBYN phone app?

No. You design and print in a browser on your computer, and the label goes to the MUNBYN driver installed there. There is no phone app or Bluetooth connection.

Why does the driver paper size have to match the label?

The driver decides how much roll to feed. A 2 x 1 label sent with a 4 x 6 paper size leaves a long blank tail, and the reverse cuts the label off. Set them both to the roll you loaded.

Can I print just a few rows from my restock list?

Yes. Rows start unticked. Open Edit row, search for the product, and tick only the rows you need. Print sends only the ticked rows.

Do I have to make my Google Sheet public?

No. Download the sheet as a CSV and upload the file in Data. The Google Sheet link route only works for a sheet that is published.
