Frequently Asked Questions

Can I print labels without special software?
Yes. OpenLabelMaker runs entirely in your browser. Design your label, export as PDF, and print from any computer or Chromebook. No download, no account, no subscription.
What label paper should I buy?
For inkjet/laser printers, Avery labels are widely available (Avery 5160 for addresses, L7163 for A4). For thermal printers, buy direct-thermal rolls matching your printer (4×6 for Zebra/Rollo, DYMO-compatible rolls for LabelWriters).
Can I print labels from my phone?
You can design labels on any device with a browser. For printing, you'll get the best results from a desktop/laptop connected to your printer. Export the PDF and print from there.
How do I print multiple labels at once?
Use the batch printing feature. Import a spreadsheet (Excel, CSV, Google Sheets) and print hundreds of unique labels in one go.
