Batch Print from a Spreadsheet

Export your inventory or stock file as CSV. Import it and print one label per item — with a unique barcode on each for scanning.

Tips

Use Code 128 for internal SKUs — encodes any alphanumeric text and works with every barcode scanner.
Include human-readable text — print the SKU/serial number in text above or below the barcode for visual checks.
Add a description line — "Widget Assembly - Blue - 50mm" helps staff identify items without scanning.
Use sequential numbering — create a spreadsheet with a sequence column (001, 002, 003…) for serial number labels.
Print on durable stock — inventory labels in warehouses face dust and handling. Use synthetic or laminated labels for longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What barcode for inventory labels?

Code 128 is the standard for internal inventory — it encodes any text (letters + numbers). For retail products sold to consumers, use EAN-13 (international) or UPC-A (US). QR codes work for linking to your inventory management system.

Can I print sequential serial numbers?

Yes. Create a spreadsheet with a serial number column (SN-0001, SN-0002, etc.), import it, and each label gets a unique serial number with matching barcode.

Can I batch print from our inventory system?

Yes. Export your inventory as CSV or Excel, import it into OpenLabelMaker, and print labels for all items at once. Works with any system that can export to CSV.
