Shelf price tags with a barcode, in the size you print on.
A clear price tag saves a lot of questions at the till. In each row type the barcode, the item name, its price and how many labels you need, and the labels appear exactly as they will print, to the millimetre: name, bars, then price. Pick one of four sizes, and print either an A4 sheet you cut up or a roll on a label printer. If an item has no barcode, make an in-store number for it with the barcode tool.
Add at least one item to see the labels.
Which size to pick
38×25 mm suits a shelf edge and small items, 50×30 mm is the general choice for shelves, 60×40 mm for longer names, and 100×50 mm for cartons and the stockroom. An A4 sheet holds 24 labels of 50×30, and the page tells you the count for each size and how many sheets you need.
Print at its real size
What ruins a label most often is "fit to page" in the print window, which shrinks the barcode until the scanner cannot read it. Choose 100%, print a test sheet, and scan one label before the big print.
Common questions
Which barcode types does it handle?
EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A and Code 128. The tool picks the type from the number and works out a missing check digit. A code it cannot encode is listed in a warning instead of being printed wrong.
Is my list saved?
No. The list stays in the open page only and is not uploaded. Keep it in a file if you want to print again later.
Do I need a label printer?
No. Print on plain A4 or on ready-made sticker sheets of the same size. If you print every day, the "label roll" option works with a thermal label printer.
