Make printable barcode labels with the product name and price, laid out on standard sheets of 30, 60 or 80 labels (or common A4 sheets). Enter your products and quantities, check the preview, and download a vector PDF that lines up with your label paper.

Columns are matched by header names (name/product, price, barcode/upc/ean/sku, qty/quantity). Without a header the order name, price, barcode, qty is used.
Printer alignment (nudge everything)
Print a test page with outlines on plain paper, hold it against a label sheet, and nudge if it is off. Negative values move left / up.
Use "Start at label #" to reuse a partly used sheet: labels before that position are left blank.

How to use the Barcode Label Sheet Maker
Enter your products: name, price, barcode value and how many labels you need, or import a CSV.
Choose the label sheet that matches your label paper (30, 60 or 80 per Letter sheet, A4 sheets or custom).
Pick the barcode type and what to show: name, price position, currency and barcode digits.
Check the preview and the notes for invalid codes or very thin bars.
Download the PDF and print at 100% / Actual size. Test on plain paper first and use the alignment nudge if needed.
Label sheet layouts
These are the layouts built into the tool. Measurements follow the common label sizes; if your paper is different, choose Custom layout and copy the numbers from the label packaging or the manufacturer's template.

Fitting a scannable barcode on a small label
A barcode's printed width is the number of modules (the narrowest bar unit, including the quiet zones) times the module width. UPC-A and EAN-13 are always 95 modules plus quiet zones, about 113 modules in total, so on a 1.75 in label the module is roughly 0.36 mm, close to the standard size. Code 128 grows with the text: each character costs 11 modules (two digits share one character), plus 35 for start, check and stop symbols and 20 for quiet zones. A 9-character SKU is about 154 modules, which still gives bars of about 0.26 mm on an 80-up label.
Keep SKUs short on small labels, or use digit-only values that Code 128 packs two per character.
Turn off the product name or the digits under the bars if the barcode gets too short to scan comfortably.
Use a laser printer or a good inkjet at its best quality setting; ink spread makes thin bars fatter and harder to read.
Black on white is safest. Avoid colored or glossy label stock that reflects the scanner light.
Before printing a full batch
Download the PDF and print page 1 on plain paper at 100% / Actual size, with Print label outlines turned on.
Hold the printout against a label sheet in front of a window or lamp and check that the outlines match the labels.
If everything is shifted, enter the difference in the printer alignment nudge (millimeters) and print again.
Scan a couple of codes with your scanner or phone, then turn outlines off and print on the label sheets.
Frequently asked questions
Which label sheets does this work with?
It has ready layouts for US Letter sheets of 30 labels (2.625 x 1 in, the 5160 size), 60 labels (1.75 x 0.667 in, the 5195 size), 80 labels (1.75 x 0.5 in, the 5167 size) and 10 labels (4 x 2 in), plus A4 sheets of 21, 24 and 65 labels. For any other paper choose Custom layout and enter the label size, margins and gaps from the packaging.
Why don't my labels line up when I print?
Most often the print dialog is set to Fit to page or Shrink, which scales the PDF. Choose 100% or Actual size. If everything is still shifted by the same amount, print a test sheet with outlines on plain paper, compare it with the label sheet, and enter a small right/down nudge in millimeters.
Can I print different quantities for each product?
Yes. The Labels column sets how many copies of each product are printed, in order. Turn on Repeat list to fill the sheet if you want the last page filled completely by cycling through the products.
Can I use a sheet that already has some labels peeled off?
Yes. Set Start at label # to the first free position, counted left to right and top to bottom. Earlier positions on the first page are left blank.
Will an 80-per-sheet label scan?
Usually, if the barcode value is short. The 1.75 x 0.5 in label leaves little width, so long Code 128 values get very thin bars. The tool shows the narrowest bar width; above about 0.25 mm most scanners read it reliably. Shorter SKUs, UPC-A or EAN-8 codes work best on tiny labels.
Which barcode type should I use on price labels?
Use the barcode your point-of-sale system expects. Retail items with GS1 numbers use UPC-A (US and Canada) or EAN-13 (most other countries). For your own SKUs, Code 128 is the most compact general-purpose option and accepts letters and numbers.
Is the PDF high quality?
Yes. Bars and text are written as vector shapes and standard fonts, so they print sharp at any printer resolution and the file stays small.
Are all the tools on FreeToolCabin tested for quality and accuracy?
Yes! Every tool on our site undergoes automated Q/A testing in real browser environments to ensure high precision, correct output, and zero errors. If you happen to spot a bug or have a suggestion, please contact us at [email protected] and our team will review it right away.
