Label Printing Templates — Free Online Label Designer
Create and print product labels, shipping labels, barcode labels, and inventory tags directly in your browser. Print Shuttle is a free label designer supporting 40 barcode formats and Excel batch printing — no software installation or account required.
What Is a Label Printing Tool?
A label printing tool lets you design and print labels for products, packages, inventory, and shipping without dedicated label design software. Print Shuttle is a free browser-based label designer built on the Fabric.js canvas engine that provides professional-grade layout capabilities including precise positioning, text formatting, image placement, and barcode generation. Unlike Canva or Avery Design & Print, Print Shuttle runs entirely in your browser — your product data, pricing, and inventory information never leave your device.
Print Shuttle supports 40 barcode formats through the bwip-js library, making it ideal for retail product labels (EAN-13, UPC-A), warehouse shipping labels (GS1-128, ITF-14), library systems (Code 128, Code 39), and postal services (USPS Intelligent Mail, Royal Mail, Japan Post). Barcodes can be dynamically bound to Excel data fields for batch generation.
When Should You Use a Label Printing Tool?
- Retail product labeling — Generate price tags and product labels with EAN-13 or UPC-A barcodes, product names, and pricing from your inventory spreadsheet.
- Warehouse and logistics — Create shipping labels with GS1-128 or ITF-14 barcodes for pallet labeling, carton marking, and dispatch documentation.
- Inventory management — Print Code 128 or QR Code labels for asset tracking, bin labeling, and stock management systems.
- Food and beverage labeling — Design nutrition labels, ingredient lists, and batch number labels for food packaging compliance.
- Event and conference badges — Produce name badges with QR codes for event check-in, access control, and networking.
How to Print Labels with Barcodes
- Set your label dimensions: Open Print Shuttle and configure the paper size to match your label sheets. Use custom dimensions for non-standard label formats.
- Add barcodes: Click the Barcode tool and choose from 40 formats. Place the barcode on your label and configure type, size, bar height, color, and human-readable text display.
- Design the label layout: Add product name, price, weight, description, and other text elements. Insert logos or product images. Use the alignment and distribution tools for precise layout.
- Set up batch printing: Load your product spreadsheet (.xlsx) in the Data Source panel. Bind columns to text and barcode fields. Each row generates one unique label.
- Export and print: Export as PDF for commercial printing or use the browser's native print dialog. The split mode option prints two label copies per page.
Common Label Printing Challenges
Barcode format compatibility
Different industries require different barcode symbologies. Retail needs EAN-13 or UPC-A, logistics uses GS1-128, healthcare uses GS1 DataBar, and libraries use Code 39. Print Shuttle supports all 40 standard barcode formats through bwip-js, so you never need a separate barcode generator tool.
Batch label generation from inventory data
Manually creating hundreds of individual labels is error-prone and time-consuming. Print Shuttle's variable data feature connects directly to your Excel inventory file: bind columns to label fields and generate all labels in one click. Barcode content, product names, prices, and SKUs all update automatically per row.
Custom label sheet dimensions
Not all label sheets follow standard paper sizes. Print Shuttle supports fully custom dimensions in millimeters, so you can match any Avery, DYMO, Zebra, or custom label template precisely.
Data privacy for pricing and inventory
Cloud-based design tools upload your product data and pricing to their servers. Print Shuttle processes everything in your browser — your inventory data, pricing strategy, and product information remain completely private. This is critical for competitive business data.
