Batch print labels on Zebra printers from Excel or CSV
Batch printing is the difference between clicking Print 200 times and generating an entire SKU list or ship-day roster in one pass. US warehouses, Amazon prep centers, and multi-channel sellers use CSV/Excel → Zebra every day. Here is the free browser workflow with mylabelmaker.
What you need
- Zebra desktop (ZD420, ZD421, GK420d, ZP450, etc.) + Browser Print
- Spreadsheet with one row per label (headers in row 1)
- Free editor: app.mylabelmaker.com
Step-by-step batch print
- Export Excel or Google Sheets as CSV UTF-8.
- Open mylabelmaker and set label size (4×6 shipping, 2×1 product, 3×2 bin, etc.) and DPI to match the printer.
- Design the layout once, static logos + variable fields.
- Place tokens that match your headers:
{{name}},{{sku}},{{barcode}},{{address1}},{{city}},{{state}},{{zip}}. - Paste or import CSV under Variables. Preview row by row.
- Print the selection (or all rows) to the Zebra via Browser Print.
Header names must match tokens. If the sheet says
SKU, use {{SKU}} (or rename the column). Spaces in headers are fine if tokens match exactly.Popular US batch jobs
