Print QR code labels on Zebra printers

Published: · Updated: · 3 min read

QR codes turn a small thermal sticker into a deep link: product page, asset record, Wi‑Fi login, warranty form, or event check-in. mylabelmaker generates native QR on a visual canvas and batch-prints a unique code per Excel row to Zebra printers, free, browser-based, Mac and Windows.

Common US use cases

Single QR label

  1. Open app.mylabelmaker.com.
  2. Set label size (2×2 or 2×1 works well for QR-only).
  3. Add QR → paste URL or text payload.
  4. Optional caption text under the code.
  5. Print at printer-native DPI for clean modules.

Unique QR per spreadsheet row

  1. CSV columns e.g. url, asset_id, name.
  2. QR field value: {{url}} (or build a pattern like https://example.com/a/{{asset_id}} in the sheet).
  3. Text: {{name}} or {{asset_id}}.
  4. Load CSV in Variables → preview → batch print.

Excel deep dive: print labels from Excel. Inventory barcodes (linear): inventory labels.

Size tip: Keep QR large enough for phone cameras at arm’s length, roughly 0.8"+ module area for dense URLs. High DPI (300) helps small labels.

QR vs linear barcodes

Use CODE128/UPC for classic inventory scanners; use QR when the payload is a URL or long string. Many US warehouses print both on the same label. Free linear maker overview: barcode label maker online.
