Create Labels & Stickers Online Free
Quick answer: This tool builds a print-ready label sheet matching standard Avery template dimensions — the same layout used by pre-cut sticker paper sold at any office supply store. Fill in your product details once (or paste an entire product list), optionally embed a scannable barcode or QR code, and download a correctly-sized, multi-page PDF ready to print directly onto Avery-compatible label sheets.
🖨️ Print Setting: In your print dialog, set scale to "100% / Actual Size" — never "Fit to Page", or labels will misalign.
🧪 Test First: Print one page on plain paper and hold it against your Avery sheet to check alignment before printing the full batch.

Product Label Generator – Complete Guide
Avery is the de facto industry standard for pre-cut label sheets, with specific template numbers corresponding to exact label dimensions, sheet layouts, and margins. Matching your digital design to the correct template number is critical — even a small margin mismatch causes text to print off-center or partially cut off. This tool replicates the official measurements for the most commonly used templates so your printed output aligns correctly.
Avery Template Comparison
| Template | Label Size | Labels/Sheet | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avery 5160 / 8160 | 2⅝" × 1" | 30 | Address labels, retail price tags |
| Avery 5163 / 8163 | 4" × 2" | 10 | Shipping labels, larger product labels |
| Avery 5167 | 1¾" × ½" | 80 | Return address, small SKU labels |
| Avery 5195 | 1¾" × ⅔" | 60 | Barcode labels, ID tags |
| Avery 8293 | 2.5" round | 12 | Jar lids, gift stickers, seals |
| Avery 22807 | 2" round | 20 | Product seals, small round stickers |
Choosing Barcode vs QR Code
| Code Type | Best For | Requires |
|---|---|---|
| CODE128 Barcode | Inventory/POS systems, retail scanners | Compatible barcode scanner or POS hardware |
| QR Code | Linking to product pages, instructions, reviews | Any smartphone camera |
How the Generation Engine Works
- Template Metrics: Each Avery template's official column count, row count, margins, and gaps are stored as precise inch-based measurements.
- Layout Calculation: For every label, the tool calculates its exact X/Y position on the page based on its row and column index within the template grid.
- Code Generation: Barcode and QR images are rendered client-side (CODE128 via canvas-based barcode rendering, QR via a Unicode/matrix-based QR encoder) and cached to avoid duplicate rendering when many labels share the same code.
- Multi-Page Handling: When your label count exceeds one sheet's capacity, the tool automatically splits labels across additional pages, both in the preview and the final PDF.
- PDF Export: Using a real-unit (inches) PDF document matching your exact page size, each label's text and code image are placed at the precise calculated coordinates, ensuring print accuracy.
Recommended Settings by Use Case
| Use Case | Template | Code Type |
|---|---|---|
| Retail Shelf Pricing | Avery 5160 | Barcode |
| Shipping Boxes | Avery 5163 | QR Code (tracking link) |
| Small SKU Tags | Avery 5195 | Barcode |
| Gift/Jar Seals | Avery 8293 | No Code |
Security and Privacy Considerations
- Zero Network Transfer: All product data, prices, and codes are processed directly in your browser and never transmitted to any server.
- Client-Side Rendering Only: Layout calculation, barcode/QR generation, and PDF assembly all happen locally using JavaScript.
- No Data Storage: Nothing you enter is saved, logged, or stored beyond your current browser session.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Explanation: Most printers apply a small default scaling or margin adjustment. Solution: In your print dialog, ensure "Scale" is set to 100% or "Actual Size" — never "Fit to Printable Area" or "Shrink to Fit".
Explanation: Very small label templates (like Avery 5167) may compress the barcode too much for reliable scanning. Solution: Use a larger template (5160 or 5195) for anything requiring barcode scanning.
Explanation: Long product names or prices are automatically truncated to prevent overflow on small labels. Solution: Shorten the text, or switch to a larger label template with more horizontal space.
Explanation: Each line in the bulk textarea must be separated by a semicolon (;) between fields, and each product must be on its own new line. Solution: Check for missing semicolons or extra blank lines in your pasted list.
Frequently Asked Technical Questions
Question 1: How accurate are the Avery template measurements?
Answer: Dimensions are based on Avery's publicly documented specifications for each template number. Minor printer-specific variances can occur, which is why we recommend a single test print before running a full batch.
Question 2: What barcode format is used?
Answer: CODE128, a widely supported linear barcode format capable of encoding both numbers and letters, commonly used in retail and shipping labeling — compatible with virtually all standard barcode scanners.
Question 3: Can I generate hundreds of labels at once?
Answer: Yes. Bulk mode accepts as many product lines as you paste in, automatically splitting them across as many pages as needed in both the preview and the final PDF.
Question 4: Does the PDF include bleed or crop marks?
Answer: No, the PDF is sized to the exact template trim size without bleed. The optional "Cut Guides" setting adds dashed reference lines useful only when printing on plain, non-perforated sticker paper.
Question 5: Is my product and pricing data stored anywhere?
Answer: No. All data exists only in your browser's memory during your session. Closing or refreshing the tab clears it completely.
