Label Toolkit
Label Toolkit is a browser-based label designer for creating and printing labels.
What Label Toolkit is
Label Toolkit is a browser-based label designer for creating and printing labels. Its layout tools handle text, logos, borders, and barcodes such as UPC, EAN, GS1-128, QR, and Data Matrix. QR codes can be styled with custom colors, module shapes, finder eyes, and a center logo. The designer can also turn a text description into an editable layout and connect its fields to columns in a dataset. For batch work, import a CSV, map columns to label fields, preview rows, and create one label per row; the workflow handles 10 to 10,000 rows and supports serial numbering and conditional visibility. Finished labels export as vector PDF or ZPL for Zebra thermal printers. Existing ZPL files can be imported, although some commands or content, including embedded raw graphics, may not be recoverable. Google Sheets and Excel data must be exported as CSV; XLSX is not read directly. The editor and template gallery are free without signup, and a free public ZPL API is available.
