How to Create Barcode Labels

Sometimes you just need a sticker with a code on it to stick on a box.

1. Prepare Data

Just one column: Code.

  • Values: 1001, 1002, 1003...

2. Layout

  • Use small, high-density labels (e.g., 80 per page).
  • Avery 5167 (Return Address size) works well for small barcodes.

3. Design

  1. Delete everything else: Remove text boxes.
  2. Add Barcode: Expand it to fill the entire label space.
  3. Text: Decide if you want the human-readable numbers. If the label is tiny, turn "Show Text" OFF in barcode properties and add a separate text box with a bold font for better legibility.

4. Verify

  • Scan the First, Middle, and Last label of a printed sheet to ensure the print quality remained consistent and scannable across the page.
