Design your own labels
Learn how to create custom barcode and QR code labels for your storeroom with repleno, including templates, printing options, and practical layout tips.
What you need
- Label sheets (Avery, Herma, or Zweckform, from around $8 on Amazon)
- A regular printer (laser or inkjet, whatever you have at the office)
That's it. No special hardware, no external software.
Which size fits?
The right label size depends on where you stick them:
- Small labels (approx. 46 x 25 mm): For boxes, containers, small parts. Example: Avery L4770.
- Medium labels (approx. 70 x 37 mm): For shelf compartments and drawers. Example: Zweckform 3474.
- Large labels (approx. 96 x 51 mm): For shelves, pallets, large packages. Example: Herma 4099.
The Label Designer in repleno supports 68 formats. You pick yours and labels are arranged to fit the sheet perfectly.
If you want to see how a sheet turns out before your items live in repleno, the free label generator does the same CSV-to-PDF step in the browser, without an account.
How the Label Designer works
- Choose a label format (e.g. Avery L4770)
- Place elements: barcode, QR code, item name, storage location, logo
- Review the preview
- Export as PDF
- Print on the label sheet
- Attach labels at storage locations
When custom labels make sense
- Your supplier does not print a barcode on the packaging
- You want uniform labels across your entire storage
- Storage locations should have a scannable barcode
- You want item name and storage location directly on the label
For weatherproof or particularly durable labels (outdoor storage, construction sites), we recommend professional printing, e.g. from Labelident or Brady.
