See every featureTake complete control of your label layouts and how they reach the printer. A WYSIWYG editor gives the title, price, SKU, variant options, barcode and custom text each their own position, font size and weight, wrapped in its own box. Print counts default to stock at the location you select. Override any row, or switch to shelf tag mode for one label per variant.
Shelfmark Labels creates print-ready labels for the products and variants you select in your admin. Choose how many labels you need, pick a predefined or custom label size, and download a PDF with the exact page size of your label stock. Labels can show the title, variant, SKU, barcode and the product's selling and compare-at amounts.
