How it sells itself

Design labels in a drag-and-drop editor at true physical size, or start from built-in presets for Avery sheets and Dymo or Zebra rolls. Print the needed quantity based on your on-hand inventory, export a print-ready PDF, and use the calibration setting to align labels precisely on the page. A built-in duplicate finder flags any barcode assigned to more than one variant.

LabelFast prints barcode labels on the label printer you already own: DYMO and Zebra rolls, Avery sheets, round or custom sizes in mm or inches. Quantities default to your live stock on hand - pick products or scan one, and it queues a label per unit, no typing counts. Print on receiving from inventory transfers, generate missing SKUs and barcodes, and check an exact preview first.

Key points
  • New barcodes never overwrite existing ones, checked across your whole catalog
  • Built-in duplicate finder flags barcodes used on more than one variant
  • Vector labels print at true size — 66.675 mm prints as 66.675 mm
  • Presets for Avery sheets, Dymo and Zebra rolls, or any custom size
  • Label quantities default to your stock on hand - a full run in two clicks
  • Print from your catalog, a barcode scan, or a received inventory transfer
  • Avery, DYMO, Zebra, and custom sizes - with an exact preview before you print
  • Eight barcode types including QR, Data Matrix, EAN, UPC, and Code 128/39

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
