How it sells itself

LabelPress prints barcode and shelf labels for retailers on Shopify POS, starting from the purchase order. Drop the PDF of a Shopify purchase order, or a supplier CSV, and every line lands in the print queue with its quantity filled in. Use built-in Avery, Dymo and Zebra sizes or type your own dimensions and watch a true-size preview.

MaxPrintAlign helps Shopify merchants create barcode labels that match their thermal printer and label stock. Create a printer profile, print a calibration sheet, adjust X/Y alignment and scale, then select product variants and generate exact-size PDF labels. It uses an existing Shopify barcode when available and falls back to SKU when needed.

Key points
  • Import a purchase order: drop the Shopify PO PDF or a CSV, quantities included
  • Built-in Avery, Dymo and Zebra sizes plus a custom size editor with live preview
  • Bulk quantities: set all, match stock at a location, or zero everything
  • Choose the fields, font and alignment; saved layouts never change on updates
  • Calibrate label output with test sheets, X/Y alignment, and scale controls.
  • Generate exact-size PDFs from existing Shopify barcodes or SKUs.
  • Save printer profiles and review label quantities before generating each batch
