Can I create barcode labels for products or inventory?
Choose a supported barcode format such as Code 128 and enter data that meets that format's rules. Add label fields for your inventory workflow, then export or print and test the result. Drawing a barcode does not assign an official GS1 product identifier or register a retail product.

Designing & Printing Barcode Labels
To ensure your printed barcodes can be easily scanned by mobile devices and hardware laser scanners, keep these best practices in mind:
- High Contrast: Always maintain a high contrast ratio between the bars (foreground) and the space (background). Black bars on a white background is the gold standard. Avoid pastel colors for barcode lines.
- Quiet Zone: Barcodes require clear margins (quiet zones) on the left and right sides. Scanners rely on this blank space to recognize the beginning and end of the code. Do not clip the margins.
- Print Resolution: Print barcodes using a laser printer or thermal label printer at 300 DPI or higher. Inkjet printers can sometimes bleed, making the bars fuzzy and unscannable.
- Scale & Dimensions: Do not make the width multiplier too thin (less than 1.5px per bar) if printing on standard paper, as it may cause individual bars to blur together.
