Print Labels from Excel

Import your file, build your label from the columns you choose and print one label per row, on any label sheet.

1. Your Excel file

Each row of the file will produce one (or more) labels. The first row should contain the column names (Name, Address, City…). The file is read in your browser: it is never uploaded to a server.

How to print labels from an Excel spreadsheet

A label mail merge, without Word

This tool replaces Word's mail merge for labels: it reads your Excel spreadsheet (or LibreOffice, or CSV) directly and produces one label per row. Use it for address labels for a mailing, product and price labels, jar labels, file folders and binders, moving boxes or name badges.

How it works, in 4 steps

  1. Excel file: choose your file. If the workbook has several worksheets, pick the right one. The first rows are shown so you can check them.
  2. Label sheet: type your label sheet code (5160, L7160, J8163…). The paper size, label dimensions and number of labels fill in automatically. For an unknown code, enter the width and height of one label, the number of labels across and the number of labels down.
  3. Content: add lines of text and choose, from the drop-down menu, the Excel column to show. Set the font size, bold, and position (left, centered, right, or two fields on the same line). The “Next label” button lets you design a second, different label printed for each row (for example an address label and a return address label). Click “Last label” when you are done.
  4. Print: check the preview sheet by sheet, then click “Print labels”. You can choose a range of rows, or the first free label on a partly used sheet.

Frequently asked questions

Is my file sent over the Internet?

No. The file is read and laid out directly in your browser. No data (addresses, names, prices…) ever leaves your computer.

Which file formats are supported?

Excel workbooks (.xlsx, .xls, .xlsm), LibreOffice / OpenOffice (.ods) and CSV files separated by commas or semicolons.

The print is not aligned with the labels. What should I do?

First check that the scale is set to 100% and the margins to “None” in the print dialog. If a small offset remains, untick “Center the labels on the sheet automatically” in step 2 and adjust the top or left margin by a few tenths of a millimeter.

One line of my address is sometimes empty. Is that a problem?

No: the “Hide empty lines” option (on by default) removes the space of a line whose cell is empty, so the address stays compact.

Can I add fixed text, such as “From:”?

Yes. In a field's drop-down menu, choose “Free text” to write the same text on every label, or fill in the “Text before” box to put something in front of a column's value (for example “Ref.” before a product code).

I print the same labels every month with a new file. Do I have to start over?

No. In step 4, give your layout a name and click “Save”: the label sheet and label content are kept. Next time, choose this configuration in step 1 before opening the new file, then click “Go straight to printing”. Only the data changes; the file just needs the same column names (their order can change). If you have only one configuration for these columns, “Automatic” mode recognizes it on its own.

How long is my configuration kept?

Configurations are saved in your browser and stay available from one day to the next, even after you close it. They are lost in private browsing or if you clear the site's data; Safari (Mac, iPhone, iPad) may also delete them after 7 days without a visit.

To be sure to find it months from now, bookmark the page right after saving the configuration (Ctrl+D): the bookmark contains the configuration, and opening it restores it, in any browser. You can also send this link to a colleague. The settings are written into the link itself, after the # sign, a part of the address that is never sent to our server. Another option: “Download” creates a small .json file, which you open again with “Import a configuration file” in step 1.
