Add Product Name & MRP to Barcode Labels Automatically

Text Above the Barcode

Type the product name in Text above. Long names shrink to fit the label width automatically.

MRP Below the Barcode

Type just the price, such as 499, and it prints as MRP ₹499. You can also type any other text, like a size or colour.

Doing It in Bulk

In an Excel or CSV file, add columns for the product name and MRP next to the barcode. Every row gets its own name and price.

Why Product Stickers Need More Than a Barcode

A barcode is designed for scanners, but people need readable information too. Shop staff look at the product name to find items quickly, and customers check the MRP before they buy. In India, the MRP must be shown on packaged products sold to consumers, so adding it to the barcode sticker is a convenient way to meet this requirement when it is not already printed on the packaging. Combining the name, barcode and price on one sticker also saves time, because you only need to apply a single label. If you need a price tag with the offer price and discount rather than a barcode sticker, use the Price Tag Maker.

Writing Good Product Names for Labels

Labels have limited space, so keep product names short and clear. Include the key details that help someone identify the item, such as the product type, size or colour, and leave out long marketing phrases. For example, a name like Cotton Kurti Blue M is more useful on a label than a full listing title. Short names also stay larger and easier to read, because long names are shrunk to fit the label width.

Formatting the MRP

• Just the Number :

  Type 499 and it prints as MRP with the rupee symbol.

• Round Figures :

  Use whole rupee amounts for a clean look.

• Check Accuracy :

  Make sure the MRP matches your price list and any printed packaging.

• Other Text :

  You can also use this line for a size, colour or batch detail when no MRP is needed.

Preparing a Bulk List

For a whole product range, prepare a spreadsheet with a row for each product, including the barcode, product name, MRP and the number of labels you need. Check the list for typing mistakes before uploading, because every label will be printed exactly as written. Print one sheet first and read a few labels to confirm the names and prices are correct, then print the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I print only the name without an MRP? Yes. Leave the MRP empty and only the name and barcode are printed.

What label size works best? Labels of about 50 x 25 mm or larger leave comfortable space for a name, barcode and MRP.

Can I use a different font size for the name? The name is sized automatically to fit the label width, so shorter names print larger. If a name looks too small, shorten it or choose a wider label size that leaves more room for the text.

Updating Prices Later

Prices change over time, and when they do, your labels need to change too. Keep your product list in one spreadsheet with a column for the current MRP. When a price changes, update the spreadsheet and print new labels only for the affected products, using the quantity column to print just the number you need. Remove or cover old labels on existing stock so customers never see two different prices on the same product. Keeping one up-to-date list makes price changes quick and avoids confusion at the billing counter.
