Need to save every penny? Need 5000 or fewer stickers or print as you go? Save lots of money and do them yourself. Here's how.

We understand that most of you have invested heavily in your product and every penny counts at this point. If you are wanting to save as much money as possible and have the time and computer knowledge, you can print several thousand yourself.

We recommend using Barcode Label stock rather than Avery address labels. We found it here for the lowest price of only $10.45/box for 5000 stickers: http://www.data-labels.com/barcodelabel.html . We have no agreement with that company nor do we benefit from you buying label stock from them, we just found them to be the cheapest and have purchased from them ourselves.

Here is the template for the Compulabel 1.5" x 1" Barcode Label Stock listed above. We have put barcode placeholders in it to show you your options. If you do not know Microsoft Word or how to use templates, we can make them for you for a nominal fee and you can still print your stickers yourself. Call or email us to inquire.

How to Use the Template

We have placed several barcodes to show you how it works and what your options are if you want to put description text above or below each barcode. Once you’ve placed a barcode in the template you can copy and paste to each cell. We also find that it’s easiest to keep track of if you make a whole page of all the same barcode/number rather than trying to put a different number across every row. That way you can print a full page of 50 stickers for one barcode and apply them to your products as needed.

With Microsoft Word you select Insert>Insert Picture>From File and select the file you want to insert from your order folder>UPC>JPG and make sure you select the box to “Link to File” so your output is high resolution. Do not copy and paste barcodes from one program to another—that will give you only a screen-resolution barcode and will likely not print sufficiently for scanning. The JPG is high resolution and must be kept that way so it is imperative that you Link to File and don't just insert.

It’s always a good idea to do a test scan of a printout by taking a sample sheet to a nearby store and asking the clerk to scan it and see if it reads. If it is a good scan, it will say “item not found” or return the number of the barcode. If it is not a good scan it will beep at them and not produce any messages.

If, at any time, you have questions about printing, applying your barcodes to your labels, etc., we are here to help. Our staff has 40+ years experience in design, printing, publishing, advertising, marketing and branding.
