Shelf label printing with barcodes, prices and bin codes
Shelf label printing turns your catalogue into scannable labels. Hardware Store POS prints labels with the product name, price, barcode and, if you like, the rack location, on A4 sticker sheets or thermal label rolls, for one item or for every item on a purchase.

!The problem
Why labels matter more in hardware than anywhere
- 1Thousands of small items with no manufacturer barcode: fasteners, fittings, cut goods.
- 2Price changes from suppliers mean hundreds of labels to redo at once.
- 3Customers pick from bins; a clear shelf label is the price sign.
- 4Staff find bins faster when the location is on the label.

Label tips
Test one sheet first
Printer margins vary; print one test sheet before a full run.
Use Code 128 for your own SKUs
It handles letters and numbers and scans well on small labels.
Reprint after price imports
After a price update, print labels for the changed items the same day.
Mind thermal fade
Direct-thermal labels fade in sunlight; use thermal-transfer for yard and outdoor stock.

Q&ASheet set · FAQ
Barcode & shelf labels: questions owners ask
- Which label printers work?
- Any printer your computer can print to: A4 laser or inkjet with sticker sheets, or a thermal label printer with the right roll size. See the hardware guide.
- Can I print labels for items without a manufacturer barcode?
- Yes. Each item gets a barcode from its SKU (or your own code), so loose fasteners and cut goods can be scanned too.
- Which barcode types are supported?
- Code 128, Code 39, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A and UPC-E.
- Can I print labels for a whole delivery?
- Yes. Load a purchase into the label screen and every received line is added with its quantity.
- Can the label show the price with tax?
- Yes. Choose the price with or without tax, depending on your market (UAE labels usually show VAT-inclusive prices).
- Can labels be in Arabic or Urdu?
- Labels print the product name as you entered it, so names entered in Arabic or Urdu print in that script.
- Can I make my own label size?
- Yes. Define a barcode setting with your sheet or roll dimensions and labels per row.
- Can the rack location go on the label?
- Many stores add the bin code into a product field shown on the label; ask on your demo and we will set it up for your layout.
