Free SKU label generator for parts and warehouse locations.
Create printable SKU labels and warehouse location labels with QR, Code 128, Code 39, or UPC-A. Choose a size and download a print-ready PDF — free, no signup, and nothing uploaded. The tool uses the same SKU-and-location labeling approach as Ordovee, in a standalone browser tool.
Build your label
Want to print on demand from your inventory?
The full Ordovee system generates labels as parts hit the shelf — printed from your browser, no special hardware.
No account. No email. Nothing uploaded. The barcode is drawn in your browser and the PDF is built on your device — your SKUs and location codes never leave it.
How to make a SKU label
- Choose SKU label or Location label in the tool above.
- Type the SKU or location code, then pick a size and barcode type (QR is the default).
- Download the print-ready PDF and print it at 100% scale — on a thermal label printer or any printer that prints a PDF.
There is no label software to install. The PDF is built in your browser, and you can download it from a laptop, phone, or warehouse handheld and print it at 100% scale.
How to name and label warehouse locations
Keep location codes short and consistent. A code such as
B-04-03-2 can represent
whatever hierarchy makes sense in your operation. Use letters and numbers with hyphens or
underscores, avoid spaces, and apply the same pattern throughout the warehouse. If you want numeric
sections to sort naturally, pad them consistently (01, 02, 03). Print a location label for each
storage position, place labels consistently, and test a few scans before labeling the whole area.
Which label size do you need?
A 2" × 1" label is the default for SKU and location labels — large enough for a scannable code and a short SKU. The tool's four sizes map to the jobs a parts shop actually has:
Who this tool is for
Parts sellers printing SKU labels, teardown and salvage shops labeling what comes off each unit, warehouses labeling their locations, and small e-commerce operations that just need a clean, scannable label without a subscription. If you're choosing hardware to go with it, the scanner & printer buying guide covers what works, and the Zebra DataWedge setup guide makes every scan auto-submit.
Frequently asked questions
Is the label generator really free, with no signup?
Yes — no account, no email, and nothing is uploaded to a server; the barcode is drawn in your browser. Every label carries a small Ordovee.com line, and that is the only trade for keeping it free.
What is a SKU label?
A SKU label goes on the part itself — it carries the part's SKU as text and as a scannable code, so one scan pulls up that exact part. A location label is different: it marks a physical location. The SKU label moves with the part; the location label stays with the storage position.
What barcode type should I use for inventory labels?
For most SKU and location labels use a QR code — it packs a whole SKU into a small square that does not have to be lined up in one fixed rotation. Use Code 128 when a device or partner needs a 1D barcode; it packs long SKUs into a small, self-checking symbol. UPC-A is only for retail products that already carry a 12-digit UPC.
What size label do I need?
A 2" x 1" label is the default for SKU and location labels — big enough for a scannable code and a short SKU. Use 3" x 1" for wider location labels and longer codes, 4" x 2" for larger locations and labels read at a distance, and 1" x 0.5" for small parts and tight spaces.
How do I print barcode labels without special software?
The tool generates a print-ready PDF entirely in your browser — no label software to install. Print it at 100% scale (not "Fit") on a thermal label printer or any office printer that can print a PDF.
How do I make a warehouse location label?
Switch the tool to Location label, enter your location code (for example A-01-03-B), pick a size, and download the PDF. Use letters and numbers with hyphens or underscores, avoid spaces, and pad numeric sections consistently (01, 02) so codes sort naturally.
Need labels in batches, straight from your inventory? Ordovee prints up to 500 at once from the parts and locations you already track — see the product overview, and the label generator stays free either way.
