  • Hi there! Today I'm sharing how you can print your own barcodes from your home computer to upgrade your inventory management system. Barcodes are super beneficial for resellers and I hope to see more and more of us utilizing them. There are several barcode generators out there, BUT they usually come with a hefty cost. Watch this video for a low-cost way to print your own barcodes for your own business.

    • @PattyLU2
      @PattyLU2 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You may have discovered the answer by now (9 mths later) but if not, I think there are different codes because she imported her entire list of products so it created an individual code for each item different product she sells. This would be useful to label a box that contained each item. She could create a sheet of labels for each individual item within the box to label each item. In this case the code would be the same.

      There are several templates for the QR code. Also plenty of sites that can help you make a barcode but they typically charge for that service. This is my workaround to get this done for free by printing at home. You can add the QR or 1D barcode using any of the templates that fit an Avery label that you want to use, too.
