How do I create and print labels for my items?

Written by Shane Jordan

To create labels, go to Tools > Labels, select the items you want to label, choose what to include, and print or save as PDF.

Step-by-Step

labels and printing

  1. Go to Tools > Labels

  2. Select items by tapping them anywhere on the row (or tap Select All) -- selected items stay pinned in a Selected for Print section at the top

  3. Choose what to include on the label:

  • Item title

  • Price

  • QR code

  • SKU / Stock number

  • Barcode

  • Category

  1. Preview your labels

  2. Tap Print or Save as PDF

Searching for Items

The search bar on the Labels screen works exactly like the main inventory search -- it isn't limited to stock number or title. You can search by anything you'd search on the Inventory screen, including the item's description, and combine it with the filters (e.g., Unprinted) to quickly find items that still need tags. Handy when a tag is lost or damaged and you need a quick reprint. Each row shows the item's title and description, so similar items are easy to tell apart.

Build a batch across multiple searches. Your selections stay pinned in the Selected for Print section while you keep searching -- find an item, tap it, then search for the next one, and the batch keeps growing until you're ready to print. Switching filters (for example between Printed and Unprinted) keeps your selections too, so you can mix reprints of lost tags with brand-new labels in one print run. Select All adds the current results to your selection without replacing what you've already picked.

Label Formats

Flippd supports multiple label sizes:

  • Standard shipping labels (4x6) -- For shipping packages

  • Small product labels (2x1) -- For tagging items

  • Price tags -- For pop-up sales or retail display

  • Jewelry tags -- Small tags for jewelry and accessories

  • Custom sizes -- Set your own dimensions

Batch Printing

Print labels for many items at once:

  1. Use filters to find items (e.g., all Unlisted items)

  2. Tap Select All or choose specific items

  3. Generate and print up to 100 labels at a time

Tracking Print Status

Items show Printed or Unprinted status so you can:

  • Filter to see only unprinted items

  • Avoid printing duplicate labels

Printer Tips

  • Thermal printers are best for high-volume label printing

  • Regular inkjet/laser printers work well for occasional use

  • Test alignment with one label before printing a full batch

  • Use the calibration tool if labels aren't aligning properly

Adding Your Business Logo

You can print your own business logo on labels:

  1. Upload your logo in Settings > Business Profile (PNG or JPEG, under 5 MB)

  2. In the label editor (Tools > Labels), add a Logo element to your template and position it

  3. Save the template -- your logo now prints on labels that use it

The logo is opt-in, so it only appears on labels where you've added the Logo element.

Good to Know

  • Label templates are synced to your account and available on all devices

  • You can customize label templates in Settings > Labels

  • Your business logo prints on labels only after you add a Logo element to the template (see above)
