Brightshelf Labels

Any printer that can print a PDF at 100% / Actual size. There are presets for DYMO 30252 and 30336, Brother QL 62 mm, Zebra 2×1 and 4×6, Rollo 4×6, and Avery 5160 / L7160 sheets. See supported label stock. On Business, Zebra users can also download raw ZPL.

No. Free has no monthly or per-batch cap, and real barcodes and QR codes are included.

No. Code 128 and QR codes encode the SKU. EAN-13 and UPC-A use the variant’s Barcode field. You choose the barcode type when you print.

Yes. Mixed Hebrew and English text and ₪ prices print in the right order. The app itself follows your Shopify admin language: English and Hebrew are supported, other languages show English.

No. Locked templates keep their version, and you choose when to try a new one.

Yes, on Pro. Upload or paste the purchase-order or packing-list lines (SKU or barcode, then quantity) and Print labels opens with those counts filled in. See the CSV format.

Yes, on Pro. Use your GS1 company prefix for EAN-13 or UPC-A, or internal Code 128 for in-store use. You see every new barcode first, nothing is saved to your products until you tick the confirmation box, and barcodes that already exist are never changed. Only use a GS1 prefix you own.

On Business, pick the location whose on-hand counts are used and set a default printer for each location.

Open Plans in the app and choose another plan, or Switch to Free. You don’t need to contact us. If you downgrade, templates you’ve saved are kept and you can still print with them. On Free you can’t create new templates while you have one or more saved.

Your templates, printer settings, print presets and setup progress. It doesn’t ask for access to customer data. Details are in the privacy policy.

• Print at 100% / Actual size, and turn off “Fit to page” or “Shrink”.
• Check the printer driver’s paper size matches the preset (see the stock table).
• Still off by a millimetre or two? Calibrate the printer.

1. Open Printers and choose Print test grid on the printer profile.
2. Print the grid at 100% / Actual size.
3. Measure how far the centre cross is from the real centre of the label, in mm. Offset X: positive moves right. Offset Y: positive moves down.
4. Enter both values, save, and print the grid again to check.

Calibration can’t fix scaling: if labels come out smaller, turn off “Fit to page”. On thermal printers, run the printer’s own media calibration first (on most Zebras, hold the feed button).

EAN-13 and UPC-A use the variant’s Barcode field, and Code 128 uses the SKU. Variants missing these print without a barcode, and the app warns you before you download. Fill gaps with the barcode generator (Pro) or switch to Code 128.

• Print at 100%. Scaling down makes the bars too thin to read.
• On thermal printers, increase darkness or slow the print speed.
• Keep the blank space either side of the barcode clear, and don’t shrink the barcode smaller than the editor allows.

In Templates, select the text and set When too long to Shrink to fit, Wrap lines or Cut off with ….

• Allow downloads from admin.shopify.com in your browser.
• Check the browser isn’t blocking pop-ups for the Shopify admin.
• Big batches can take a few seconds while the preview shows Rendering….

Select it in Shopify admin instead: Products → tick the products → Print labels from the actions menu. Print labels opens with just those products.

ZPL is on the Business plan and only for the Zebra presets. To send a .zpl file on macOS or Linux: lp -d <queue> -o raw labels.zpl. On Windows, use Zebra Setup Utilities' “Send file”. Template images go into ZPL only if they have a 1-bit (black and white) version.

Paste lines or upload a .csv or .txt file, one item per line:

sku,quantity
TEE-NAV-M,12
CND-LAV-16,6

• First column: SKU (not case-sensitive) or barcode. Last column: quantity received (a whole number). Columns in between are ignored.
• Commas, semicolons and tabs all work. The header row is optional.
• The same SKU on several lines is added up.

Drag to move an element; it snaps to edges and centres (hold Alt to stop snapping). Arrow keys nudge by 0.5 mm, or 2 mm with Shift. Delete removes, Ctrl/⌘+D duplicates. The top of the layer list prints on top.
