How to Print Pricing Labels from an Excel Worksheet

Hey there! It's Aaron with time-saving templates, and today I'm going to show you how to print pricing labels from an Excel worksheet. This is a question I've received multiple times recently, so I'm excited to provide you with a solution. Whether you're selling items in a boutique or at a craft fair, this tutorial will guide you through the process step by step.

1. Introduction

Let's start by understanding the template we'll be working with. The consignment tracking for stores template is a comprehensive tool that includes various pages for managing inventory, product codes, consignors, payouts, and more. However, for our specific purpose of printing price tags, we'll be focusing on one particular page.

2. Setting up the Excel Worksheet

Before we begin, make sure you have entered all the necessary information in the inventory details section of the Excel worksheet. It's important to save your progress by clicking on the "Save" button.

3. Saving the Excel Template

To proceed with printing the price labels, save both the Excel template and the accompanying Word document to your computer. Remember the location where you saved them for easy access.

4. Opening the Word Document

The Word document is where you'll actually print the labels from. Open the document, and when prompted with a message stating, "Select from inventory details, and the data from your database will be placed in this document. Do you want to continue?" click "Yes." This ensures that the information from your Excel worksheet is linked to the Word document.

5. Checking the Printing Labels

Before getting started, it's crucial to double-check that you have the right printing labels. Navigate to the "Mailings" tab and select "Start Mail Merge Labels." Ensure that the label brand and size correspond with your actual printing labels. If you need to make any changes, you may receive a message warning you about potential unsaved changes. Cancel the operation for now, but I'll explain how to switch labels later on.

6. Making Changes to the Labels

If you want to customize the appearance of your labels or add additional information, you can do so within the Word document. For example, you can insert spaces, merge fields, or even include your store logo. Let me walk you through some of these modifications.

To add space between elements, first, add the desired space to the top label. Then, go to the "Mailings" tab, select "Update Labels," and the same space will be added to the rest of the labels.

7. Adding Images or Logos

If you want to include an image or logo, you can easily insert it into the Word document. Right-click on the image and select "Wrap Text" followed by "Square." This will make it easier to position the image within the label. Once you have the image in the desired location on the first label, click "Update Labels," and the image will be added to all the labels.

8. Previewing the Results

To ensure everything looks good and aligns with your printing labels, go to the "Mailings" tab and select "Preview Results." This will display the information you entered in the Excel worksheet. Take this opportunity to review the appearance and layout of the price tags.

9. Printing the Labels

Once you're satisfied with the preview, it's time to print the labels. Before proceeding, make sure you have the correct printing labels loaded into your printer. If you need to make any changes to the label brand or size, refer back to step 5.

After ensuring the right printing labels are in place, print a test page on regular paper to verify that everything is aligned correctly. Once you're confident in the results, print the labels on your designated printing labels.

10. Saving the Template and Printing File

To safeguard your progress and future use, it's advisable to save the modified Word document as a separate file. This will prevent accidentally overwriting the template and allow you to access it whenever new inventory needs to be added. Save the file with a unique name, possibly including the date.
