Print a barcode

Generate a real, scannable Code-128 label for any product and print it onto a sticker — ready to scan at your point of sale.

🖥 Web 📱 Mobile

A barcode turns a product into something you can scan — at the register, during a stock count, or when picking an order. Crate gives every product a real, scannable Code-128 barcode automatically, so printing a label is a two-click job.

The label

The barcode page shows a clean, print-ready label: the product name, the option (for a specific variant), the scannable barcode itself, and the price. It is built to land neatly on a standard adhesive sticker.

Using your own codes

If your products already carry manufacturer or supplier barcodes, type that value into Barcode value and save it — Crate will print and scan against your code instead of the auto-generated one. Leave the field untouched and tap Save / Re-generate to mint a fresh value at any time.

Tip: Printing labels for lots of products at once? Use Print bulk barcodes instead of doing them one by one.
  1. 1
    Open the product

    From Products, open the product you want a label for. Crate auto-mints a barcode for every product, so there is nothing to set up first.
