How to Print Labels from Google Sheets (No Add-On)

Your data already lives in a Google Sheet: names, addresses, SKUs, barcode values in tidy columns. You don't need a clunky add-on or a Word mail merge to turn those rows into labels. Export the sheet as .csv or .xlsx, map the columns once, and PaperReady prints every row as its own label at true size, on a thermal roll or an Avery sheet.

  1. In Google Sheets, tidy the data: one row per label, a plain header row (name, address, sku, barcode), and no blank rows.
  2. Download it as .csv or .xlsx (File, then Download).
  3. Import the file into PaperReady's Batch mode and map each column to a field on the label; point a SKU or UPC column at the barcode field for scannable codes.
  4. Install the free Print Bridge and print at true size: each row becomes one label on a roll, or tiled across an Avery sheet.

Google Sheets or Excel, the same flow

PaperReady reads .csv and .xlsx the same way, so a Google Sheet and an Excel file take the identical path. If you work in Excel, the print-from-Excel guide covers the mapping step in more detail.

Addresses, barcodes, product labels

Map an address block for mailing labels, a SKU column to a barcode for product or inventory labels, or any columns you like. Every row prints at true size with no scaling, onto a roll or an Avery sheet.

PaperReady prints straight to your label printer at true size, with no PDF-export-then-reprint step, unlimited labels, and no per-label fees, on Zebra, DYMO, Rollo, Brother and MUNBYN across Windows, Mac and Linux.

Frequently asked

Do I need a Google Sheets add-on to print labels?
No. Download the sheet as .csv or .xlsx and import it into PaperReady. You map the columns once and print, with no add-on to install and no mail merge.
Can I turn a Google Sheets column into a barcode?
Yes. Point the barcode field at your SKU, UPC or tracking column and each row prints a scannable Code 128, UPC or QR.
Will the labels print at the right size?
Yes. PaperReady prints at the label's real dimensions instead of scaling to a letter page, whether you use a thermal roll or an Avery sheet.
Is it free?
Designing and printing are free and unlimited on one computer. Spreadsheet import is part of Pro.
