design, print, done.
labelpipe is a label and document printing server you run yourself. Design templates in the browser, send data from your ERP, and print to any CUPS or Zebra printer.
Free forever for up to 500 labels or documents a day. Runs in Docker on Linux, macOS or Windows.
$ docker compose -f oci://ghcr.io/plamenbv/labelpipe-compose:latest up -d
three steps from data to paper
draw the template
Place text, prices, barcodes, QR codes and images on the label. Fields like {{price}} fill in at print time.
send the data
Type it in, import an Excel or CSV file, or call the REST API from SAP or any other system.
out it comes
labelpipe picks the right printer, renders PDF or ZPL, and keeps a record of every job.
everything a print room needs
Built for shops, warehouses and offices that print every day, not once a year.
visual designer
Drag-and-drop layouts in millimetres, with a live preview from real sample data.
shelf labels with rules
Promo prices, sale badges and unit prices appear only when the data says so.
document forms
Delivery notes, invoices and packing lists in A4 or A5, with totals worked out for you.
API and file import
A documented REST API with tokens or client credentials, and Excel or CSV import with saved mappings.
printer routing
Rules send each job to the right printer by template or any field.
safe sign-in
Sign in with Google or a password, with two-factor codes and recovery codes.
your data never leaves the building
- Runs on your own server or a PC in the back office.
- Works on a closed network: no cloud account, no calls home.
- One command to install, one to update.
- Fonts, templates and images stay on your disk.
