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.

three steps from data to paper

01 · design

draw the template

Place text, prices, barcodes, QR codes and images on the label. Fields like {{price}} fill in at print time.

02 · connect

send the data

Type it in, import an Excel or CSV file, or call the REST API from SAP or any other system.

03 · print

out it comes

labelpipe picks the right printer, renders PDF or ZPL, and keeps a record of every job.
