The barcode studio in the -OS suite

Design any label. Print it to spec. For a fraction of BarTender.

LabelOS turns any spec into a scannable label — FNSKU, UPC-A, GS1-128, SSCC, custom SKU — and prints native ZPL straight to your Zebras. Free inside ShippingOS. Standalone for prep centers and 3PLs, with no per-printer licensing.

Why this exists

Labeling software still charges you by the printer.

The incumbents are desktop apps licensed per printer, per seat, per edition — a setup built for a 2005 warehouse. If you run a prep center with ten Zebras, you pay for ten. LabelOS is a browser tab that prints to every printer you own, on a flat plan, and it's already free inside the dashboard you ship from.

Connect as many Zebras as you run.

Presets are just doors into one designer.

One-click presets

Pricing

Free where you already work. Flat where you scale.

Self-ship sellers get LabelOS as a tab inside ShippingOS at no cost. Prep centers and 3PLs get the full designer and multi-client workspaces on a flat plan — never priced by the printer.
