BarcodeLabelGen

Purpose: BarcodeLabelGen is a self-hosted web app for designing label templates and batch-generating PDFs from CSV, Excel, or SQLite data.
Editor: Its drag-and-drop editor supports text, text blocks, shapes, images, tables, barcodes, alignment, layers, and object locking.
Barcode formats: Supported barcode formats include EAN-13, EAN-14, GTIN, Code 128, GS1-128, and QR codes.
Batch limits: A batch can generate up to 1,000 labels; CSV and Excel uploads are limited to 10 MB, and SQLite uploads to 50 MB.
Printer formats: The app imports and exports ZPL/ZPL II and exports TSPL/TSPL2 for TSC and desktop Toshiba printers.
Direct printing: A local connector sends ZPL to compatible label printers over RAW TCP port 9100 and reports job status to the app.
Connector platforms: Prebuilt connector binaries are listed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, including Raspberry Pi variants.
Deployment: The project uses Docker Compose and recommends exposing the service through Tailscale Serve for production.
Security: SQLite imports use a read-only connection that accepts a single SELECT and blocks INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, ATTACH, and PRAGMA.
Access roles: The app provides administrator, editor, and viewer roles; administrators manage users and temporary password resets.
Template portability: Templates export as self-contained .blg-template.json files that can be imported into another BarcodeLabelGen instance.
Generated-file retention: Generated files remain available for 30 days and are then deleted automatically.
Support: The FAQ directs users to the help guide or to [email protected] for questions.
License: The repository identifies the software as GPL-3.0 licensed.
