Shopify Label Printer Compatibility

LabelCraft - barcode labels for Shopify that print at exactly the size you set.

The guarantees behind every label
Exact to ±0.1 mm

Every label prints at the size you set - measured, not approximate.

Never a silent failure

Overflow or a missing barcode always raises a visible warning before you print.

Whole dots in native ZPL

Native ZPL puts every bar on whole printer dots. Bars under 2 dots wide, or PDF EAN/UPC bars thinner than the GS1 minimum, raise a warning.

Blanks filled, fixes on request

We only write to your barcodes that were empty when we read them, unless you ask us to fix them.

LabelCraft prints to any label printer, because it outputs a standard PDF (and native ZPL for Zebra). What changes from one printer to the next is the native print resolution - the dot grid the printer actually lays ink on, measured in dots per inch (DPI). Designing a barcode at your printer's native DPI lets the size checks count the printer's own dots, and gives a QR code whole-dot modules on that printer. This page lists the printers LabelCraft documents and the native DPI of each.

203 vs 300 dpi - what it means for your barcodes

Most desktop thermal printers run at 203 dpi, the Dymo LabelWriter SE450 among them; Brother QL models and every other Dymo LabelWriter run at 300 dpi. Neither number is simply "better" - what matters is that your template DPI matches the printer. Send a 300 dpi template to a 203 dpi printer and the size checks count 300-dpi dots: a narrow bar they pass at 2 dots prints about 1.4 of the printer's, and a QR code's whole-dot modules usually fall between its dots. The pre-flight check warns when that puts a bar or a module off the printer's dots, and the template list flags a roll template whose DPI differs from your printer's. See why a barcode won't scan and printing at actual size.

Don't see your printer?

Your printer doesn't need to be on this list. LabelCraft prints a standard PDF that any label printer's driver can handle, plus native ZPL for Zebra. The list above is only used to infer your native DPI for the scan-reliability checks. If you connect a printer through PrintNode, LabelCraft reads the model automatically; otherwise you can pick your printer brand and model in Settings so the same DPI checks apply.
