You can print barcodes in Ply either from your computer (web app) or directly from your phone (mobile app). The best option depends on what kind of printer you’re using.
Option 1: Print barcodes from your computer (Web)
If you want to print from your computer, you can use any standard desktop printer that prints on A4 or Letter paper.
✅ No specific brand or model is required.
What you’ll need
- Regular paper (works fine), or
- Adhesive label sheets (recommended if you want barcode stickers)
⭐ Recommended label paper: Avery label sheets (Letter format) (But any label sheet paper will work.)
Steps (Web)
- Go to Stock
- Go to your Warehouse or Truck (whatever the materials you wan to print barcodes are located)
- Select the materials you want to print barcodes for
- Hit on “Print & Export.”
- Edit the fields you want to include in the labels
- Put your email to get the printable sheet in your inbox
- Click on Print Labels.
Option 2: Print barcodes from your phone (Mobile)
If you want to print barcode labels directly from your phone, you’ll need a mobile label printer.
Recommended mobile printers
- Brother PTP950NW (supports 24mm & 36mm labels)
- Brother PTP910BT P-touch CUBE XP (supports 24mm & 36mm labels)
Both options support 24mm and 36mm labels.
⭐ We recommend 36mm labels whenever possible, they’re slightly larger and the barcode is easier to scan.
Note: Both printers can also be purchased through our ecommerce site.
Important note about mobile printers
Mobile printers only work through the Ply mobile app (from your phone).
❌ They cannot be connected to a computer.
Steps (Mobile)
- Open the Ply mobile app
- Go to Stock
- Select the materials you want to print barcodes for
- Tap Print Barcodes
Quick tip: Desktop vs Mobile printing
- Printing from a computer → Use a desktop printer + A4/Letter paper
- Printing from a phone → Use a mobile label printer + 24mm/36mm label rolls
