Barcode generator format

[Anji29]

I've generated barcodes through Square but can't find how to change the formatting. I am trying to:

1. Increase the size of the printed barcode which is currently tiny on the label

2. Add the company name 

Does anyone know if this is possible or how to please?

Hi @Anji29, welcome to the Seller Community! 

Are you currently generating a barcode label with the Square for Retail app? If so, at the moment, you can only create and print labels for the following sizes:

Dymo Barcode Printers: LabelWriter 450, LabelWriter 450 Turbo, LabelWriter 4XL

• Dymo Label: 19 mm x 64 mm

Zebra Barcode Printer: ZD410

• Zebra Label: 38mm x 25mm

Avery Labels for Standard Printers

• Avery Label: 17mm x 44mm

Our team are working to support more label sizes in the UK and we're collecting feedback on this. While I don't have a timeline on when this will be available but I would encourage you to check out our Beta Community to join and potentially get access to new features first when we test them out.

With the barcode labels, it isn't possible to add the company name to the label. When you create a label, depending on the sizes you've chosen, you can only include the following information:

I hope this will help but let me know if you have any other question!

Hi I am struggling to find the Avery labels in the UK in the size specified in the drop down on the barcode page. I did purchase the dymo printer but the labels are too big for my products.

We open on Sunday and I am desperate to find a solution if you can please help.

Really sorry about this @Anji29! Unfortunately at the moment, we only support the three label sizes above and there's currently no workaround for this that we have. 

Apology for all the inconvenience caused by this. As mentioned, our team are working to support more label sizes in the UK and we're collecting feedback on this. While I don't have a timeline on when this will be available but I would encourage you to check out our Beta Community to join and potentially get access to new features first when we test them out.

Anji29 I share your frustration. I've just signed to Square retail plus (after using the free version for 2 years) in the UK in order to print barcode labels plus other features but find that the only label compatible is Avery 15695 which is unavailable to purchase in the UK. I've searched everywhere and it can only be imported from USA. This is absolutely pathetic and not fit for UK market. I see this post related to the label format is from Anji29 is from July 2021 so it's taken Square three years to do absolutely nothing to address the needs of UK customers.

I have a perfectly good A4 laser printer sitting next to my terminal and support are telling me I MUST buy a £400 Zebra or Dymo printer which anyway has labels too big for my products. Not to be able to change label layout as a customer is completely unacceptable.
