PyLabel

Generate labels for printing using HTML rendering.

Features

Customizable for most label sheet layouts.
Partial sheet printing
Custom data for each label
Uses HTML templates easy label design.

Usage

The simplest use case is some static labels using a template:

python -m pylabel -t examples/simple.html -p avery.L7157 -c 10 > output.html

Then, when you need some more just pop the same sheet back in the printer and offset the start

python -m pylabel -t examples/simple.html -p avery.L7157 -c 10 -o 10 > output.html

To do some mail merge operations create a list of names:

Andy Andrews
Bob Brown
Charlie Chaplin

and use a {data[text]} element in your template. Note we've shifted to an external stylesheet now as well.

python -m pylabel -t examples/name_tags.html -p avery.L7157 -d examples/names.txt -s examples/hello.css > output.html
