Every item in Vinty gets a barcode price tag. You can print tags from your inventory list (one item or a whole batch), or right after you add an item. This article covers how to start a print and which label formats exist. What the print dialog looks like depends on your device — pick yours:
- Printing labels — Safari on Mac
- Printing labels — Chrome on Mac or Windows
- Printing labels — Safari on iPhone or iPad
- Printing labels — Vinty app on iPhone
- Printing labels — Vinty app on Android
- Printing labels — Chrome on Android
Print from your inventory
- Open My Inventory in the sidebar.
- Tick the checkbox on each item you want a tag for. Sold and on-hold items can't be checked — there's nothing to tag.
- Click Print Labels in the toolbar.
- The Print labels window lists what you picked with a copy
count for each. Adjust with − / + or type a number. Two
shortcuts:
- Needs N tags — you've restocked and some units never got a tag. One click sets the copies to exactly that many.
- All N — reprint one tag for every unit on hand. The − button at 1 copy removes the item from this run.
- Pick a Label format if this run should use something other than your default (see Label formats below).
- Click Print N labels.
Print New Tags
New arrivals that have never had a tag printed show a Needs tag badge. The Print New Tags (N) button in the toolbar selects all of them at once — across every page of your inventory — and opens the same window, so you can tag an intake batch in one go.
Print right after adding an item
On the Add item form, Print Label saves the item and opens the print dialog for it immediately. Same on Edit item. Handy when you're tagging things one at a time on the way to your booth.
Label formats
Vinty prints the same tag layout — price on the left, barcode on the right, title below — onto any of these:
Thermal label rolls (no ink, one tag per print)
- Rollo 2×1 — Rollo X1040, 2" × 1" barcode rolls
- Dymo 30334 (2.25" × 1.25") and Dymo 30336 (2.125" × 1") — DYMO LabelWriter
- Brother DK-1209 (2.4" × 1.1") and DK-1221 (0.9" square) — Brother QL series
Sheets for a regular inkjet or laser printer
- Avery 8160 — 30 address labels per Letter sheet
- Cardstock Cut-Out (21/sheet) — 2.25" price tags on plain cardstock, snip apart with scissors
- Cardstock 2" Vertical (35/sheet) and 2.5" Vertical (24/sheet) — taller hangtag layout with a hole-punch guide at the top. Good for jewelry, figurines, and small décor.
Which format is used comes from three places, in order:
- This print run — the Label format dropdown in the Print labels window. Only affects that run.
- Your own default — My Profile → Default label size. Set this if you print on your own printer or your own label stock.
- The store default — set by the store owner to match the rolls in the shared printer.
Three things to check in any print dialog
- Printer — your label printer (Rollo, DYMO, or Brother), or your regular printer for Avery and cardstock formats.
- Paper size — must match the format you chose. Rollo: 2x1. DYMO: 30334 or 30336. Sheet formats: US Letter.
- Scale — 100%. "Fit to page" or "Shrink to fit" makes the bars too thin to scan.
Portrait orientation is correct for every format. The device articles above walk through where each of these lives.
Troubleshooting
Label prints blank. The PDF hadn't finished rendering when the dialog opened. Close the dialog and print again from the PDF tab (⌘P / Ctrl+P on a computer, Share → Print on a phone).
Only part of the label prints, or it's off-center. The paper size in the print dialog doesn't match the format you chose. Open the Paper size dropdown and pick the one that matches what's loaded in the printer.
Title is cut off. Vinty shrinks long titles to fit two lines, but very long names can still overflow. Shorten the name, or use one of the vertical cardstock formats — they have more room.
Barcode won't scan. Scale must be 100%. Any "fit" or "shrink" option thins the bars past what a scanner can read.
Android only offers 4×6 for the Rollo. See Printing labels — Vinty app on Android.
Brother says "media doesn't match." The paper size in the dialog isn't the roll that's loaded. See Label printer setup and the Brother "media doesn't match" error.
