Print QR Code Labels for Your Inventory with Avery 5160

Why Label Your Inventory?

Labels with QR codes let you scan any item with your phone and instantly pull up its full listing — photos, description, values, and history. For auction houses and estate sales, labels with lot numbers keep items organized from intake through sale day.

What's on Each Label

Estimint labels can include (all configurable):

• QR Code — Links directly to the item's detail page
• Inventory Number — Your auto-incrementing tracking number (e.g., INV-10042)
• Title — Item name, truncated to fit
• Barcode — Code128 format encoding the inventory number
• Lot Number — For items in catalogs
• Catalog Name — Which auction or catalog this item belongs to
• Consignor Code — Whose item it is

Toggle any of these on or off to create the label layout you need.

Label Format

Estimint prints on Avery 5160 sheets — the most common label format in the United States. These are 1" x 2-5/8" labels, 30 per sheet, and work with any standard laser or inkjet printer.

You can buy Avery 5160 labels at any office supply store or online. Generic equivalents work too — any label that matches the 5160 layout is compatible.

How to Print

From a Single Item

1. Open the item detail page
2. Click the Print Label button (or find it in the actions dropdown on mobile)
3. Configure which fields to show
4. Choose a starting position (if you've already used some labels on the sheet)
5. Click Print

From a Catalog

1. Open the catalog detail page
2. Click Print Labels from the actions dropdown
3. All non-withdrawn lots are included
4. Configure fields and starting position
5. Click Print

Starting Position

If you've already used some labels on a sheet, you don't need to waste it. The starting position selector lets you pick which label position to start from (1 through 30), shown in a visual mini-grid. Estimint leaves earlier positions blank so labels align correctly with what's left on your sheet.

Printer Settings

When the print dialog opens:

• Paper size: Letter (8.5" x 11")
• Margins: Set to "None" or "Minimum" for best alignment
• Scaling: Set to "Actual size" or 100% — do not use "Fit to page"
• Color: Labels print in black and white for best barcode scanning

Tips

• Test first — Print a test sheet on regular paper and hold it up against your label sheet to check alignment before using real labels.
• QR codes scan from across the room — Even small QR codes on Avery labels are readable from several feet away with a modern phone camera.
• Inventory numbers vs. lot numbers — Inventory numbers are permanent and follow the item everywhere. Lot numbers are specific to a catalog and may change between auctions.
