How to label inventory with QR codes

  1. Pick a prefix per area, e.g. BIN for shelves or VAN1 for a truck.
  2. Generate one label per bin or product and print on matte label stock.
  3. Stick labels where a phone can reach them — the front lip of a shelf, not the back.
  4. Record what lives at each code so a scan always points to the right item.

QR codes vs. barcodes for stock

QR codes scan from any angle and work well with phone cameras, which makes them ideal for vans, cages and dim stockrooms.

Traditional barcodes (Code 128) are better when you already use a laser scanner at a till. Need those instead? Use the free barcode generator.

Labels are step one. Scanning is where time is saved.

Add these codes to StockSimple and your team scans them with a phone camera to log stock in, stock out and counts — no handheld scanner needed. From $6.99/month, 14-day free trial.

Frequently asked questions

Is this QR code inventory generator free?

Yes. It runs in your browser, needs no account, and nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere.

What should a QR code on an inventory label contain?

Keep it to a short, unique code such as a SKU or bin number (for example BIN-0001). Short codes scan faster from a distance and still work if the label is small or slightly scratched.

Will these QR codes expire?

No. They are static QR codes that simply contain your text, so they keep working forever with any QR or barcode scanner app.

What paper should I print on?

Plain paper works for testing. For shelves, bins and vans, use matte self-adhesive label sheets or laminate the labels so they survive handling and moisture.

Can I scan these labels to update stock?

Yes. Add the same codes as SKUs in StockSimple and scan them with your phone camera to record stock in and out instantly. Barcode and QR scanning is included on every paid plan.
