It prints beautifully, the image quality is great. I love the anchor points, they are nearly reason enough to buy the app!

Abel S.

I always saw people struggling and hating printing labels. I experienced the opposite with Label LIVE.

Christian M.

Easy to use, clean UI, works really well & includes all the features I need, especially fetching label & barcode data from spreadsheet.

Lash M.

Ease of installation and configuration, flexibility, multi-printer support, ability to print from a spreadsheet, and exceptional customer support.

Nick H.

Ease of installation, and connection to [Zebra] printer was a breeze. Ability to pull data straight from spreadsheet tables provides users a truly powerful and time-saving tool.

Tom F.

The software is incredibly user friendly and easy to navigate through. This is a great investment for anyone who makes labels on a daily basis—especially if you haven't found a program that is right for you yet.

Dana S.

Label LIVE is very easy to use and gives you options to adjust multiple facets of each label. Also a big bonus of being able to save sheets of labels—printing 120 at a time is typical in our office.

Kathryn B.

I really like the simplicity and that you easily can import XLS files and work with several products at once but only with one label template that you create really easily with this software.

Petter N

Petter N.

Label LIVE's sleek user interface and well thought out features makes creating beautiful custom labels very easy and straightforward. By far the best reason for our purchase was the feature that allows you to upload a spreadsheet and customize variables on the label - so instead of hundreds of label files for our products, we only need one label file and one spreadsheet to indicate the product name, number and barcode. Now all our labels look great and we have a new consistency across our labels.

Alex S.

This software is super simple to use and code to create perfect and awesome looking labels for all our products. Any time I ran into a question as hard or as simple as they come, representative was so great at responding with a solution immediately. Thanks for an excellent solution to our labeling issue.

Mackenzie Y.

Super simple clean and obvious functional design with no unnecessary clunky features like many other label solutions have. Integrates really well with excel sheets for printing vast arrays of data, including data variables for how many print quantities.

Blake M.

The efficiencies it created in my daily routine along with the control it gave me in assigning and logging record #'s over my employees. As owner/President I hold 100% liability if something is off with the assigned numbers. Before I couldn't do this, now I am able.

James L.

Very easy to use even with their short video demonstration and it does exactly what I have been wanting to do with labels.

Tyler G.

Everything is working superbly and is going to make my life easier.  I am both a quality and efficiency freak and believe those two things go hand in hand.

Thank you a million for being so responsive to my requests. You've created a great product.

John M.

Have I told you lately how much I love you, man? People who are great at what they do and make things happen love people who are great at what they do and make things happen!

Thanks for the fantastic program - it is something my Dad would have loved back in our working together days. I can’t wait to show it to him next time I have the computer at their house.

Tracey C.

I had a very hard time finding a solution for printing and customizing UPC and carton labels on my Mac. Label LIVE checks all the boxes.

Irving S.

The ease of use is amazing. Having the anchor feature ensures no mishaps. If you have to amend anything on the spreadsheet you are using the system updates too so no need to export and re-import. I can't rate the software or the support received, both are fantastic. Will absolutely recommend to others.

Rachel B.

I purchased a ROLLO printer to use with my Mac for faster and cheaper printing of our packing labels for our farm boxes. These labels have unique info on them, such as the custom order of each customer, along with their address and contact info for delivery. We needed to be able to customize shipping labels to meet our small farm's needs and I couldn't believe how intuitive and versatile Label LIVE was. Customer support has been fantastic!

Kasey C.

I had a last minute order that needed labels. We had not planned on this particular order going out until my admin returned. Support walked me through it with ease. From a small business to another, kudos on your top notch customer service.

Joshua D.

Label LIVE has been a huge improvement to what we were doing. The software is super easy and if you have any questions they are very, very responsive to questions. I found them when I bought my ROLLO Printer. Label LIVE helps me make labels that look great and have all the info that I want on them and in exactly the right location.

Chris M.

This software solved a problem of printing labels from a database housed in Excel. We had been manually typing up each label with the Brother software, but now Label LIVE automatically pulls this information from the excel sheet. This saves a lot of time and reduces the chances of errors from each manual entry.

Jacob H.

This app SERIOUSLY has saved myself and my staff hours of time in setting up barcodes. I couldn't have done any of it without Label LIVE.
