SKU Labels
Print the divider labels that make a card collection findable, straight from your own inventory. Group them the way your boxes are organised, print to the label printer you already own, and PowerList TCG remembers which ones you have already printed.
Finding the Card Is the Slow Part
Software can tell you a card is in box four. Box four still has to say so.
Every seller who gets past a few thousand cards ends up sorting them somehow: alphabetical, by set, by rarity, by whatever makes sense to them. That system only works if the boxes are labelled, and labelling a few hundred dividers by hand is an afternoon nobody enjoys.
The names are already in your inventory. Pick how you want them grouped, and the list of labels writes itself out of the cards you actually hold.
Ways to Group Your Labels
Nine ways to group them, one game at a time, from your stock or the whole catalog.
| Group By | Good For | Example Label |
|---|---|---|
| Card Name | Alphabetical boxes of singles. | Dark Magician |
| 1st Letter | Broad A to Z dividers. | D |
| First 2 Letters | A to Z boxes that have outgrown one divider per letter. | DA |
| Set Name | Storage sorted by release. | Metal Raiders |
| Set Code | The same, where the short code fits better. | MRD |
| Rarity | Splitting the good stuff out from bulk. | Secret Rare |
| Finish | Keeping foils apart from plain copies. | Reverse Holo |
| Color | Magic sellers sorting by border colour. | Blue |
| SKU | Labelling a specific batch of cards. | YGO-0004182 |
How a Print Run Goes
Four steps, and the second one is where most of the work disappears.
Pick Game and Grouping
Choose the game, then the grouping. Only the ones that actually have data for that game are offered.
The Queue Builds Itself
Labels already printed drop out on their own. What is left is exactly what you still need.
Select and Print
Take the whole list or tick the ones you want. The print page lays them out at your exact label size.
Mark Them Done
One button records the run. Next month it only shows you what has changed.
Things Worth Knowing
Details that show up once you are printing a few hundred at a time.
Built for a Thermal Printer
The print page sets the page size to your exact label dimensions with zero margin. That sounds like a small thing until you have fed a roll through a printer that put every label half an inch down and wasted every second sticker.
Long Names Shrink to Fit
Text steps down in size until it fits inside the printable area, measured against both width and height so a name that wraps to two lines still lands on the sticker. Turn it off and you control the size yourself.
It Remembers Every Run
Printed labels are recorded and skipped next time. Come back after a big buy and the queue is the difference between what you had and what you have now, rather than the whole list again.
Undo Is One Click
A jammed roll or a bad ribbon does not cost you the list. Clear those labels and they return to the queue immediately.
Numbered Sequences
Print runs of numbered labels from a prefix, a width and a starting number, before any cards exist. Box 0001 through 0500 for a shipment that has not arrived yet. It saves where you stopped and resumes there next time.
Set the Look Once
Font, size, bold, italic, underline, colour, horizontal and vertical alignment, padding on all four sides, and the label dimensions. Saved to your account and applied to every run after that.
Messy Names Are Cleaned Up
Pokemon prints the same card under decorated names like Great Ball - Pikachu 29, which would give you three dividers for one card. Those collapse to a single label, while genuinely hyphenated names like Ho-Oh are left alone.
Export Instead
Send the queue out as a spreadsheet if you would rather print through your own label software or hand it to someone else.
Known Limits
What these labels are and are not.
- These are storage labels, not per-card stickers. They label the dividers, boxes and tabs your cards live in. The per-copy storage location that the order pull sheet uses is a separate thing.
- One game at a time. A print run covers a single game, which is usually how boxes are separated anyway. Two games means two runs.
- A sequence run tops out at 500 labels. That is a deliberate ceiling on one print job. Run it again from where it left off for more.
- Printing goes through your browser. There is no direct printer connection. Your label size and margins have to match what the browser is told, which is why the size settings matter.
SKU Labels: Common Questions
What kind of labels is this for?
Storage. The dividers, tabs and stickers that tell you where a card lives in your boxes. It prints from what you actually hold. No typing out four hundred set names by hand.
Do I need a special printer?
A thermal label printer is what it is built for, the sort most sellers already own for postage. The print page is set to your exact label size with no page margin. One label comes out per sticker instead of shifting onto a second one.
How does it know what I have already printed?
It records every label as you print it. Print your Yu-Gi-Oh! set dividers today, buy three more boxes next month, and the queue shows only the sets you have not done. Nothing is printed twice unless you ask for it.
What if I print a bad batch?
Clear them and they come straight back into the queue. Reprints are one action, not a reason to start a new list.
Can I print labels before I have scanned anything?
Yes. Sequences generate numbered labels from a prefix, a padding width and a starting number. Label empty boxes before a single card goes in. It remembers where you stopped, and picks up there next time.
Can I control how the labels look?
Font, size, bold, italic, underline, colour, alignment in both directions, padding on each side, and the exact label dimensions. Set it once and every print run uses it.
What happens with a long card name?
The text shrinks until it fits the label, checking width and height. A wrapped two-line name still lands inside the sticker instead of running off the edge. You can turn that off if you would rather control size yourself.
Can I label cards I do not own yet?
Yes. Switch the source from your inventory to the full catalog and you can print dividers for a whole set before you have the cards, which is how most people set up boxes for a new release.
