Printing labels/price tags
Click on the Actions button on the Products & Variants page and select the Print SKU / Barcode Labels option:
You'll also have an option to print labels via the Edit Product detail page as shown here:
This will bring up additional options:
You can choose whether to translate the SKU or the Barcode fields into a visual Barcode.
The Thrive Inventory SKU generator uses UPC format (12 digits) and is the default option.
Visual barcodes cannot be printed if the number is not in a recognized format.
Next, choose the variants for which you'd like to print labels, and confirm how many labels to print for each variant.
NOTE: Avery sheets users can select how many blank cells they would like to leave unprinted before confirming.
Printing labels from Purchase Orders
When you receive a PO, you will automatically be prompted to see if you'd like to print labels for the Products just received. If you do, we'll pre-fill those Products and Quantities for you!
Things to keep in mind:
If your browser does not have the paper size built-in, use Ctrl-P (⌘-P on Mac) to view all the size options on your operating system.
Barcodes and SKUs are validated with the recognized formats below.
The Barcodes you print from Thrive Inventory can be scanned using the Barcode Scanner app.
You may need to uncheck "Fit to page" in your printer settings for proper formatting.

Known printer issue:
When printing multiple pages of Avery labels, the second (and any more than the first) page prints a few millimeters higher than the first page. If you configure the printer to skip the first page and just print the second page and onward, it does print correctly.
This issue tends to affect older and lower-end home printers.
