ZPL Label Designer for Odoo: Quick Start Guide

Overview

ZPL Label Designer module lets you create fully customized Zebra Programming Language (ZPL) labels for Odoo in under a minute – no coding required. With its intuitive, drag-and-drop visual editor you can:

  • Design any label size
    Adjust width, height, DPI, and orientation to suit your printing needs.

  • Attach labels to models
    Choose from four default models – Products, Product Templates, Lots/Serials, or Packages—or target any custom model in your database.

  • Add any Odoo field or asset
    Insert built-in and custom Char, Text, Integer, Float, Boolean, Many2one, Many2many, One2many, Selection, and Datetime fields, plus free-form text and images.

  • Publish and manage labels
    Use the Publish button to make your designs immediately available for download or printing.

  • Seamless integration with Print Label wizard
    From Odoo 16.0 onward, include your custom ZPL labels directly in the standard Print Label wizard for one-click printing.

Installation

On-premise

  1. Enable the module server-wide
    Edit your odoo.conf (usually in /etc/odoo/odoo.conf) and ensure the following setting includes zpl_label_designer:

[options]
server_wide_modules = base, web, zpl_label_designer
  1. Restart Odoo

sudo systemctl restart odoo

Tip: If you’re using a virtual environment or custom service name, adjust the command accordingly.

Odoo.sh

Note: In many cases, the module installs automatically on Odoo.sh without extra steps. Try a normal install first via the Apps dashboard.

  1. Open the Shell

    • Log in to your Odoo.sh project.

    • Click the Shell tab (next to History, Mails, Editor).

    nano /home/odoo/.config/odoo/odoo.conf 

    Locate (or add) the server_wide_modules line:

    server_wide_modules = base, web, zpl_label_designer
