Create PDF Labels With API

CraftMyPDF supports RESTful API integration. The integration with REST API makes it easy to auto create PDF labels in your application.

Shipping labels, product labels and asset tags have to match a physical layout exactly, down to the margins and the barcode. Build the sheet once at the right size, then feed it order or inventory data for print-ready PDFs.

Design the template once in our drag-and-drop editor, then POST your JSON — your PDF labels come back with tables, images, barcodes and QR codes rendered from your data. Any language that speaks HTTP works, with no PDF library to maintain.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you create labels with the API?

Set up the template once at the exact size of your label paper, with the margins, barcode and text where the printer needs them. After that, every order or stock item is one API call. Your system sends the address, SKU or asset number and gets back a PDF that is ready to print. The layout stays the same every time because nobody is rebuilding it by hand.

Can the label have a barcode or QR code?

Yes. Add a barcode or QR block to the template and tell it which field to read. Every label then comes out with its own code, so the tracking number, SKU or asset ID scans straight off the print.

We print hundreds of labels at once when orders go out. Will that work?

Yes. Send the whole batch at once and the PDFs are made in the background while your system carries on. Pick up the files when they are ready. If your order list is in a spreadsheet, the free PDF tools include a shipping label maker, an address label maker and a bulk generator that makes one PDF per row, which is a simple way to test before writing any code.

Does the label have to be separate from the packing slip?

No. The same order data can fill two templates, so the label and the packing slip come from one call. A packing slip made from the receipt template, for example, uses the same order lines as the label.

Who uses this?

Logistics teams for dispatch labels, online shops for shipping and returns, manufacturers for product and asset tags, and facilities teams for equipment labels. The industries pages show the usual documents and workflow for each. If your warehouse system needs the PDFs saved straight into your own S3 storage, that is covered under enterprise features.

How many labels can I make on the free plan?

50 PDFs a month, no credit card needed. One PDF uses one credit no matter how many labels are on the sheet. That is enough to line up the template with your label paper and run a few test prints. For everything else the editor and API can do, including barcodes and expressions, see features.
