Replacing Microsoft Publisher for your labels

Microsoft announced the end of Publisher in October 2026. Schools, charities and small businesses mostly used it for one thing: labels repeated across a sheet. BoldLabels does exactly that, in the browser, with nothing to install.

The same label across the whole sheet

In Publisher you made one page per label, then printed “multiple copies per sheet”. In BoldLabels each label is a template at its own size; when printing, Fill the sheet repeats it on every cell, no copy-paste.

  1. Create a template the size of one cell of your sheet (for example 52.5 × 74 mm for 16 labels on an A4 page, or pick an Avery Letter sheet such as 5160).
  2. Design the label: text, logo, pictograms, or describe it in one sentence to the Morph assistant.
  3. In Generate, pick your sheet or enter its measurements, then Fill the sheet (or set the number of copies).
  4. Download the PDF and print it at 100 %.

It replaces mail merge too

For labels that are all different (pupils’ names, addresses, inventory), import an Excel or CSV file: one label per row, with variables such as {{ name }} or {{ class }}. No Word, no mail merge.

What to know before switching

  • .pub files can’t be imported: each label has to be recreated once, then it stays in your library.
  • BoldLabels makes labels, not posters or brochures: other tools cover general layout.
  • The free plan includes 3 templates; paid plans offer more.

Frequently asked questions

Can I print the same label 16 times on one A4 sheet?

Yes: in Generate, “Fill the sheet” repeats the label on every cell of the page, however many there are.

Do we need to install software on school computers?

No, BoldLabels runs in the browser. A desktop app also exists for Windows and Linux.

Is it free?

Yes, the free plan lets you create 3 templates and generate 5 PDFs a day, with every sheet template.
