Sample CSV Barcode Examples
Download ready-made CSV files and see the column format QuickCode expects for bulk UPC-A, EAN-13, and Code 128 label generation.
Download sample files
Use these files to try the upload flow without preparing your own spreadsheet. Each includes SKU, product name, barcode, quantity, and price columns — the fields most sellers map on the first run.
- upload-test-products.csv — 7 rows with UPC-A barcodes (full demo set used on the upload page)
- sample-products.csv — 3-row minimal file for a quick test
- upload-test-products.xlsx / .xls — same data in Excel format
After download, open Upload CSV and select the file, or click “Try Sample Data” on the homepage to load the demo set automatically.
Expected CSV column format
QuickCode auto-detects common header names. Your file needs at least one barcode column; other fields are optional but useful on printed labels.
| Column | Required | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| barcode / upc / ean / gtin | Yes | 725272730706 | 12-digit UPC-A or 13-digit EAN-13 |
| sku | Recommended | TSHIRT-BLK-M | Shown on label when mapped |
| product_name / name | Optional | Black T-Shirt M | Truncates on small templates |
| quantity | Optional | 25 | Prints that many labels per row |
| price | Optional | 19.99 | Use plain numbers, no currency symbol |
Example rows (from sample-products.csv)
| sku | product_name | barcode | quantity | price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TSHIRT-BLK-M | Black T-Shirt M | 725272730706 | 25 | 19.99 |
| MUG-WHITE | White Coffee Mug | 725272730713 | 42 | 12.99 |
| TOTE-BLK | Black Canvas Tote | 725272730720 | 15 | 24.99 |
After upload, map these columns on the field-mapping step, choose UPC-A or EAN-13, pick a template such as Avery 5160, and preview before printing.
Common validation errors
- Missing barcode — a row has SKU and name but an empty barcode cell. Fix in your spreadsheet or remove the row before upload.
- Invalid length — UPC-A requires 12 digits; EAN-13 requires 13. Values with letters or dashes fail validation.
- Scientific notation — Excel converts long GTINs to 7.25E+11. Format the column as Text before export.
- Invalid quantity — must be a positive whole number. Decimals and negative values are rejected.
- Duplicate headers— two columns named “barcode” confuse auto-mapping. Rename one column in Excel first.
