Mailing labels from google sheets

A convenient and time-saving task!

You can create mailing labels from Google Sheets using a few different methods. Here are a few options:

Method 1: Using Google Sheets' built-in feature

1. Open your Google Sheet and select the range of cells that contains the data you want to use for the mailing labels.
2. Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Create a document".
3. In the "Create a document" window, select "Mailing label" as the document type.
4. Choose the label size and orientation you want to use.
5. Click "Create" to generate the mailing labels.

Method 2: Using a third-party add-on

There are several third-party add-ons available that can help you create mailing labels from Google Sheets. Here are a few options:

1. Labeljoy: This add-on allows you to create custom labels with your own design and layout. You can download the add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
2. Mailing Label Generator: This add-on is specifically designed for creating mailing labels from Google Sheets. You can download the add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
3. Sheet2Label: This add-on allows you to create mailing labels from Google Sheets and export them to various file formats, including PDF and CSV. You can download the add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace.

Method 3: Using a script

If you're comfortable with coding, you can use a Google Apps Script to create mailing labels from Google Sheets. Here's an example script that you can use as a starting point:

function createMailingLabels() {
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var dataRange = sheet.getRange("A1:B10"); // adjust the range to match your data
  var data = dataRange.getValues();

  var labelSize = "4x6"; // adjust the label size to match your needs
  var labelOrientation = "portrait"; // adjust the label orientation to match your needs

  var labels = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    var row = data[i];
    var label = {
      "name": row[0],
      "address": row[1],
      "city": row[2],
      "state": row[3],
      "zip": row[4]
    };
    labels.push(label);
  }

  var labelTemplate = "<table><tr><td><b>Name:</b> {name}</td></tr><tr><td><b>Address:</b> {address}</td></tr><tr><td><b>City:</b> {city}</td></tr><tr><td><b>State:</b> {state}</td></tr><tr><td><b>Zip:</b> {zip}</td></tr></table>";

  var labelHtml = "";
  for (var i = 0; i < labels.length; i++) {
    var label = labels[i];
    labelHtml += labelTemplate.replace("{name}", label.name).replace("{address}", label.address).replace("{city}", label.city).replace("{state}", label.state).replace("{zip}", label.zip);
  }

  var labelDoc = DocumentApp.createDocument();
  labelDoc.setHtmlContent(labelHtml);
  labelDoc.setLabelSize(labelSize);
  labelDoc.setLabelOrientation(labelOrientation);

  var labelBlob = labelDoc.getAs("application/pdf");
  var labelFile = DriveApp.createFile(labelBlob);

  Logger.log("Mailing labels created and saved to Google Drive!");
}

This script assumes that you have a Google Sheet with a range of cells that contains the data you want to use for the mailing labels. The script uses the getValues() method to retrieve the data, and then loops through the data to create a label for each row. The script uses a template to format the label, and then saves the labels as a PDF file to Google Drive.

I hope these options help you create mailing labels from Google Sheets!
