QR Code Label Generator

About

This project generates IDs and their respective QR code (with a URL prefix) for 4785 label sheets (DIN A4). This can for example be used to inventory small batches of items without buying a dedicated label printer, for example for your home.

Currently, this project only supports incrementing hexadecimal numbers as IDs.

If you need support for other ID schemas or label sheet layouts, create an issue and I'll look into it.

Setup

For this project, you need a working Python 3 installation.

git clone https://github.com/Tanikai/qr-code-label-generator
cd qr-code-label-generator
pip install -r requirements.txt

Attention: You might need to install additional dependencies depending on your platform, as this project uses Weasyprint to generate the PDF file. Read this documentation article on what dependencies you might need.
