What Labelle is

Labelle is free, open-source desktop software for printing labels on listed DYMO devices. It can combine text, QR codes, barcodes, and images in a label. Its PyQt6 graphical interface provides a live preview, margin controls, type-size selection, and a tape-color display; users can arrange text, QR, barcode, and image elements and select text fonts and barcode coding. A batch mode reads specifications from standard input and supports text, line breaks, QR codes, and barcodes. Listed devices include DYMO LabelManager PC, LabelPoint 350, LabelManager 280, LabelManager 420P, and LabelManager Wireless PnP. On Windows, the project describes using the WinUSB driver configured through Zadig. For Linux, it recommends pipx and documents USB library and device-permission requirements. The project uses the Apache-2.0 license and states that the software comes without warranty. It also says it has no affiliation with DYMO and does not imply endorsement or partnership. PyPI lists version 1.5.0, released June 1, 2026.
