Nest Egg prints labels directly from the browser and from the iPhone, iPad, and Android apps, to label printers such as the Brother QL-1110NWB, or to Avery label sheets on a laser printer. On iPhone and iPad, it prints with AirPrint. On Android, some printers need the printer maker's app. Labels can be round, square, or rectangular. Each template sets how many fields a label holds, and several templates let you choose which item details to print. You can also change the text and images on a label. Sortly makes a PDF of your labels that you open and print yourself, and its help center describes preset rectangular and square label sizes, one item detail per QR code label, and barcode labels on the Ultra plan and up.
