The Avery Design & Print alternative built specifically for retail stores
Avery's free online software is a great general-purpose label designer, but it isn't built around a store's product catalog. Taglea replaces sluggish manual formatting with an automated retail price tag engine. Keep using your favorite Avery sheets or cardstock, but get zero-waste printing, automated POS catalog imports, and category-wide branding.

Why store owners switch to Taglea
Stop throwing away half-used sheets
Peeling three labels off a sheet used to mean throwing away the rest or fighting your printer. With Taglea's offset tool, you pick where to start and use every last label.
Change prices in 30 seconds
When wholesale costs jump, drop your new catalog CSV into Taglea. Prices update instantly, and you print only the tags that changed.
Professional shelf aesthetics
Instead of misaligned text boxes and inconsistent fonts, your entire shop enjoys clean, readable typography that builds trust with shoppers.
Print on cardstock or labels
Use Avery adhesive labels for peg items, or switch to inexpensive heavy cardstock (65–110 lb) for shelf channels and display stands.
Works with your existing printer
No need to invest $300+ in a Zebra or Dymo thermal printer with fading monochrome rolls. Any standard desktop laser or inkjet prints in vibrant color.
Simple, honest pricing
Plans start at $19/mo ($15/mo billed annually) with a 14-day free trial. Cancel anytime with no long-term contracts.
