ResistorLabels

This script generates labels for resistor zip bags.

It is meant for AVERY 5260 or AVERY L7157 labels and 7x10cm (3"x4") zip bags.

The generated labels include:

  • Resistor value
  • 4- and 5-band color codes
  • 3- and 4-digit smd codes
  • EIA-96 smd code

Usage

  • Install python3
  • Install the python3 library reportlab. This library is used to do the actual PDF generation.
  • Add your own required resistor values in main() of LabelGenerator.py.
  • If using Avery L7157, change the layout value in main() to AVERY_L7157.
  • Run the script LabelGenerator.py!

It will now generate a ResistorLabels.pdf that can be used to print onto AVERY 5260/L7157.

For all the non-programmers, there are also pre-generated versions with all common resistor values for Avery 5260 and Avery L7157.

Troubleshoot

  • if label comes out misagliend like this: , follow below steps to troubleshoot

More Details

This is based on an idea from Zach Poff.
