Address and shipping labels each have one clear job. Multipurpose labels are different: they’re the labels you reach for when you need to mark a bin, date a food container, tag a product or print a barcode. Dymo offers four popular multipurpose sizes, and each suits a different kind of task. Rather than listing specs, this guide matches each label to the jobs it handles best.
Dymo 30334: The All-Rounder
The Dymo 30334 measures 2-1/4” x 1-1/4”, which is large enough for a barcode plus a line or two of text and still small enough for jars, boxes and bins. It’s the most versatile of the four.
Common uses include:
• Barcodes and SKUs for inventory and stockrooms
• Food prep and date labels in restaurant and catering kitchens
• Product labels for small-batch goods such as candles, soaps and baked items
• Sample and specimen labels in labs and clinics
Our Dymo 30334 compatible labels come 1,000 to a roll, so busy kitchens and warehouses can print all week without stopping.
Dymo 30336: Small and Versatile
At 1” x 2-1/8”, the Dymo 30336 is a slim, rectangular label that fits where larger labels won’t. It’s a favorite for shelf edges, cable tags, small boxes, test tubes and retail items that need a short description or price. Order our Dymo 30336 multipurpose labels, with 500 labels per roll, for everyday labeling around the office or shop.
Dymo 30332: Square Labels for QR Codes
The Dymo 30332 is a 1” x 1” square, the ideal shape for QR codes, which need equal width and height to scan reliably. It also works well for asset tags, inventory checks, short codes and simple icons. Shop our Dymo 30332 compatible labels, with 750 per roll.
You’ll often see searches for “Dymo 30332 removable labels,” because Dymo’s original roll is commonly listed with a removable adhesive. Adhesive types vary between brands, so if clean removal matters for your project, check the adhesive details on the product page before ordering.
Dymo 30333: Tiny Labels, Two Across
The Dymo 30333 is the smallest of the group at 1/2” x 1”. It’s printed two across the roll, so each printed row gives you a pair of labels. That makes it efficient for labeling small parts, vials, keys, cables and jewelry boxes in bulk. When designing in Dymo Connect, remember that the layout covers both labels in the row. Explore our Dymo 30333 labels, with 1,000 per roll.

Tips for Printing Barcodes on Multipurpose Labels
• Use the barcode tool in Dymo Connect. It supports common formats such as Code 128, UPC and QR codes.
• Leave a quiet zone. Keep a small blank margin on each side of the barcode so scanners can read it.
• Don’t shrink barcodes too far. If a barcode is hard to scan, move up to a larger label such as the 30334.
• Test before batch printing. Scan one label with your scanner or phone before printing a full run.
• Keep labels out of heat and sunlight. Direct thermal labels can fade over time in hot or bright conditions, so they suit indoor use best.
Which Printers Support These Labels?
All four multipurpose labels work with the Dymo LabelWriter 400, 450, 450 Turbo and 4XL. Simply load the roll and select the matching part number in your software.
