Moving soon? Boxly makes numbered, color-coded moving box labels with a QR code of what's inside — so you know which room every box goes to and what it holds without opening it. Add your boxes: a number, a room and a list of what's inside. Boxly lays them out on printable label sheets and adds a master packing list at the end. • BIG BOX NUMBERS — number boxes 1, 2, 3 … or in any order you like, and renumber them 1…N in one tap. • ROOM COLORS — Kitchen, Living Room, Bedroom, Bathroom, Dining Room, Office, Garage, Basement, Kids Room or Other, each with its own high-contrast color bar you can spot across a room. • CONTENTS ON THE LABEL — type one item per line; the list prints on the label. • QR CODE OF THE CONTENTS — each label carries a QR code with the box number, room and contents as plain text. Any phone camera can read it; no app is needed to scan. • MASTER PACKING LIST — after the label pages, a manifest lists every box with its room and contents, handy for movers or for tracking what's arrived. • READY FOR LABEL SHEETS — prints on Avery 5163 or compatible 4" × 2" labels, 10 per US Letter sheet. Print, share or save the PDF to Files. Good to know: the layout is for 4" × 2" US Letter label sheets only (no A4 layout), up to 500 boxes per PDF. Your box list isn't saved between sessions, so keep the PDF as your record. The QR code holds text only — it doesn't link to a website or an inventory account. Everything is made on your iPhone — nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free — 3 label PDFs. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited label sheets. No subscription, no ads.
