The SKU Generator is a powerful tool designed to help businesses create unique, structured, and readable SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) for inventory management. Whether you’re a small retailer or managing a large-scale eCommerce platform, generating consistent SKUs can streamline your operations, improve tracking accuracy, and enhance reporting.
This tool allows users to define SKU structure using key product attributes like Item Name, Size, Material, Color, and more — with customization options for character length and separators. With real-time previews and export features, managing inventory identifiers has never been easier.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Custom Character Count | Set the desired number of characters for each segment in the SKU. |
| Separator Options | Choose a separator such as /, -, _, or none to format the SKU. |
| Attribute Inputs | Enter product attributes like size, material, color, etc. |
| Live Preview | Instantly preview how the SKU will look based on your inputs. |
| Copy SKU | Copy the generated SKU with a single click for easy pasting. |
| Generate Multiple SKUs | Generate SKUs for different combinations of attributes in bulk. |
| Clear Form | Reset all input fields and start fresh with a single click. |
| Export as CSV | Export the generated SKUs as a .csv file for use in inventory systems. |
| Total SKU Counter | Displays the total number of SKUs generated during your session. |
By using defined inputs and a consistent structure, the SKU Generator helps you create unique codes for every product and variation. This eliminates duplicate entries and confusion during restocking, fulfillment, or customer service.
The tool allows you to enforce a consistent SKU format across all your products, which is especially important when your catalog scales to hundreds or thousands of items. Standardization helps improve organization and integration with third-party tools.
Manual SKU creation is slow and error-prone. With this generator, you can rapidly produce structured SKUs with just a few clicks. This is a major time-saver during new product launches or catalog migrations.
Readable and predictable SKUs help warehouse staff pick and pack items faster. When the SKU contains logical abbreviations for size, color, or type, staff can process orders with greater confidence and fewer mistakes.
Structured SKUs allow for better segmentation and reporting. For example, you can easily generate reports that group all “Red Shoes” or “Size M Jackets” together. This helps in making smarter business decisions based on clean data.
Online sellers often list the same product on multiple platforms. A consistent SKU structure ensures better synchronization of stock levels and product details across platforms like Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, or Etsy.
The ability to generate multiple SKUs and export them as a CSV file streamlines integration with Excel, Google Sheets, or ERP systems. You can bulk upload to your inventory software without reformatting.
SKU codes are often used across departments: sales, support, warehouse, purchasing, and accounting. A consistent and intuitive SKU format helps every team stay aligned and reduces miscommunication.
When your SKU logic is generated based on rules instead of typed manually, you drastically reduce human error. This improves the integrity of your inventory system and ensures better customer service.
As your product catalog grows, so does the need for a scalable system. The SKU Generator ensures that new product SKUs follow the same format, allowing you to scale your operations without breaking consistency.
| Industry | Application |
|---|---|
| Retail | Generate SKUs for apparel items with size, color, and style attributes. |
| eCommerce | Create structured SKUs for product catalogs uploaded to online platforms. |
| Manufacturing | Assign SKUs to component parts based on specifications. |
| Warehouse Mgmt. | Use SKUs to label, store, and locate items quickly. |
| Wholesale | Create unique identifiers for bulk items with batch details. |
| Pharmaceuticals | Track medicine types by dosage, packaging, and active ingredients. |
Keep it Short but Meaningful: Use abbreviations for long words (e.g., “Black” becomes “BLK”, “Leather” becomes “LEA”).
Use a Standard Format: Always maintain the same order of attributes (e.g., Item-Size-Material-Color).
Avoid Special Characters: Stick to dashes, underscores, or slashes as separators for maximum compatibility.
Don’t Start with Zeroes: Leading zeroes can be dropped by Excel or other systems.
Stay Unique: Never reuse the same SKU for different products or versions.
For a product named “T-Shirt” in size “L”, color “Red”, made of “Cotton”, using 3-character abbreviations and a dash (-) separator:
| Component | Input | Abbreviation |
|---|---|---|
| Item Name | T-Shirt | TSH |
| Attribute 1 | Large | LAR |
| Attribute 2 | Cotton | COT |
| Attribute 3 | Red | RED |
| Final SKU | TSH-LAR-COT-RED |
The tool does this abbreviation automatically based on character limits you define.
Item Name *: The primary identifier of the product (e.g., Shoes, Shirt).
Attribute 1 *: Usually denotes size, model, or a defining feature (e.g., US-44, Medium).
Attribute 2: Additional descriptor such as material (e.g., Leather, Cotton).
Attribute 3: Optional detail like color or finish (e.g., Black, Glossy).
Character Count: Maximum number of characters used per segment. Helps standardize SKU format.
Separator: Choose how SKU parts are separated. Options: Slash (/), Dash (-), Underscore (_), or None.
