SKU Generator
Create readable SKU ideas for small product catalogs.
Readable SKUs for your catalog
A good SKU is short, consistent, and human-readable — encoding attributes like category, color, and size so warehouse and listing work is faster. This generator produces readable SKU ideas for a small catalog from your product attributes.
A consistent SKU scheme reduces picking errors and makes inventory legible at a glance. Feed in your attributes, generate SKU patterns, and adopt a format you can apply uniformly across the catalog.
Readable, consistent SKUs
Encoding attributes like category, color, and size keeps SKUs short and meaningful for warehouse and listing work. Generation runs in your browser and never uploads anything.
Frequently asked questions
How are the sample SKUs built?
The first three letters of each word in the product become the prefix, the first three letters of each variant word become the middle, and a three-digit sequence ends it: "desk organizer" in "walnut small" gives DESORG-WALSMA-001.
Why avoid spaces and special characters?
Spaces, slashes, and symbols break in barcode fonts, spreadsheets, and some ecommerce imports. Letters, numbers, and hyphens work everywhere.
Should a SKU contain the price or supplier code?
No. Prices change and suppliers switch, which would make the SKU wrong. Keep it to stable attributes like category and variant.
