If you want to print 50 labels you need 50 rows. If all labels should contain the same value you have to insert the same value for all columns.

You could copy the retrieved rows to get the number of rows you want.

Or your find a way to get the number of duplicate rows from your database.

Here an example that should work with oracle:

SELECT ...FROM yourtable,     (SELECT 1 FROM DUAL CONNECT BY LEVEL <= :number_of_rows)WHERE barcode_id = :id
