FAQ About Shipping Labels

Can I use a normal printer to print shipping labels?

Yes, you can use a normal inkjet or laser printer to print shipping labels, but there are a few things to consider:

Pros of Using a Normal Printer for Shipping Labels

Convenience – If you already own a standard printer, you don’t need to invest in a new device.

Cost-Effective for Low Volume – If you only print a few labels occasionally, using a regular printer is a budget-friendly option.

Supports Standard Paper – You can use regular paper and tape or buy half-sheet adhesive shipping labels (such as 8.5” x 11” sheets with two labels per page).

Cons and Limitations

Ink and Toner Costs – Inkjet printers consume more ink, making long-term costs higher. Laser printers are more economical but still require toner replacements.

Durability Issues – Ink from inkjet printers can smudge when exposed to moisture, whereas thermal-printed labels are more resistant.

Cutting and Taping Required – If using regular paper, you’ll need to cut and tape the label to the package, adding extra steps.

Slower and Less Efficient – Printing on sheet labels is less efficient compared to direct thermal printers, which print on continuous label rolls.

Better Alternative: Thermal Label Printers

If you print shipping labels regularly, a thermal label printer is a better investment. These printers:

Use heat to print, eliminating the need for ink or toner.

Provide waterproof and smudge-resistant labels.

Print faster and more efficiently.

Work with 4" x 6" labels, commonly used for shipping.

If you only print a few labels per month, a normal printer will suffice. However, for eCommerce businesses handling daily shipments, a dedicated thermal printer (like those from Rollo, Zebra, or Dymo) will save time and money in the long run.

What size shipping labels should I use?

The best shipping label size depends on your shipping carrier, printer type, and packaging needs. Here’s a breakdown of the most commonly used label sizes:

1. Standard 4x6 Inch Labels (Best for Most Shipments)

🔹 Recommended for: Occasional shippers who don’t have a thermal printer

3. 6x3 Inch Labels (Small Shipping & Return Labels)

✅ Best for: Small packages, envelopes, return labels

✅ Printer Type: Inkjet, laser, or thermal printers

📌 For small packages or returns → 6x3 inches or half-sheet labels

📌 For mailing tubes → 2x7 inches

How to print a 4x6 shipping label?

Printing a 4x6 shipping label depends on whether you’re using a thermal label printer or a regular printer (inkjet or laser). Here’s how to do it for each option:

1. Printing with a Thermal Label Printer (Recommended)

If you have a thermal printer (e.g., Rollo, Zebra, Dymo, Brother), follow these steps:

Steps:

Load the Labels

Insert a 4x6-inch thermal label roll or sheet into the printer.

Adjust Printer Settings

On your computer, go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers

Right-click on your thermal printer and select Printing Preferences.

Set the paper size to 4x6 inches (or 100mm x 150mm).

Download the Shipping Label

Most carriers (UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, etc.) let you download labels as PDF, PNG, or ZPL.

Ensure you select 4x6 inches as the format.

Print the Label

Open the file in Adobe Acrobat Reader or your preferred viewer.

Click Print, ensure the correct printer is selected, and check the scaling (should be 100% or "Actual Size").

Print the label and affix it to your package.

2. Printing with a Regular Printer (Inkjet or Laser)

If you don’t have a thermal printer, you can still print a 4x6 label on regular 8.5” x 11” paper or sticker sheets.

Option 1: Print on Regular Paper & Tape It

Download the Label in 4x6 PDF format.

Open the File in a PDF viewer like Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Set Paper Size to Letter (8.5” x 11”) in printer settings.

Select "Actual Size" or 100% Scale to avoid resizing issues.

Print the Label on regular paper.

Cut out the label and tape it securely to your package.

Option 2: Print on Half-Sheet (Self-Adhesive Labels)

Use half-sheet sticker paper (like Avery 5126) that has two 8.5” x 5.5” labels per page.

Adjust your print settings to fit two labels per page.

Print the label, peel it off, and stick it on your package.

Tips for Best Results

✅ Use a Thermal Printer – Saves time, no ink needed, and labels are more durable.

✅ Set Paper Size Correctly – Make sure your settings match the actual label size.

✅ Avoid Scaling Issues – Always print at 100% (Actual Size) instead of "Fit to Page."

✅ Use High-Quality Paper/Labels – For inkjet/laser printers, adhesive label paper works best.

For frequent shipping, investing in a thermal label printer is highly recommended as it simplifies the process and saves costs in the long run! 🚀

Do you offer bulk pricing or wholesale discounts?

Yes! We offer bulk pricing and wholesale discounts to help businesses save on high-volume shipping label purchases. The more you buy, the more you save—our tiered pricing structure ensures that larger orders come with lower per-unit costs. This is ideal for eCommerce businesses, warehouses, fulfillment centers, and logistics companies that require a steady supply of labels.

We also provide customized wholesale packages to meet your specific needs, whether you need thousands or tens of thousands of labels. By purchasing in bulk, you reduce operational costs while ensuring a consistent supply of high-quality, durable labels. Contact us today for custom bulk pricing options!

Do you offer custom-printed shipping labels?

We specialize in blank shipping labels, offering a wide range of sizes and materials compatible with various printers. However, for businesses requiring custom-printed labels, we can explore bulk custom printing options based on order volume. Whether you need branded shipping labels, pre-printed barcodes, logos, or custom templates, we can accommodate large-scale custom orders. Custom labels help enhance brand recognition, streamline logistics, and improve operational efficiency. Since customization requires specific production processes, minimum order quantities (MOQs) and lead times apply. If you're interested in custom-printed shipping labels, reach out to discuss pricing, design options, and bulk order requirements!

How do I choose the right shipping label for my needs?

Choosing the right shipping label depends on your carrier, printer, and shipping volume. First, determine if you need direct thermal or inkjet/laser labels based on your printer type. Next, consider the size requirements of your preferred carrier—most major carriers like USPS, UPS, and FedEx use 4” x 6” labels. If you’re shipping smaller items, a 2-5/16” x 4” label may work better. If you need durable, weatherproof, or removable labels, check for specialty materials. Finally, consider bulk purchasing if you process high shipping volumes to save on costs.

What is the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer shipping labels?

Direct thermal and thermal transfer labels both use heat to create prints, but they function differently. Direct thermal labels do not require ink or ribbons; instead, they use a heat-sensitive material that darkens when exposed to a thermal printhead. These labels are great for short-term use (like shipping and logistics) but can fade over time if exposed to heat, light, or moisture. Thermal transfer labels, on the other hand, require a ribbon to print, producing longer-lasting, high-resolution prints. If you need durable, fade-resistant labels for inventory or storage, thermal transfer labels are the better choice.
