Can I mail a package with this label?

Not by itself. USPS, UPS and FedEx only accept packages with a label they issued, which carries the postage and a tracking barcode. Every label from this template says “Address label only · No postage paid” across the top. It is for packages you deliver yourself, couriers, freight pallets, moves and internal shipments. For carrier shipping, buy a label in the ShipWave shipping calculator.

How do I print a 4×6 label on a thermal printer?

Download the 4" × 6" PDF and print it with the paper size set to 4 × 6 in (or 100 × 150 mm) and scaling at 100%. Rollo, Zebra, MUNBYN and similar printers all print 4 × 6 PDFs this way.

Can I print it on regular paper?

Yes. Choose Letter paper to get two 4 × 6 labels per page with a border to cut along. Tape the label on with clear packing tape, keeping the tape off any barcode.

How do I label a shipment with several boxes?

Enter the number of boxes. You get one label per box, numbered “1 of 3”, “2 of 3” and so on, so the receiver can check that everything arrived.

What is the blank fillable PDF for?

It is the same 4 × 6 layout with fillable form fields and check boxes. Fill it in with any PDF reader, or print it and write the addresses by hand.

Is anything I type saved?

No. The label is built in your browser. If you choose to remember the From address, it stays only in this browser’s storage.
