FAQ

Can you print 4x6 shipping labels on a normal printer?

Standard home and office printers like inkjet or laser models can technically print 4x6 shipping labels by using adhesive label sheets or resizing the document. However, for faster, more efficient, and professional results, especially in high-volume shipping environments, a direct thermal printer paired with 4x6 shipping label rolls is the go-to solution. 

How big do shipping labels need to be?

Most shipping services (like UPS, FedEx, USPS) recommend or require 4x6-inch labels for barcodes, tracking, and delivery information. It’s a universal standard across most e-commerce and logistics platforms.

How do I store 4x6 direct thermal labels with a 1-inch core?

For best results, store your 4x6 direct thermal labels in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. Exposure to extreme conditions may affect the adhesive strength and cause premature fading. Keeping the labels sealed in their original packaging until ready for use can extend their shelf life and ensure consistent, high-quality prints.

How do small businesses create shipping labels?

Small businesses often use integrated platforms like Shopify or Etsy to generate shipping labels. Simply connect a thermal printer, load your 4x6 shipping labels, and print directly from your dashboard.
