Guides

How the label files are built and how to get one onto the paper. Each guide is a few hundred words of steps, with the sizes taken from the label engine.

• Print a 4x6 shipping label on a thermal printer

  Make a 4x6 label PDF, check that the page is the same size as the stock, set the paper size to 4x6, and print.

• ZPL shipping labels for Zebra and Rollo printers

  What a ZPL label file contains, how to download one for a batch of orders, and how to send it to the printer.

• Make a shipping label for an eBay, Etsy or Shopify order

  Copy an order address into the label maker, or upload a CSV of orders with the documented headers, and download the label file.

Make the label first

The label maker on the home page takes one address and previews the PDF before you download it. A CSV of orders goes in on the same page, on the CSV tab. Both produce the file a guide below starts with.

Makes the label. Does not buy postage.

Blank sheets to test a printer against are on the free templates page.
