The templates

Four layouts: a 4x6 label per page for a thermal printer, two 4x6 labels on a US Letter sheet, the Avery 5163 sheet (4 by 2 inches, 10 labels per sheet), and the Avery 5164 sheet (4 by 3.33 inches, 6 labels per sheet). The same four are offered on the single label form, the CSV upload and the API.

Avery 5163 and 5164 are the peel-and-stick sheets made for an office printer, and the dimensions here are the standard 4 by 2 inch and 4 by 3.33 inch cells. The Letter sheet carries two 4x6 labels, which is the shape a thermal label takes when it has to go through a laser or inkjet printer.

One address, every copy

Type the address into the form. The template decides where the name, the street lines and the city line sit, so you position nothing yourself, and a long address wraps and the type shrinks to fit rather than running over the edge of the cell.

For a batch, the CSV tab runs the same address fields through the same template, one row per label, and a row that fails comes back with its row number and the field that broke.

Barcodes and references

A Code 128 or QR barcode is optional on every layout. It is built from a reference or tracking number you supply, which is your number, not one this tool makes up.

What a template does not include

It makes the label file and nothing else. No postage is bought, no carrier account is connected, no rate is quoted, and no tracking number is invented. You print the label, then buy the postage from whichever carrier or postage service you already use.

Prices

Free, $0 a month: Up to 1,000 single labels a day, and 10 bulk rows a day per IP address, no signup. Pro, $12 a month: 3,000 labels a month for regular shipping. Business, $29 a month: 15,000 labels a month for high volume shipping.

Every template is available on every plan, including the free one, and the PDF page is the exact size of the sheet you picked, so a 4x6 label is a 4x6 PDF. The templates page carries blank versions of the 4x6 page and the two Avery sheets if you want to test a printer first.

Shipping label template questions

Which Avery sheets are supported?

Avery 5163, which is 4 by 2 inches with 10 labels per sheet, and Avery 5164, which is 4 by 3.33 inches with 6 labels per sheet. Both are laid out cell by cell at the standard measurements.

Can I download a blank template?

The template is the layout the tool prints into, so the file you get is the filled label. Download it with the address you need and print it at actual size. For a blank sheet with no address, the templates page has the 4x6 page and both Avery sheets as PDF downloads.

Do I have to print the whole sheet?

No. A thermal printer takes the 4x6 layout one label at a time. On an Avery sheet, print the page and peel off the labels you filled; the tool does not require the sheet to be full.
