Shipping labels are essential for ensuring your parcels reach their destination. Here are some tips to help you create and attach shipping labels correctly.
Do enter all address fields correctly and ensure you put the right information in the right field
Don’t write the words ‘postcode’ or ‘zip code’ in the postcode area – only the postcode itself should go in this space
Do check the settings on your printer are at a high definition and change ink if necessary
Don’t Send any parcels where the address is faded, or the barcode is pixelated
Do cut your label down to standard size (A6) ensuring the barcode is still visible
Don't make your labels so small they can’t be read
Do place your label flat on the top side of the parcel
Don't place it over the taped-up join of the parcel where it can easily rip
Do use 6x4 thermal labels and printer if possible. Cover any paper labels with protective clear sleeve or clear tape
Don't leave any paper labels exposed to potential ripping or print damage
