ShippingEasy provides templates for a range of label sizes: 4" x 5", 4" x 6", 4" x 8".
By default ShippingEasy's software prints out 4" x 6" single labels. These can be printed on any printer, but are especially useful if you are printing on thermal printer, such as a DYMO LabelWriter printer. Find our more about DYMO LabelWriters.
For most label formats, we also make recommendations for manufacturer specific paper well suited to the label dimensions.
NOTE: the links that we've provided are links to sites that sell the optimal paper to print that particular label format on. Please keep in mind that these sites are stores -- meaning that you must pay for these labels.
Here's an overview of our label options for both domestic and international labels:
