4x6 half sheet w/ packing slip option is missing from International Label Output Format

We print labels on the top half of the page and the packing slip on the lower half of the page via 4x6 Half Sheet w/ Packing Slip option available for Domestic Shipments. However, for some unknown reason, this option is missing from International Shipments section. USPS International Shipping labels (including APO shipments) fit just fine on half sheet, so it would be nice to print the label on upper half and the packing slip on lower half. However, due to the fact this option is not available, the website will only print the label without the packing slip. So we have to manually create the packing slip in PDF and insert that page to the PDF file created by ShippingEasy. Having Half Sheet w/packing slip option under International Shipments would easily solve this problem. Thank you.

I've been wondering about this myself. I either have no packing slip at all (which I use for a shipping receipt) or I have to waste an extra page, when they could both print on the same page just like the domestic labels.

Great suggestion! I have passed this along to our Product Team.

Please keep this great feedback coming!

This feature would be phenomenal! We currently have to print using two different printers, two different types of labels, and use two different browsers because international lables/packing slips can't be printed on the same sheet of paper that domestic one's can. The reason for two different browsers is that chrome automatically fit's to page whereas safari doesn't, and other small oddities. Making it so that label's/packing slips fit on the same page would save us not only a time and money, but would also improve quality as we'd have the same standard format to look at for packers.
Thanks!

Hi Rachel,
Thanks for passing it to the product team. I noticed that this request was brought up before in a separate thread a year ago. I was wondering if we can combine that request with this one and maybe increase its importance with the product team? Thanks!

Emmanuel,

Thanks for mentioning this. Unfortunately, we cannot combine threads. However, the Product Team is aware of both threads/requests.

A year ago? Oh my...

We solved this by going to a dymo laser printer. We're able to print at my labels with packing slips for domestic and just sticky labels for international. Added bonus, we can now print over 40 labels per minute! Not bad for a $150 solution. The time saved will recoup the cost of the printer in less an a few weeks!

Emmanuel,

Great suggestion as you can do this on the 8.5'' x 11'' option. I, personally, was not aware that DYMO made laser printers - great find!
