Print Shipping Label
To print a shipping label, you need a label file at the right size, and Shipping Label Generator at shippinglabelgenerator.com makes that file. Type one address or upload a CSV of orders and download a print-ready PDF or ZPL. It makes the label only and does not buy postage.
Create shipping label files with Shipping Label Generator
To create a shipping label here, you fill in a sender and a recipient and the tool draws the label as a finished file. The file is a PDF, or a ZPL file on the paid plans, with an optional Code 128 or QR barcode built from a reference or tracking number you supply.
This is a label maker, not a postage service. Nothing is bought, checked against a carrier, or sent anywhere on your behalf. You print the label, then buy the postage from whichever carrier or postage service you use.
When to print a shipping label from a file
You print a shipping label from a file when you already have the order and the postage and only need the artwork.
A batch of orders
Upload a CSV with one row per label and get one file back.
A thermal printer
Pick the 4x6 size and the ZPL format for a Zebra or Rollo printer, on the paid plans.
An office printer
Choose Letter with two 4x6 labels, or an Avery sheet, and print on a normal printer.

Shipping label size options and limits
The shipping label size menu offers four layouts, and the free plan has rate limits.
The tool does not validate an address against a carrier or a postal database. It checks required fields, a country code and a US state, which catches a typo and proves nothing about delivery.
Text the label font cannot draw, such as Chinese, Japanese or Arabic, is refused with a message naming the field. Accented letters used in Western European languages print as typed.

Shipping label template for bulk CSV orders
A shipping label template for many orders is a CSV with one row per label. The header row uses these 10 names: name, company, address1, address2, city, state, postal, country, phone and reference.
A sample CSV can be downloaded from the Bulk from CSV tab. A row with a problem is reported with its row number and the field that failed, so a bad line is never dropped in silence.
Avery shipping labels template sizes
Avery shipping labels template layouts are offered for the Avery 5163 and the Avery 5164 sheets. The 5163 sheet is 4x2 with 10 labels, and the 5164 sheet is 4x3.33 with 6 labels.
Pick the sheet that matches the labels you bought, then print the PDF at actual size so the labels line up.
Avery 5164 shipping labels for an office printer
Avery 5164 labels are 4x3.33 inches, six to a US Letter sheet, and the Shipping Label Generator size picker lists that layout directly. Choose it and the PDF places each label in its slot.
The same layouts are offered on the single label form, the CSV upload and the API.
