Shipping Label Template: 4 × 6 Labels with Barcode
Make shipping labels on 4 × 6 in thermal labels, letter half sheets (2 per page) or A6: sender and recipient, service, weight and a Code 128 barcode of the order number, one label per recipient.
One address per block with a blank line between, or rows pasted from a spreadsheet. One label per recipient.
For a parcel you send with a carrier account, print the carrier's own label with its tracking barcode. This template is for local delivery, freight, returns and order identification.
Printer offset
Print at 100% (actual size), not "fit to page". Do a test print on plain paper, hold it against a label sheet, and use the offset if it is off by a little.
