How to Print a Shipping Label at FedEx Office

FedEx Office (formerly Kinko's) is one of the best printing options for shipping labels — they have 2,000+ locations, extended hours, self-service kiosks, and support for both PDF printing and FedEx's own QR code Print & Go system. If you have a label PDF, you can print it from a USB drive, email, or the self-service computer for a low per-page fee. If you have a FedEx QR code label (from fedex.com), show it at the counter and they print and apply it for free.

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Find your nearest FedEx Office

    Use fedex.com/en-us/office/locations.html to find the closest location. Most are open 7 days a week; 24-hour locations are available in major cities and near universities.

  2. 2

    Option A: Print & Go (FedEx QR code — free)

    When creating a label at fedex.com or via the FedEx app, select 'Label-free returns' or 'Print & Go' option. FedEx emails a QR code. Bring your phone with the QR code to any FedEx Office. The associate scans it, the label prints on their system, and they apply it to your package at no charge.

  3. 3

    Option B: Self-service kiosk (bring PDF)

    Bring a USB drive with the label PDF, or email it to yourself and access the email via the self-service computer kiosk. Upload the PDF, select 4×6 label size, and print. Cost: typically $0.79–$1.50 per label page.

  4. 4

    Option C: FedEx Office associate assistance

    Hand your phone or USB to the counter associate. They'll print the label for you — faster than the kiosk, same price. They'll also package it if needed (additional cost for packing services).

  5. 5

    Drop off the package at the same location

    FedEx Office locations are official FedEx drop-off points. After printing, the associate logs the package into the system and you get a receipt with the tracking number confirmation.

Good to know

  • FedEx Print & Go QR code is free at FedEx Office — it's FedEx's preferred label-free solution and eliminates any printing cost.
  • Not all FedEx Office locations have 24-hour access; check hours before making a special trip in the evening.
  • FedEx Office can also create a label from scratch if you don't have one — you pay FedEx retail rates plus a small service fee.

Frequently asked questions

Is FedEx Print & Go free?
Yes. If you generate a QR code via fedex.com or the FedEx app, FedEx Office prints and applies the label at no charge. You only pay for the shipping postage you already purchased.
Can I print a USPS or UPS label at FedEx Office?
FedEx Office will print any PDF you provide — but they won't accept USPS or UPS packages. You'd print the label there, then take the package to a USPS post office or UPS location.
What file format does FedEx Office accept?
PDF is best. They also accept Word documents and image files via USB or email, but PDFs ensure the label prints at the correct size and resolution. Always save your label as a PDF.
Do I need a FedEx account to use FedEx Office?
No. Walk-in customers without an account can print labels and ship. If you have a FedEx account, entering it gives you access to your negotiated rates.
