Small Business Shipping FAQ

Do I need a thermal printer for my small business?
Not at all. ShippingLabel generates letter-size PDFs you can print on any standard printer and trim or use with peel-and-stick label sheets. A thermal printer is faster and cheaper per label, but not required.
How many labels can I create for free?
The free tier includes unlimited labels with all carrier formats, thermal and letter PDF output, and real-time preview. No account or credit card needed.
Can I save customer addresses for repeat orders?
Yes. The Starter plan ($9/mo) includes a saved address book with 50 addresses. The Pro plan ($19/mo) offers unlimited saved addresses.
Does ShippingLabel work for international shipping?
Yes. Our carrier templates support international label formats. You will still need to handle customs forms and international postage through your carrier separately.
What carriers does ShippingLabel support?
UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, and a generic template. Each carrier format includes proper barcodes, service type indicators, and formatting that matches carrier specifications.
