Shipping label FAQs
Everything you ever wanted to know about creating shipping and return labels.
A shipping label is an adhesive document that contains the information essential for identifying, tracking, and delivering a package:: sender name, recipient name, barcode, tracking number, carrier (e.g., DHL, UPS), and type of service.
The return label follows the same pattern, but is used to return the package to the seller. They can be printed manually or generated automatically using shipping software, APIs, or marketplaces. Generating them correctly improves traceability, reduces errors, and speeds up logistics operations.

You can create a shipping label by filling in the details manually or automatically using software.
You can also use our generator, print the PDF you download, and attach the shipping label to your package.
The information required includes the recipient's address, postal code, weight, package dimensions, and shipping type. Automated systems generate the label in PDF, ZPL, or PNG format.

Automating label printing allows you to reduce manual intervention and optimize management times. By integrating shipping systems with platforms and marketplaces, you can generate labels automatically and in batches. Shipping rules help you select the carrier, service, and format based on predefined criteria.
Labels can be customized with logos, QR codes, return instructions, or promotional messages. Multi-carrier management allows you to print labels with tracking for each shipment or return, maintaining consistency with brand and logistics policies.

Return labels can be managed in several ways.
- The most common option is a pre-printed return label that is included in the package, ready for use.
- Paperless return labels are becoming increasingly common. These are generated via a QR code to be shown at the collection point.
- Finally, some e-commerce sites offer a self-service returns portal where customers can generate and print their own labels.
Each method has different advantages in terms of customer experience, costs, and reverse logistics. The choice depends on the type of product, the sales channel, and customer preferences.
