Thermal Shipping Labels

Blank direct-thermal labels in the standard 4 x 6 in shipping size, fanfold or roll.

What it is

Blank direct-thermal label stock in the standard 4 x 6 inch shipping size, sold as a fanfold stack or a roll.

What it solves

A thermal printer is useless without the right stock, and the wrong stack will not feed.

What this kind of product gives you

  • Made for direct-thermal printing, so no ink is needed
  • Perforated between labels
  • The size the carriers expect
  • Sold in bulk, which is where the cost per label drops

Who it is for

Anyone running a thermal shipping printer.

Why we picked it

The consumable a thermal printer actually runs on; buying the wrong stack is the usual first mistake.

What to check before you buy

  • Direct thermal, not thermal transfer, unless your printer takes a ribbon
  • Fanfold or roll, matching how your printer feeds
  • For a roll, the core size your printer accepts
  • Buy one small pack first and confirm it feeds before buying in bulk
