Frequently asked questions about shipping labels
What is a shipping label?
A shipping label is used to identify, sort and transport a parcel, pallet or other freight. It usually contains the recipient’s and sender’s addresses, a barcode, a tracking number and other information the carrier needs to handle the shipment throughout the supply chain. A clear, correctly printed shipping label helps ensure that barcodes and other information can be read by the carrier’s sorting and scanning systems.
What is the difference between a shipping label and a transport label?
The terms shipping label and transport label are often used interchangeably. Both describe labels used in transport and distribution. Shipping labels are commonly associated with parcels and e-commerce, while transport labels is a broader term that can also cover labels for pallets, freight and other shipments.
What size is a shipping label?
Shipping and transport labels come in several common sizes. The size you need depends on your carrier’s shipping system, the type of shipment and your label printer. Common sizes include 100 × 150 mm, 102 × 150 mm, 102 × 192 mm, 105 × 220 mm and 105 × 251 mm.
- 100 × 150 mm is a common, compact size used for many types of parcels and shipping services, and is compatible with several carriers.
- 102 × 150 mm is a common size, similar to A6, for thermal label printers. It is used for applications including PostNord shipping labels.
- 102 × 192 mm is used for transport labels across several shipping systems and is available for PostNord, DHL and other carriers.
- 105 × 220 mm is a longer transport label format used for carriers including DHL and DSV.
- 105 × 251 mm is an even longer format used for carriers including PostNord and DB Schenker. It is also available with a separate receipt section.
Choosing the right size involves more than checking the carrier. You should also check the label format generated by your shipping system and the dimensions supported by your label printer.
What is a direct thermal shipping label?
A direct thermal shipping label is made from a heat-sensitive material that darkens when exposed to heat from the printhead. Printing takes place directly on the label, so no ribbon is normally needed. Direct thermal labels are widely used in shipping, transport and logistics because they are easy to print and work with many commonly used thermal label printers.
Can I print shipping labels with a standard printer?
Yes. Shipping labels are available on sheets for use with laser printers. For businesses printing large numbers of shipping labels, a thermal label printer is often a more efficient option. It is designed for continuous label printing and, when using direct thermal technology, prints onto heat-sensitive material without toner or ink.
Which shipping label is right for my label printer?
This depends on the printer model, label size, roll width and core diameter, as well as how the printer detects the beginning and end of each label. Always check your printer’s specifications before ordering. For thermal printers, you also need to choose the correct printing method – direct thermal or thermal transfer – and a material suited to your printer.
Where can I buy shipping labels?
You can order standard shipping and transport labels directly from Fraktetiketter.se, Nordvalls’ own webshop. You will find a range of sizes and formats for thermal label printers and commonly used shipping and transport systems.
If you need a size, material or format beyond the standard webshop range, Nordvalls can develop a tailored solution. We can adapt the label’s dimensions, material and adhesive to suit your printer, shipping system and intended use.
