Printing Shopify Shipping labels

This page was printed on Feb 05, 2023. For the current version, visit https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shipping/shopify-shipping/shipping-labels/printing-labels-and-customs-forms.

You can print your shipping labels, customs forms, and packing slips in the following ways:

  • individually or in bulk when you're buying shipping labels
  • individually or in bulk from the Shipping labels page at any time after you purchase your labels
  • individually from an order's page

You can print your shipping documents separately or you can combine and resize them to fit on your selected printing paper format.

To print your shipping documents, you need to use a desktop printer or a Shopify-supported label printer.

If you want to make changes to your shipping labels, then you need to void them. For more information refer to Changing and voiding Shopify Shipping labels

Printing shipping labels with customs forms and packing slips

You can print your shipping labels together with your customs forms and packing slips. Your shipping documents are combined and resized to fit your selected printing paper format.

For example, if you print your shipping label with a packing slip using an A4 printing format, then the packing slip is resized to fit on the same page as the shipping label.

You can select one of the following paper formats to print your shipping documents:

  • Thermal (4 x 6 inch / 100 x 150 mm / A6) for label printers
  • Letter (8.5 x 11 inch / 216 x 279 mm) for desktop printers
  • A4 (8.3 x 11.7 inch / 210 x 297 mm) for desktop printers

Review the following example of a shipping label printed with a packing slip on a letter paper format.

After you buy your shipping labels, you can print them individually or in bulk at any time from the Shipping labels page. You can also reprint shipping labels.
