Select Your Label Template

Choose and configure the right label template in Postsale for your thermal printer, laser printer, or roll labels so every shipment prints correctly.

Updated January 12, 20261 min readShipping

Whether you're printing labels to a 4" x 6" thermal printer, letter postage to 2" x 1.5" roll labels, or sending your labels to a laser printer so that a label and packing slip together on a single 8.5" x 11" sheet, selecting the correct label template lets Postsale know how to format your shipping labels.

You can also let Postsale know if you would like to print an additional document, such as a packing slip, at the same time as the shipping label

Real-World Example

We print 4" x 6" shipping labels to a thermal printer. We also include a 4" x 6" packing slip in each package. So, we would like to set up Postsale so that the shipping labels and packing slips are formatted correctly for our printer and to automatically print an packing slip when the shipping labels are printed. 

Let's use the example above to configure Postsale:

  1. Go to Settings.

    Settings button in the Postsale navigation bar
     

  2. Select Account Settings.

    Account Settings option highlighted in the Settings menu

  3. Select Printing.

    Printing is selected in the Account Settings menu.

Select the Label Template

Select the correct template from the drop-down menu. The template you select will specify the label size and orientation of the printed shipping label.

For example: Since our Real-World Example specifies that the labels should be printed to a 4" x 6" thermal printer, we will select the Label 4 x 6 (Tall) template so that our labels will be the correct size for our thermal printer and formatted vertically (portrait orientation).

The template drop-down is expanded and a template is being selected.

Be sure to select the correct template for your printing needs.

Include with Every Shipment

Optionally, you can specify that you wish for an additional template, such as a packing slip, to be printed at the same time as the shipping label and select the correct packing slip template for the size you wish to print.

You can select from:

  • Packing Slip 4" x 6"
  • Packing Slip 8.5: x 11"
  1. Check Include the following with every shipment.

    Include the following with every shipment checkbox enabled
     

  2. Select the template you wish to print along with the shipping label.

Printing

Now, when you print your shipping labels, the correct template will be used to format the label for your printer. If you opted to include an additional document with each shipment, it will be printed automatically at the same time as your labels.
