Select Your Label Template

Select the template to use for printing labels | Print a packing slip with your labels

Updated October 24, 20261 min readShip your orders

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

Let's use the example above to configure Postsale:

  1. Go to Settings.

    Settings is highlighted in the header.
  2. Select Account Settings.

    Account Settings is highlighted in the profile menu.
  1. Select Printing.

    Printing is highlighted in the Account Settings menu.

Select the Label Template

Select the correct label template from the list. 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 on a 4" x 6" thermal printer, we will select the Label 4 x 6 (tall) template so that our labels are the correct size for our thermal printer and formatted vertically (portrait orientation).

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

Label 4 x 6 (tall) is selected and Print Sample is highlighted on the Shipping Label tab of Printing, with its sample label preview.

If you don't need an extra document, click Save Changes now.

Extra Document

Optionally, you can specify that you want an additional template, such as an invoice or packing slip, printed at the same time as the shipping label.

  1. Select Extra Document.

    Extra Document is highlighted on the Printing page.
  2. Check Print an extra document with every shipment.

    Print an extra document with every shipment is checked on the Printing page.
  3. Open the Invoices folder and select the template you want to print with the label (for our example, Packing Slip 4 x 6).

    Packing Slip 4 x 6 is selected and Print Sample is highlighted on the Extra Document tab of Printing, with its sample preview.
  4. Click Save Changes.

    Save Changes is highlighted on the Printing page.

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.
