Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best material for shipping labels?
For most shipping applications, Semi Gloss Chromo with wax ribbon is the best balance of cost and durability. For international shipping or harsh conditions, consider Polyester (PET) with wax-resin ribbon.
Do I need thermal transfer or direct thermal?
Thermal transfer (with ribbon) is recommended for shipping labels as they last longer and resist fading. Direct thermal is suitable only for short-term use (less than 6 months).
What size shipping label should I use?
4" x 6" is the most common size and works with all major courier services (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.). It provides enough space for address, barcode, and tracking information.
How many labels can I print per day?
Desktop printers like Zebra ZD420 handle up to 500 labels/day. For higher volumes (1000+ labels/day), we recommend industrial printers like TSC TE200.
