Shipping Labels

Your company's mailroom or warehouse is always full of movement and constant activity - parcels being delivered and sent out, envelopes being sorted and distributed, packages being created and unloaded. The keys to successful mailroom operation are speed and efficiency. When your company's mailroom clerk has to handwrite shipping information on every single box or package that's going out, a lot of valuable time and effort are wasted. Keep things running at a fast, uninterrupted pace with shipping labels and mailing labels. For more durable options, consider stocking up on weatherproof shipping labels.

Save Time and Supplies

Handwritten shipping information may appear sloppy and unprofessional to package recipients, but a printed shipping label specifies the contents of each parcel and identifies the originating and destination addresses in a neat, easily readable manner that reflects well on your business. With access to an inkjet printer or a laser printer, plus online templates or software, it's easy to create high-quality mailing labels and shipping labels.The cost of mailing tubes, corrugated shipping boxes and other mailroom supplies can add up, but shipping labels allow you to reuse supplies again and again to help conserve on quarterly costs. Most labels cover up existing copy or marks completely, so it's simple to stick a shipping label over a handwritten message or an old label.

Sizing

Depending on what size packages are being distributed, the required size of each shipping label will change as well. If you're handling oversize boxes, a shipping label that's too small will be hard to spot quickly and may cost wasted moments. Choose appropriately sized shipping labels that can be located in an instant and present information that's easy to read, even from a slight distance.
