Frequently Asked Questions About UPS Shipping Labels
What size label does the UPS WorldShip software require?
The global standard for the UPS WorldShip software and online shipping portals is the 4 x 6 inch format. In Europe, this corresponds to our rolls in the format 102 x 150 mm. If you output your labels via a wide-format Dymo desktop printer, the correct match is the 104 x 159 mm (S0904980) model. Both dimensions provide the necessary space to integrate the barcode and the mandatory MaxiCode.
Can I print UPS shipping labels on standard A4 printer sheets?
Yes, if you process a small volume of packages daily, you can export your labels as a PDF file to print them on a traditional office laser printer. For the standard A6 layout, opt for our A4 sheet labels in 210 x 99 mm (3 stickers per page). This provides an excellent, professional solution that fits the PDF parameters perfectly without wasting paper or relying on loose cut-out sheets.
Why is premium Thermo-Top quality essential for UPS labels?
UPS utilizes high-density barcodes and the famous MaxiCode for its automated sorting process. These codes feature extremely fine line and dot structures. With low-grade eco-thermal paper, the friction between packages generates black heat streaks that render these codes unreadable for the scanners in the air hubs. Our premium Thermo-Top coating completely neutralizes this sensitivity to friction and shields the substrate against high humidity and condensation.
