Shipping labels 100 x 150 mm (A6) for desktop label printer

Shipping labels with a size of 100 x 150 mm, also called A6 format, are the most used labels for sending parcels. Almost all parcel services work with this format of labels for printing transport data.

Also for most pallet shipments, A6 format labels are printed with address details and barcodes. To make the data legible and to minimize the wear of the print heads, a good thermal paper is needed. These shipping labels from Diamondlabels are of optimum quality, which guarantees a long life of the printhead of the printer.

Shipping label printer

Obviously, a good label printer is needed to print shipping labels. Businesslabels recommends using the Godex DT4x thermal label printer for this. This very reliable label printer is very suitable to function as a shipping label printer and offers many standard extras. Printing shipping labels with a shipping label printer offers many advantages such as no waste of unused labels on an A4 sheet and lower costs because no ink is required. Compared to printing with a Dymo, a standard label printer such as a Godex DT4x or a Zebra ZD420 is more expensive to purchase but much cheaper to use (Dymo labels can be up to 10x are more expensive).
When a desktop label printer is no longer satisfactory because the average number of shipping labels per day exceeds 100, Businesslabels advises to consider a second desktop label printer or to opt for a Godex ZX420i mid-range label printer. This larger label printer comes with larger label rolls (A6 shipping labels on 76mm core ), which means that less need to change rolls.

Starter packs

Businesslabels also offers complete starter packages especially for printing shipping labels. For printing A6 shipping labels, Businesslabels offers 3 different starter packages, a standard package with 4 label rolls and an XL with a complete box of 16 rolls with shipping labels in combination with a desktop Godex DT4x label printer. In addition, Business labels for the large consumers offer a 3rd starter package with a larger shipping label printer, the Godex ZX420i.
