What a courier needs on the label
Delivery staff in India sort parcels in a hurry, often by PIN code first and name second. A good label puts the PIN code in large digits, the recipient’s name and a 10-digit mobile number they actually answer, and a full address with a landmark. The courier scans the barcode to log each hand-over, so a clear, unstretched barcode saves a parcel from being keyed in by hand — or sent to the wrong hub.
This maker checks that the PIN has six digits and does not start with 0, and shows which state its first digits belong to. If you type a Bengaluru address with a PIN starting 40, you will see “Maharashtra” and can fix the typo before printing. It does not check that a PIN is serviceable — ask your courier for their pin-code list.
Prepaid or cash on delivery
For COD parcels the amount to collect is printed in a black box at the top, where the delivery agent looks first. Keep the COD amount equal to the invoice total, and print the order number so the courier’s remittance report can be matched to your orders.
Printing on a 4×6 thermal printer
Most small-seller thermal printers (TSC, Zebra and the low-cost 4-inch models) take 4 × 6 inch (100 × 150 mm) labels. Choose “4 × 6 in”, press Print labels, and in the print dialog pick the thermal printer, set the paper size to 4 × 6 or 100 × 150 mm, scale 100%, and turn off headers and footers. On an ordinary printer choose “A4, 4 labels per sheet”, cut along the dashed lines and stick them on with clear tape.
Where to stick the label
- On the largest flat face of the box, away from seams and edges.
- Only one label per parcel — remove or cover old labels and barcodes.
- Do not tape over the barcode with shiny tape; scanners struggle with glare. Tape around it instead.
- Put a copy of the invoice inside the parcel, especially for COD and for parcels crossing state lines.
Many parcels from a spreadsheet
Export your orders as CSV (in Excel: File → Save As → CSV; in Google Sheets: File → Download → CSV), open it in Notepad, copy everything and paste it into “Many (paste CSV)”. The first row can be headings. Up to 200 labels are made at once, four to an A4 sheet or one per thermal label.
Questions
Is this shipping label maker free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no limit beyond 200 labels per batch. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type is uploaded or stored on a server.
Can I print India Post Speed Post labels with this?
You can print the address label and your own barcode. India Post books Speed Post and registered parcels at the counter or through its own portal and gives you the article number; type that number into “AWB / tracking” to print it as a barcode.
Which barcode does it print?
Code 128, the format most couriers and warehouse scanners read. It encodes the AWB number if you enter one, otherwise the order number.
What size is a 4×6 label in mm?
A 4 × 6 inch label is 101.6 × 152.4 mm. Many printers list it as 100 × 150 mm, which also works with this page.
Does it remember my address?
Only if you tick “Remember my return address on this device”. It is then saved in this browser’s local storage, never on a server. Untick the box to forget it.
