How do I print packing labels?
Note: EasyRoutes Packing labels are available with any of our paid plans.
Steps:

These packing labels can be further customized to include a number of different variables, or to adjust font sizes, logo placement, and custom messaging included on all printed labels. To configure, access your EasyRoutes Settings > Packing slips and labels tab, and scroll down to the Packing label options section:
You can also customize the wording of any labels for variables that are included in packing labels from the Customizable text section found just below the packing label options shown above.
Troubleshooting Tips
Our packing labels are used for printing in a variety of layouts and sizes. Here are some common scenarios to review:
- Need the font size to be larger or smaller? You can customize the font size of our packing labels and packing slips in our Settings -> Packing Slips and Labels. (e.g. the font size for "Label size" is defaulted to "Medium" and you can try larger values like Large or Larger for 4x6" thermals)
- Double check your paper size. Ensure that you have selected the correct paper size in your printer settings (e.g. 4"x6" paper is selected)
- Test different scale values. Need to enlarge or shrink the label for your printout? Try different 'scale' values that help zoom in or out appropriately for the label that you are trying to print.
- Printing directly in the browser or from a saved PDF can yield different results. Test printing directly from the browser, vs. printing from a PDF to see what works better for your printer/device.
