Packing and Shipping Labels

Packing and shipping labels – whether an address label or a bold sticker that declares an item breakable –are often overlooked when you are planning on shipping a package. However, having the right supplies can make shipping products of any shape and size quite easy. Whether you are shipping Christmas presents to your relatives or are a company shipping out your products, having the right packing and shipping labels makes your job easier. These can be much more than just an address label, and VP Supplies can print whatever you need.

Some of our customers call VP Supplies “the only place for labels.” We have hundreds of labels to meet all your packing, shipping, and identification needs you may have, and we print custom labels and messages for you.

Basic Shipping Labels
Basic labels can come in all shapes and sizes, from small ¾” high return address labels for postcards to large half-sheet self-adhesive labels helpful for large packages. These can be a cost-effective and easy way to print your own labels. From return addresses to mailing addresses, using basic shipping labels is simple and cost-effective.

Laser Printable Labels
If you use a laser printer for your barcode labels, you’ll need a source of labels. These labels come pre-configured on a sheet and are easy to peel. Once you print the label you simply peel it off and stick it to your box. These laser printable labels are effective because they can include all the information the post office needs: address, return address, postage, and barcode.

Inventory Labels
If you need to get organized, inventory labels are helpful and can save you a great deal of time and money. Inventory labels can have a day, use-by date, month, or just be color coded. From removable stickers to labels that you can write on, stocking up on inventory labels can help you create systems in your workplace and home that work for you. Inventory labels are a very cost effective way to take stock of your products.

Shipping and Handling
Rather than writing “fragile” on a box with a marker, how about using a sticker? Shipping and Handling labels are a bold, inexpensive, and effective way to mark your boxes clearly. Mark your boxes with labels that say “heavy,” “refrigerate upon arrival,” and other important information. Shipping and Handling labels typically are brightly colored and use bold text and image icons in order to make sure they are seen by package handlers and the person who receives the product. 

VP Supplies has a nearly endless supply of labels. Magnetic labels, adhesive labels, even labels for CD’s – they can be custom printed to your specifications. Labels shouldn’t be an afterthought. They can save you time and money by making shipping your products easier, clearly marking them, and assuring that everything you ship is professional and easy to read.
