How to Print a UPS Shipping Label

UPS gives you a shipping label as a 4x6 (thermal) or a letter-size PDF, and the letter version fits a small label into the corner of a full page, wasting paper and shrinking the barcode. PaperReady prints the UPS label at its real 4x6 size on any thermal printer, so it comes out edge to edge and scans.

Printing steps

Create your shipment on ups.com (or your shipping tool) and download or open the label PDF.
Save the label as a PDF, PNG or JPEG. For a marketplace shipment, use the prepaid label supplied by the marketplace; PaperReady does not create postage.
Open Print a label file and choose your file. For a PDF, select the page you need.
If the label occupies part of a larger page, drag around the label to crop it. Rotate if needed, then select the output dimensions (for example 4 × 6 inches). Keep every barcode and its white margin inside the crop.
Check the preview and choose Download PDF. Print on matching paper at 100% / Actual size. For direct printing, choose a printer connected through a supported Print Bridge. Test one label before a larger run.

Choose matching paper dimensions and print at 100% / Actual size. Individual label PDFs and five-label batch proofs work without an account. Complete batches require Pro. Direct printing depends on your printer driver and current platform support. PaperReady does not purchase postage.
