Parcel details

The Code 128 barcode contains the tracking number, or the order ID if the tracking number is empty. Leave a field empty to remove it from the label.

The labels are black and white, so the logo prints in greyscale.

This tool makes an address label. It does not buy postage. Pay for postage with your carrier or at the post office.

Make a label for every order in your shop with the Bannerbear PDF API.

How It Works

100% Private, your addresses never leave your browser. The label is drawn on your device, and the PNG and PDF files are made there too. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.

  • 🔒 100% privacy friendly
  • 🆓 100% free to use
  • ✅ No signup required
  • 👌 Zero watermarks
  • 💻 Files stay on your computer

This tool draws the label on an HTML canvas, encodes the barcode with JsBarcode and writes the PDF with jsPDF, all inside your browser. The label is 4 × 6 inches at 300 dpi (1200 × 1800 pixels), and each bar of the Code 128 barcode is a whole number of pixels, so the bars stay sharp in print.

There is no large download. The fonts and the barcode library (about 28 KB) load with the page, and the PDF library (about 420 KB) loads the first time you click Download PDF. You can make as many labels as you like.

Want to make a label for every order automatically at scale? The Bannerbear API automates it for you. Connect it to your shop or no‑code workflow and generate a label for each new order.

What Is a Shipping Label Maker?

A shipping label maker turns the sender and recipient addresses into a label that you stick on a parcel. This tool makes the address label, with a barcode and the parcel details. It does not buy postage, and it does not make a carrier label.

Use it when you pay for postage at the post office counter, when you send parcels with a local courier, or when you deliver orders yourself. You can also use it for boxes that go to a warehouse or to a wholesale customer.

The tool has four designs. All of them are black and white, so they print on a black‑only thermal label printer as well as on an office printer:

  • Classic: a box for each part, with the service in a black band and the handling note in a black box.
  • Brand: your logo large at the top, with rounded black bars for the service and the order.
  • Minimal: no boxes, thin rules and a very large recipient name.
  • Bold: a thick frame and a large black banner for the handling note, for example FRAGILE.

None of the designs has a carrier logo. Each label has the sender, the recipient, a Code 128 barcode, the order ID, the weight, the service and a handling note. Leave a field empty to remove it from the label.

How to Make a Shipping Label

You can make a label in less than a minute. You do not need to install software or make an account.

  1. Click a design: Classic, Brand, Minimal or Bold.
  2. Type your shop name and address in From, and the name and address of your customer in Ship to. Put each address line on a new line. The preview changes as you type.
  3. Type the order ID, the weight, the service (for example Standard or Express) and a handling note (for example Fragile or This Side Up).
  4. Type the tracking number, if you have one. The barcode contains the tracking number, or the order ID if the tracking number is empty.
  5. Click Add a logo to put your shop logo on the label.
  6. Select 4 x 6 in label or US Letter, cut marks, then click Download PDF. Or click Download PNG for an image file.

Scan the barcode on the preview with your phone before you print the label.

Label Size, Printing and the Barcode

These are the sizes and limits of the labels that the tool makes.

Value
Label size4 × 6 in (102 × 152 mm)
Resolution300 dpi (1200 × 1800 px)
DownloadsPNG, a 4 × 6 in PDF, or a US Letter PDF with the label and cut marks
BarcodeCode 128, up to 18 letters or 34 digits, with bars at least 0.33 mm wide
ColoursBlack and white. The logo prints in greyscale
MarginNothing prints in the outer 1/6 in (4 mm) of the label
  • Print at actual size: in the print window, select Actual size or 100%, not Fit to page. The PDF also asks the PDF viewer to print without scaling.
  • Thermal label printer: use the 4 x 6 in PDF, and select the 4 x 6 in label size in the printer settings.
  • Office printer: use the US Letter PDF. Cut on the marks, then attach the label to the parcel with clear tape.
  • The barcode is for you: scan it when you pack an order or check a return. It does not replace the label from your carrier.
  • Short text makes wider bars: a short order ID gives wider bars, which are easier to scan.

Shipping Label Questions

The common questions about making shipping labels, and their answers

Is the shipping label maker free?

Yes. The tool is free, with no watermark, no sign up and no daily limit. You can download as many labels as you like.

Does this tool buy postage?

No. The tool makes an address label. It does not buy postage, and the label is not a carrier label. Pay for postage with your carrier, online or at the post office, and follow the rules of your carrier for the parcel.

Do you upload my addresses?

No. The label, the barcode, the PNG and the PDF are made in your browser. The addresses and your logo stay on your device.

What size is the label?

The label is 4 × 6 inches (102 × 152 mm). The PNG is 1200 × 1800 pixels, which is 300 dpi at that size. The US Letter PDF has the label at the top of the page, with cut marks.

How do I print the label on a thermal label printer?

Download the PDF with 4 x 6 in label selected. In the print window, select the 4 x 6 in label size and print at 100% (Actual size). The designs are black and white, so they suit a printer that prints only black.

What does the barcode contain?

A Code 128 barcode of the tracking number. If the tracking number is empty, the barcode contains the order ID. Code 128 accepts the letters A to Z, numbers, spaces and keyboard symbols. The text can have up to 18 letters, or up to 34 digits, so that each bar is at least 0.33 mm wide. If the text is too long, the tool tells you.

Can a phone scan the barcode?

Yes. The bars are black on white, with a white quiet zone, at 300 dpi. We tested the PNG and the PDF with two barcode readers. Always scan your own label before you print it.

Can I put the tracking number from my carrier on the label?

Yes. Type it in the tracking number field, and the barcode contains it. But this label does not replace the label from your carrier. Your carrier scans its own postage label.

Can I make shipping labels automatically?

Yes. The Bannerbear PDF API makes a label for each order from one template. Read how to create and print shipping labels automatically.
