Product Overview
Shipping labels are the small component that makes the whole despatch work, carrying the address, barcode and carrier data every scanner and sorter relies on. Packlic supplies self-adhesive shipping labels in the industry-standard 4×6 format and bespoke sizes, on rolls for label printers or sheets for desktop laser and inkjet. Direct thermal and thermal transfer facestocks give razor-sharp, smudge-proof barcodes that scan first time on the belt, while permanent acrylic adhesive grips cardboard, poly mailers and shrink film without lifting in cold or damp transit. Choose blank stock for on-demand printing or pre-printed labels carrying your logo, return address and handling notes, so every parcel leaves looking professional and reaches the right door.

Build specification
We match the material to the job, drawing on six grades of board: Kraft, Corrugated, Coated Art Board (C1S), Rigid Greyboard, Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS), and Metallic. Together they span the whole range, kraft for eco-minded artisan brands, heavy greyboard for luxury rigid boxes, and bright SBS for cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and high-end retail packaging. A small business chasing affordable corrugated mailers and a premium label after the weighty snap of a magnetic-closure box draw from the same FSC-certified supply, chosen to look right on shelf, survive transit, and impress at the moment of unboxing.
Finish is the detail customers feel, so we cover every option: soft-touch matte lamination, high-gloss lamination, silk lamination, spot UV coating, gold and silver foil stamping, embossing, debossing, and aqueous coating. Spot UV sets a glossy highlight against matte to steer the eye to your logo; soft-touch lamination gives rigid boxes a velvety surface that says premium before the box is opened. On SBS or coated art paper, foil stamping produces the crisp metallic accents that luxury cosmetic, fragrance, and gifting brands count on to back up their pricing and spark the kind of unboxing people share online.
Paper weight shapes two things at once: how the box sits in the hand and how it fares in transit. We run the whole scale from lightweight 8pt to heavyweight 28pt, using the point system common to US and UK suppliers. For folding cartons and high-volume retail boxes, 8pt–12pt does the job; for most product packaging, 14pt–18pt is the dependable workhorse, strong enough to protect, light enough to keep shipping costs down. And 20pt–28pt brings the rigid, substantial feel that luxury gift boxes, rigid set-up boxes, and premium cosmetic packaging rely on, where the box's weight signals quality before the lid is lifted.
Custom Shipping Labels for Fast, Reliable Despatch
A parcel is only as good as the label that routes it. Packlic manufactures self-adhesive shipping labels engineered for warehouse throughput and courier scanning, so barcodes read first time, addresses stay legible and nothing peels away between your packing bench and the customer.
What a Shipping Label Has to Do
A shipping label carries the destination address, the carrier barcode or QR code, tracking references and any handling instructions, all crammed onto a surface only a few inches across. It has to print crisply, adhere reliably to an awkward substrate, survive rain, chilled stores and rough sorting, and stay scannable when a machine reads it at speed. Get any one of those wrong and parcels are misrouted, delayed or bounced back to sender, so the humble label quietly underpins the accuracy and cost of your entire fulfilment operation without ever getting the credit. A single unreadable barcode can pull a parcel off the automated line and into slow manual exception handling, where the labour cost of one bad print dwarfs the price of the label many times over.
Facestocks and Print Methods
We match the label to your printer and its working environment. Direct thermal stock needs no ink or ribbon and is ideal for high-volume ecommerce despatch, burning sharp black barcodes on demand, though it suits shorter storage because the image gradually fades with heat and light. Thermal transfer uses a ribbon for a durable, long-life image that shrugs off abrasion and cold. For office fulfilment we also supply laser and inkjet sheet labels. Semi-gloss and matte paper covers most parcels, while synthetic films withstand moisture, oils and freezer conditions where paper would pulp and lift. If your labels pass through a chilled or frozen supply chain, or sit in a damp yard awaiting collection, the facestock choice is what keeps the address readable rather than a smeared, peeling mess by the time it reaches the driver.
Sizes, Rolls and Sheet Formats
Format follows your equipment and volume, so we stock the common options and cut bespoke sizes on request.
- Standard 4x6 inch for thermal label printers and courier systems
- Rolls wound in or out with core sizes for desktop and industrial printers
- A4 and letter sheets, one to many up, for laser and inkjet runs
- Custom die-cut shapes for returns, address and content labels
Adhesion That Holds in Transit
Adhesion is exactly where cheap labels let you down.
- Permanent acrylic adhesive bonds fast to card, film and painted surfaces
- Holds firm through damp, cold and repeated temperature swings
- Resists corner lift and peel inside busy sorting cages
- Removable adhesive option for returns and promotional flashes
The right bond means no lost barcodes, no orphaned parcels and no manual re-labelling further down the line, which is where the real hidden cost of a poor label always quietly shows up on the wage bill.
Branding, Barcodes and Variable Data
Labels are a branding touchpoint as much as a functional one. Pre-print your logo, return address, social handles or fragile and this-way-up icons in full-colour CMYK, leaving a clear zone for the variable address and barcode block your printer adds. We support sequential barcodes, QR codes and variable data printing across batch runs, and can colour-code labels by carrier, warehouse zone or product line so pickers sort faster and make fewer routing mistakes on a busy shift. Integrated labels that combine a despatch note and a peel-off address panel on one sheet are available too, cutting the number of separate parts your team handles per order and keeping the packing station tidy.
Sustainability and Ordering
We offer recycled-content paper facestocks and FSC-certified stock, plus liner recycling programmes that keep silicone backing paper out of landfill. Water-based adhesives and paper labels stay compatible with kerbside cardboard recycling on many parcels, so the whole pack can be disposed of together. Tell us your printer model, label size, roll or sheet preference and any artwork, and we will supply a spec and proof before your run.
Packlic supplies custom shipping labels wholesale across the USA, UK and Europe, with a low MOQ from 100 units and fast turnaround so your despatch bench never runs short of label stock.

FAQs
01 What size are your shipping labels?
The industry-standard 4x6 inch is our core size for thermal printers and courier systems, and we die-cut bespoke sizes and shapes for address, returns and content labels on request.
02 Do you supply labels on rolls or sheets?
Both. We wind rolls in or out with core sizes to match desktop and industrial thermal printers, and supply A4 or letter sheets, one to many up, for laser and inkjet.
03 Should I choose direct thermal or thermal transfer?
Direct thermal needs no ink and suits high-volume on-demand despatch, while thermal transfer uses a ribbon for a durable, long-life image that resists abrasion, cold and fading.
04 Will the labels stick to poly mailers and cold parcels?
Yes. Our permanent acrylic adhesive bonds fast to card, poly mailers, shrink film and painted surfaces and keeps holding through damp, cold and temperature swings.
05 Can labels be pre-printed with our branding and barcodes?
They can. Pre-print your logo, return address and handling icons in full-colour CMYK, with a clear zone for variable address and barcode data, including sequential and QR codes.
06 What is the minimum order for custom shipping labels?
MOQ starts at 100 units with fast turnaround, and we confirm a spec and proof matched to your printer model before the run so scanning is reliable.
