Using KODAK Mailing Labels for Shipping

Quick answer

Print your shipping labels at home using KODAK Mailing Labels on white label paper. These sheets work with most inkjet printers and include easy-to-use software to design and print address labels for any occasion.

How to print and apply KODAK Mailing Labels for shipping

1. Set up your label template: Open the included KODAK software or your preferred word processor. Choose a label size that matches your shipping label requirements (e.g., 2 x 4 inches or full sheet). If using the software, select the KODAK Mailing Labels preset for correct margins. Using the preset avoids misalignment—manually setting margins often leads to off-center prints.
2. Load the label paper into your printer: Fan the stack of KODAK Mailing Labels to prevent sticking, then load one sheet at a time into your inkjet printer's paper tray. Set the paper type to 'Labels' or 'Heavyweight' in your printer settings to avoid jams. Loading more than one sheet increases the risk of a paper jam. Always print one sheet at a time for best results.
3. Print a test on plain paper: Before printing on the label sheet, print your shipping label template on a plain piece of paper. Hold the plain paper over the label sheet to verify alignment. Adjust margins if the text or barcode is cut off. Skipping the test run is the most common mistake—misaligned text can make barcodes unreadable and delay delivery.
4. Print and cut your labels: Once alignment is confirmed, print the label onto the KODAK Mailing Label sheet. Let the ink dry for at least 30 seconds before handling. Use scissors or a paper cutter to separate individual labels. Wet ink smears easily. Wait for the ink to fully dry to avoid ruining the label.
5. Apply the label to your package: Peel the printed label from the backing sheet and apply it to a clean, dry surface of your package. Press firmly from the center outward to remove air bubbles. For added durability on cardboard, cover the label with clear packing tape. Applying tape over the entire label prevents smudging during transit if the package gets wet.
