Print Shipping Labels Without a Printer
Do you need to print a shipping label, but don't have a printer? USPS gives you several options:
- USPS Label Broker® Service: Bring your Label Broker ID (a QR Code®1) to a Post Office™ location that has Label Broker at the counter or a Label Broker self-service kiosk and get it printed, free!
- USPS Label Delivery Service: For a fee, get a shipping label delivered directly to you.
Someone Sent You a Label Broker ID (a QR Code)
You're returning something to a store or sending something to a customer through an ecommerce platform, and they sent you an email or text with a Label Broker ID (a QR Code). Here’s what you do next to create your shipping label:
You DO Have a Printer
You got an email or text with a Label Broker ID (a QR Code), and you can print on your own printer.
- Go to the Label Broker tool.
- Type in the 8-10 character Label Broker ID (under the QR Code) and your ZIP Code™, then hit the "Download Label" button.
- You'll download your prepaid shipping label (a PDF file). Print that label.
- Pack and seal your package, and tape the shipping label to it.
- Drop off your ready-to-ship package at a Post Office location (or schedule a free package pickup).
