Staff

Shipping label printers have come a long way. For individuals and small businesses in need of reliable, easy to manage and print shipping labels, picking the right printer is an important job. We’ve rounded up a range of options for you, but before diving in, think about the size of your operation, and the types of labels you will realistically need to fulfill its unique requirements.

What to Consider

Shipping label printers vary considerably in terms of price, quality and the kind of volume they can take on. Prices and ease of use also vary, so keep your budget and specific scale and speed needs in mind when making your selection. For individuals and smaller businesses, monochrome or one-color label printers may suffice, while larger businesses may require color labels. You also need to consider whether the printer needs to be able to handle different types of labels (paper, plastic, etc.) in different sizes, and what kind of connection you need (USB, Bluetooth, etc.).

How We Selected

We reviewed hundreds of options, and sorted through both professional critics’ and consumers’ assessments of these specialized printers. We put together a list of shipping label options that will suit a range of individual and business needs, at multiple price points. We only included shipping labels made by companies with excellent customer service and top reviews.
