To ensure your shipping labels print correctly in 4x6 format on a thermal label printer, follow these steps in Shippo:

1. Log in to Shippo

Go to Shippo’s website and sign in to your account.

2. Navigate to Label Settings

  • Click on "Settings" in the top menu.

  • Select "Labels & packing slips" from the dropdown.

3. Adjust the Default Label Format

  • Under "Print perferences," click the dropdown menu.

  • Choose "4x6 in PDF" (this is the standard thermal label size).

  • Click "Save" to apply the changes.

Important Notes:

  • This setting only applies to new labels created after the change.

  • For best results, use thermal label paper (4x6 inches) .

Hot tip: 

If you're using an iPhone with Shippo, go to "Save Label" and scroll down—you’ll see the "Print with FlashLabel Pro" option (see screenshot). You can print directly from here, no need to save PDFs or images first.
