Print shipping labels without wasting stock
The actual question people ask
Etsy and UPS Store threads complain about a blank 4×6 between every job. That is length/gap or quantity, not “cheap labels.” Match 4×6, calibrate, quantity 1 test, then print the rest. Open the free maker · label maker hub.
Steps that match the query
- Artboard 4.00 × 6.00 in for 4×6 rolls
- Calibrate after a new stack of fanfold
- Never scale a postage PDF to fit Letter
- Quantity 1 until the first peel looks right
Fanfold vs roll
Fanfold 4×6 still needs gap or mark sense. A roll setting on fanfold wastes a label every tear.
Batch from Excel or Google Sheets
Map column tokens into text, barcodes, or QR. Paste CSV, upload a file, or load a published Google Sheet. Preview rows, then print quantity 1 before the stack. Guide: mail merge · CSV mail merge.
Print or export
Zebra thermal: Browser Print at the printer’s DPI. Everyone else: Options → PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. JSON saves the editable master.
