As a business owner, you know very well that wasted time is wasted money. One way you can increase your productivity and ship your products with ease, is by printing and using your own mailing labels. It doesn’t matter whether you sell your products on Ebay or your own website, creating and printing your own mailing labels can work perfectly for your small or start-up business. Take a look at some of these advantages of printing your own mailing labels.
Saves Time
By printing your own mailing labels, you save the time you could have wasted at the post office. You will find printing your mail labels extremely helpful especially during the holiday season when it gets very busy. Instead, you can just opt to drop your packages at the front desk of the post office or just place them in the blue mailbox.
You don’t need to use any fancy equipment to print your own mailing labels, all you need is a digital label printer and some clear tape. You can use labels that have adhesive and maybe some with different shapes and colors, but those cost slightly more than printing on simple label papers.
Once you print out your labels you can just cut off the surrounding edges and join with tape. You can buy a small postage scale to help you enter the right item weight on your mail label.
Printing Mailing Labels Is Easy
All the selling platforms usually have a mailing generating system. If you choose PayPal for example, you can simply go to their transaction page and then click on “print shipping labels” and then follow the instructions. You can then charge your postage fee onto your monthly PayPal bill. This process is the same for any other platform you may want to choose. Other options you can use for mail label printing include using the USPS’ Click and ship website, UPS and FedEx.
These platforms work well for international shipping too. Just make sure to carefully follow the instructions, state the date and then sign the label form and then attach it to your package.
It Is Cost Effective
Websites like PayPal, Etsy and the USPS’ Click-N-ship services offer discounts to their customers which is more cost effective than buying mail labels at the post office counter. The rates are fairly competitive as far as discounts are concerned and they still operate through the USPS. When you print your own mailing labels, you save money that you can put into other areas of your business.
When you decide to print your mailing labels, you will realize that accessing the plain paper used in the printing process is readily available and the chances of running out of stock for it are very low. Using regular paper to print your mailing labels allows you to adjust the size of your labels so that they can fit well on your shipping package. To make sure you print quality mailing labels, ensure that you invest in a digital label printer that is cost effective.
