Despatch & fulfilment
Thermal shipping labels
Thermal shipping labels print your courier and Royal Mail labels cleanly and fast. Direct thermal labels (no ribbon) are the standard for despatch — they're quick, low-cost and ideal for labels used within days.
For labels that need to last — product, asset or cold-store labelling — thermal transfer with a ribbon gives a durable print. Common despatch sizes like 4x6 (100 × 150mm) are the workhorse for online sellers.

Common buyer questions
What packaging do I need for ecommerce orders?
A box or mailing bag sized to the product, void fill or bubble wrap so nothing moves, plus tape and a courier label. Right-sizing keeps postage and damage down.
Which boxes fit Royal Mail Large Letter?
Boxes within 353 × 250 × 25mm post as a Large Letter. Our PiP postal boxes are cut to sit inside those limits so you pay the cheaper rate.
Poly or paper mailing bags — which should I use?
Poly mailers are waterproof, lightest and cheapest; paper mailers are kerbside recyclable with a premium feel but less water resistance.
What's the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer labels?
Direct thermal prints with heat alone (no ribbon) and can fade; thermal transfer uses a ribbon for a durable, long-lasting print.
