I would like to make a suggestion that ShipStation work really hard to make a 4 x 6.25 option, and/or the 4 x 8 option available. UPS is a very large carrier for you not to support it's label sizes that work with the Zebra 450 printer. For those of us who use UPS, we get our shipping labels free of charge, so purchasing the 4 x 6 labels is not a viable option. It seems only logical that you would work to accomodate UPS customers, a huge market. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS! Right now I have to manually pull out the label a fraction of an inch every time two labels have been printed or the remaining labels print off the edge. It's really a pain. Thanks for listening!

Please add the option for us to print USPS labels on 4-label sheets. This allows for less waste when throwing away the back page because we can get 4 labels per sheet instead of two. It also saves on printer ink.

Yes! It's an added expense for us to keep buying 1/2 sheets.

Yes! Please set up 4"x5" labels, 4 to a sheet. This is a very effective way to print and ship packages.

Thank you for reviewing this request ShipStation! We REALLY want to use this feature using the Stamps.com SDC-4650 labels. Here is a url to the info page: https://goo.gl/7pCTEg There is also a pdf template on this page. These labels are available from buyrightlabels.com as item number BRL522 (http://www.buyrightlabels.com/Products/BRL522) These labels are fantastic and would be a huge improvement to our ShipStation user experience. Hope to see this label template added soon!

Has there been any progress on this issue? Could you please add the option for 4 per sheet. We can buy labels 4 per sheet in many formats so you can choose the option that is best for you. The cost to keep printing labels 2 per sheet when you are shipping a few thousand orders a week it would be a huge time and cost saver to print 4 per sheet. This is also a standard option for many other shipping solutions.Here are some standard formats label formats: http://www.onlinelabels.com/OL5950.htm?src=dlc-44 http://www.onlinelabels.com/OL959.htm?src=dlc-44

Really hoping this finally comes to fruition! The time we spend cutting down the half sheet labels so they'll fit on our smaller boxes is exorbitant and completely unnecessary. Not to mention the excessive cost! Please step up shipstation.

Please!!! SDC-4650.

Please do the same or better than USPS.com and allow an option to print four labels to a page. Printing one or 2 labels to a page forces companies into unnecessary expense and waste. This is not efficient for us.

Printing on 1/2 sheet labels is continuing to be a significant frustration for us. Hope to see the 4"x5" label template (4 labels per sheet) soon!

Yes! I'd love this feature. It would assist with the Australia Post Beta too as Aus Post provides free labels for its customers. The labels are 4 to a page and are identical to this format: http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/avery-laser-shipping-labels-white-100-sheets-4-per-page-av959030?searchTerm=address%20labels I would suggest just having an option for when the Label pdf renders that says: Print: 1 to a page (for Dymo) 2 to a page 4 to a page

I switched to ship station from stamps.com, and was unpleasantly surprised that i can not continue to use my Stamps.com SDC-4650 labels. Here is a url to the info page: https://goo.gl/7pCTEg

  • February 26, 2016
We were also VERY surprised to see that the SDC-4650 label was not a print option in ShipStation. Please add this very soon! This is a very cost effective and convenient shipping label for many of us.

Why has this not been progressed yet? IT's a needed function

  • August 3, 2016
No updates?

  • November 9, 2016
We agree! First time swtiching over to shipstation just to realize we need to buy new labels-we are going back to using stamps.com.

I would love a 4 label option. We use stamps.com to do this. I hope it's not too hard to implement!

Add an option to print on 4"x8" thermal label.

  • June 21, 2017
I am voting for 4 labels as well for the following reasons. 1. Australia Post provides us with free 4 up labels, where I had to pay $71.00 for 2 labels and sending 1,000 parcels a year, it adds to the cost. 2. Using less paper is better for the environment. 3. Such big labels don't look good on small boxes, pretty ugly actually. 4. Big labels always have bubbles which also don't look good, even thought smoothed them down, the pockets of air still show up.

I would like to see support added for this as well.

We now have to look for a new shipping platform - used shipstation for years. However we are going to start shipping using ups surepost and am told we need to be able to print a 4" x 8" label - our rep. told us shipwire. Frankly, I am stunned that shipstation does not have this option to do so? I've always thought of shipstation as the leader in it's field. Now we start the search since we need to be able to use 4" x 8" labels with our thermal printers and shipping surepost will save us $70.00 plus per month. I still can't understand why since this will become a standard label size for businesses wanting to ship ups surepost. If anyone can explain to me why? It's not like we're looking to ship with some unknown shipping service.

  • August 15, 2017
4" x 8" labels are required by ups for ups surepost. We're starting to ship using surepost and now need to find a new company versus shipstation who we have used for years. I'm still dazed that shipstation does not have this as an option. Our ups rep told me shipwire to look into.

  • August 28, 2017
Please have label message support for UPS Surepost so that order numbers can be on shipping labels. It would make a world of a difference!

  • September 27, 2017
C'mon guys, time to add more robust printing options or at least a stamps.com api

You can drag and drop onto the 4 label if that works. Might be a lot if you have big volume.

Yes, 4 labels to 1 page option would be wonderful...we use these (see link) and they work great for our mass mailings! https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-3846/Laser-Labels/Uline-Laser-Labels-White-4-x-5?FromOrderHistory=Y
