Create and Print Shipping Labels

With UPS, you can prepare shipping labels for domestic and international shipments from the convenience of any device connected to the internet.

UPS Thermal Printers

Thermal printers are a type of printer that use heat transfer to print in black and white - but they can only print shipping labels. We have tips on how to use thermal printers.
