Required Labels for Domestic Air

Your domestic shipments using air services require that you use a label printed from an automated shipping system (like UPS.com) or a UPS Air Shipping Document. The ASD combines your address label, tracking label and shipping record into one form. Specific ASDs are available for:

UPS Next Day Air® Early
UPS Next Day Air (can be used for UPS Worldwide ExpressSM)
UPS Next Day Air Saver
UPS 2nd Day Air A.M.®
UPS 2nd Day Air®

You can order ASDs online on the UPS Supplies page and you'll find detailed preparation instructions on the reverse side of each ASD to help you complete the form correctly.
