I had gotten a secondhand thermal label printer when I first started selling, and initially purchased a box of labels as well. After I had bought the blank labels I realized you can get free labels from UPS. No big deal, I figured I would just use them all up and then start using the roll that UPS provides.

Well today was my last label of the ones I bought previously. I went to switch out the roll, and feed the first label until it recognizes where to stop at the perforation, it didn’t want to stop. It just keeps feeding until halfway into the second label.

I had a few extras blank ones from the labels that worked and kinda made a makeshift roll to deduce that it was just the UPS labels that didn’t work. I taped two goods ones, a ups one, and then a good one. To my surprise it recognizes the two first labels and then after seeing the ups label it does the same thing and fed halfway into the last label. I’m thinking it has something to do with the thickness of the UPS label somehow, as it does feel a few mil thicker.

So does anyone here utilize the free UPS thermal label rolls and have a machine that works well with them?

Thanks

I got the roll of free UPS 4x6 thermal labels and tried to use them in my Rollo but kept having issues with it getting stuck printing the lines above the adress section. I looked online for a fix and tried adjusting the density but it still wouldn't print right. I thought maybe somehow they only worked printing out actual UPS labels and not USPS, so I tried printing my FBA shipment labels and still had the same issue. I ended up re-ordering the previous labels I was using from Amazon and the printer prints those just fine. Is there some setting or something I'm missing to be able to use the UPS labels?

Hey all,

just a brief question! Struggling to find the answer anywhere. I know USPS/UPS gives out free boxes, but do they give out shipping label paper for printers for free also? I purchased a thermal printer on amazon the other day to speed up the process, but not sure where I should be getting the actua; thermal printer paper for the labels

Thanks all
