Printing a domestic Click-N-Ship® label

To print a domestic shipping label in 4 easy steps, follow the guidelines below:

  1. Enter the Label Information (Return and Delivery address, Package Details, optional Package Value, and Shipping Date) and proceed to the Select a Service Type section. Domestic labels must include a domestic return address; foreign return addresses are not allowed on domestic mail and packages.

    Use the Batch option if you need to create multiple labels using the same mailpiece weight, service option, and return information. After all the label information has been entered, proceed to the Select Service Type section.
    • Note: The Batch option is not available for the following:
      • USPS Connect™
      • Military Addresses (includes all APO/FPO/DPO addresses)
      • US Territories or Possessions (includes American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands)
      • Freely Associated States (includes Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Palau)
      • International Addresses  
  2. Select the desired Service and any Extra Services for your shipment by clicking on the corresponding radio button and then click the Add to Cart & Start New Label button to create another label or click the Add to Cart button to review your Shipping Cart. 
  3. Review the label information on the Shipping Cart page. Edit any information that is incorrect, choose to create another label, delete the label, add to SCAN Form, or click the Next: Billing Information button to purchase your labels. Select your payment method, enter the required information and click the Next: Pay and Print button.  
  4. From the Payment Confirmation page you can print your label(s) at that time or at a Post Office® location through the Label Broker® feature, save your label(s) as a PDF file, create another label, or schedule a pickup (Package Pickup or Pickup on Demand). Saving your label allows you to print your label later. Labels can also be printed from the Shipping History until 11:59 PM CST of the shipping date.
No access to a printer?
  • Check out the Label Broker® feature with the Click-N-Ship application. You can pay for your shipping label using the Click-N-Ship application and select the “Print Labels Later at the Post Office” option. A QR code will be emailed to you to take to a Post Office™ location with your package. The Retail employee at the Post Office location will scan the code, print the label, affix it to the package and induct it into the system for processing. See the article Label Broker for more information.
  • Alternatively, you can use the USPS Label Delivery service to have labels delivered directly to the door of residential and business customers. Labels are available for Priority Mail Express®, Priority Mail®, USPS Ground Advantage®, and Parcel Select®. See USPS Label Delivery Service for more information or visit https://cnsb.usps.com to get started.

Notes: 
  • It is important that you mail your package on the Shipping Date you selected during the label generation process as an electronic record is automatically created for that label on that specific date. Labels with "stale" Shipping Dates (i.e. mailed after the Shipping Date printed on the label) may be returned to you.
  • If you are a first-time user, you may see a pop-up screen instructing you to install Adobe Reader software. This download must be installed for the label to print. The link to download the latest Adobe Reader version is available on the Payment Confirmation page.
  • With Priority Mail® service and select services, you may receive USPS Tracking® at no additional charge; Signature Confirmation™ may be available at a lower price. Delivery information on your shipment is obtained by accessing your paid online labels from your Shipping History or by using our USPS Tracking® tool at USPS.com®.
  • Labels must be fully placed on the address side of the package and not folded over package edges. Use clear shipping tape to securely affix labels on all four sides. Do not tape over the "Postal Use" area on Priority Mail Express® labels or the barcodes.
  • The Click-N-Ship® Priority Mail Express® label will only print one copy that is attached to the mailpiece.
  • It is recommended that you use United States Postal Service® packaging or stickers when using Click-N-Ship® labels to clearly indicate the type of service you have purchased.

For Priority Mail Express International and Priority Mail International® services, if there are multiple copies of your electronically generated customs form, they must be inserted in the plastic envelope required for online international services. These plastic envelopes, PS 2976-E, Customs Declaration Envelope, the smaller PS 2976-ES, Small Customs Declaration Envelope, and shipping supplies are available free of charge at your local Post Office™ location, from the Packing Supply Center, or online at The Postal Store®.

  • Note: The Packing Supply Center can be reached via phone at 1-800-610-8734, option 1 (Spanish speaking customers, select option 2).

When printing certain labels, including PS Form 2976, an envelope (PS Form 2976-E/ES) is not required. You need only apply the label directly to the package or envelope. Here are examples of products that include PS Form 2976:

  • Certain Priority Mail International® labels
  • First-Class Package International Service® labels
  • Military / US Possessions, Territories, and Freely Associated States (PTFAS) labels

If you are a first-time user, you may see a pop-up screen instructing you to install Adobe Reader software. This download must be installed for the label to print. The link to download the latest Adobe Reader version is available on the Payment Confirmation page.

Printing a "2-Up" label

This feature only applies to labels that do not include a customs form. Check the radio button next to the print option. Print labels without receipt (2 per page) to print two (2) upright (2-Up) labels per piece of paper rather than one (1) label and the receipt.

  • Labels will print as two (2) 4 inch by 6½ inch Click-N-Ship® Domestic labels on one piece of self-adhesive 8½ inches by 11 inches medium paper.  
  • Customers will have access to all of the label information online through the following options:
    • To access the information that would typically be printed on a receipt, customers should review the information provided on the Print Confirmation page (printer friendly option as well), or
    • Select the Shipping History tab on the Click-N-Ship® toolbar to review all of the information regarding all shipments going back as far as six (6) months.

What kind of printer and paper should I use to print Click-N-Ship® labels?

You can use a laser printer or a high quality ink jet printer to print your Click-N-Ship® labels. For ink jet printers, 600 dots-per-inch (DPI) is recommended. Our scanning equipment is not capable of reliably reading labels generated using low quality Inkjet or dot matrix printers.
Note: Only white paper should be used to print your labels, or you can buy self-adhesive labels.

What if I accidentally printed a second (duplicate) label?

Since you were only charged once for postage, you should discard the duplicate label. The postage is linked to the label number, which is unique and can be used only once. The label number will appear in a duplicate postage list in the United States Postal Service® database that is monitored by the Postal Inspection Service. If a customer intentionally uses a duplicate label, they will be liable for fraud.
