Printing shipping labels with a standard A4 printer
If you don’t have a thermal label printer or prefer to use the documents enclosed pouch, you can print your UPS shipping labels on a regular A4 ink-jet printer.
When printing in A4 format, half of the page will be the label and the other half will be the instructions. This is the format we are provided by UPS and are unable to remove these instructions.
