Can you just print a label on plain paper and clear box tape it?

Yes. That’s all in your printer. I did it for a couple years before I bought sticky labels

Thanks Kevin!!!

Where do you buy sticky labels from.

Where do you buy sticky labels from.

I get them from eBay. Half sheet labels. When 1 gets printed off, I have to peel the label off and turn the sheet around and stick it back in on top for the next one

I print all my shipping labels on standard paper and tape them on. Years ago when I was shipping with DHL I used the labels they provided. They were horrible quality. I had one fall off a box that had a Pioneer P62 in it. It was lost in shipping because of it. Since I never give up chasing down dumshet excuses like that after many calls and weeks dealing with DHL they located the saw in Ohio.

I print labels with Pirate Ship several times a week with a cheap printer on cheap paper. I use good tape and tape them well.

Get a little thermal printer, no ink! They work great and 3000 cout labels is like a life time supply. Its worked well for me so far and it takes up like a six-packs worth of desk space.

Are they wireless? Like WiFi or Bluetooth to print from a phone?

The round one is…

Some are, most are just USB. Obviously the wireless is more money and u need a Bluetooth connection to you computer. When I got it there was no smart phone printable option. Now there is but it’s like $175 for a good one.

If you search “smart phone thermal label printer” or “wireless thermal label printer” you’ll get a hit. I’d advise getting a 4x6 label size printer. They make smaller or continuous roll ones but the suck or are pricy.

Thanks. I had a wireless Walmart cheapie until 1 day I didn’t. Went downtown in a hurry and spent $300 on 37 bells and whistles I didn’t need just to get wireless. When it takes a dump I’ll get a wireless label printer
