You can use any printer for printing labels on Pirate Ship
No special printer required: Pirate Ship allows you to print shipping labels with any kind of printer.
Using a desktop printer: If you have a regular desktop printer, you can print either 1 or 2 labels per standard letter-size 8.5x11” paper. You can use regular paper, and simply cut the excess paper and tape it to your packages, or you can purchase half-sheet sticker paper, which can simplify the process.
Note: Perforated 4x6" labels like the ones provided by Avery will not work! You would need to purchase full half-sheet sticker paper if you choose to not use standard desktop printer paper.
Using a label printer: If you have a label printer, you can print your USPS® labels as a 4x6” or 2x7" label, while your UPS® labels will only print in the standard 4x6" size.

Download labels and send them to someone else: After you purchase labels on Pirate Ship, you can also download them as a PDF or ZPL file or generate a share link to send the labels to someone else who will print them for you.
