Whether you're using a 2x7" label printer, a 4x6" printer, or a regular desktop printer, here is a list of resources where to buy labels.
Dymo 2x7" label printers
Dymo-Compatible Label 99019 Paper: You'll want to buy the Dymo-Compatible 99019 label paper (or label paper with the dimensions of 59 x 190 millimeters) if you're using one of the following Dymo label printers that support 2x7" labels:
Dymo LabelWriter 450
Dymo LabelWriter 450 Turbo
Dymo LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo
Dymo LabelWriter 450 Duo

Dymo LabelWriter 4XL (also works with 4x6" labels)
Dymo 4XL label printer
Dymo-Compatible 4x6" Labels: If you're using a Dymo 4XL 4x6" label printer, you'll want to buy Dymo 4XL-compatible shipping labels. They don't have to be Dymo-brand, but they need to be Dymo compatible π
Here are two options we recommend:
Brother 2x7" label printers

Brother QL-500
Brother QL-700
Brother QL-800

Brother 4x6" label printers
4x6" Brother Printers: Here are some 4x6" Brother label printers you can use to Print 4x6" labels on Pirate Ship:
Brother QL-1050
Brother QL-1050N
Brother QL-1060N
Brother QL-1100
Brother QL-1110NWB
Brother Printers Without a Cutter: You can use the DK-1241 or DK-1247 label paper if your Brother printer doesn't have a cutter.
Zebra or other direct thermal 4x6" label printers
Use fanfold 4x6" Label Paper: Other label printers don't need specific label paper, so look for 4x6" direct thermal label paper that supports the printer you have. We recommend fanfold label paper if you're doing a lot of shipping, as long as your printer supports it.
Desktop Printers
You Can Use a Desktop Printer: Regular old computer paper works just fine with Pirate Ship! You'll just want to use strong, clear packing tape to stick your label onto the package, and avoid creating any lines or creases if you're taping over the barcode π
Half-Sheet Sticker Label Printer is Recommended: If you're using a desktop printer, we recommend buying half-sheet sticker label paper like the following options:
Note: Pirate Ship currently ONLY supports half-sheet sticker paper like these, where a letter-size paper is cut exactly down the middle. There are other shipping label paper templates out there that have different layouts, and Pirate Ship labels will NOT align to their sticker cutouts.
