1. Customise Your Printer Settings

You can configure your label printing settings directly within your Interparcel account. Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Interparcel account. Hover over My Account and select Settings. Click Printer Settings from the left-hand menu.

Here’s what you can customise:

  • 6x4 Thermal Labels
  • A4 Standard
  • A4 (4 Labels Per Page)
• Hide Sender Address: Some couriers allow hiding the sender’s address. Contact us for compatible services.

2. Printing Single Labels or in Bulk

Single Labels: Printing a Label for One Order. If you need to print a shipping label for a single order, you have several options:

1. Immediately After Booking (Excluding Australia Post Labels): If you book an order with one of Interparcel’s courier partners, your label will be available on the booking confirmation page right after payment. Please note, this option is not available for Australia Post labels.

2. Via Order Confirmation Emails (Excluding Australia Post Labels): You will receive an email for each processed order, which includes the shipping label. Please note, this option is not available for Australia Post labels.

3. Printing via Shipping Manager: If you need to access a single label after leaving the booking confirmation page, you can access all labels booked that day within the Shipping Manager's Booked Today tab. This method can be used to also print your Australia Post labels. Tick the relevant order you wish to print labelling for, and select Print Label at the top of your order list.

4. Via Your My Orders Section: If you need to access a single label, this can be done via your My Orders section of your Interparcel account. Hover over My Account tab from the top menu, and select My Orders. Search for the order, and click on the listing to enter the specific order details. Labels for that order will be available at the bottom of the order details page. Labels will remain available for a two week period after booking. This method can also be used for Australia Post labels.

Bulk Labels: Printing Labels for Multiple Orders. If you need to print multiple labels at once, you have several options:

1. Immediately After Booking (Excluding Australia Post Labels): When processing multiple orders at once, your labels will be available on the booking confirmation page right after payment. You can use this file to print labels in bulk. Please note, this option is not available for Australia Post labels.

2. Printing via Shipping Manager: If you need to access multiple labels after leaving the booking confirmation page, or you have processed single orders over the day and want to print all labels that have been booked that day at once, you can access all labels booked that day within the Shipping Manager's Booked Today tab. This method can be used to also print your Australia Post labels. You can tick all relevant orders that you would like to print labelling for, and select Print Label at the top of your order list.

3. Via Bulk Order Confirmation Email (Excluding Australia Post Labels): When you process multiple orders at once, you will also receive an email containing all of the labels included in that transaction, and this file can also be used to bulk print your labelling for these orders. Please note, this option is not available for Australia Post labels.

3. Downloading a PDF and Printing Manually

After completing your booking, you’ll be taken to a page where your order documents can be downloaded. You’ll also receive an email with all your shipment labels and documents. To print your label:

1. Download the Shipping Label PDF and any required documents.

2. Open the PDF. Ensure Adobe Reader is installed. Click the print icon in the top-right corner.

3. Select your printer and click Properties.

4. Choose your desired paper size (A4 or 4x6).

5. Click Print.

Your labels are now ready to attach to your parcel!
