About LabelsLabels

Run by people who ship, for people who ship.

We're a team of UK e‑commerce founders who ship over 10,000 orders every month. We relied on Royal Mail's free labels until costs rose above £5/roll — so we researched direct thermal alternatives, and started commercialising after peers started asking for them.

We travelled to China and found a factory that can produce environmentally friendly direct thermal labels at a fraction of the cost of UK-made alternatives.

Our warehouse is in London, and we ship daily with Royal Mail Tracked 24.

Frequently Asked

Questions, answered

LabelsLabels sells 4×6 (100 × 150mm) direct thermal shipping labels direct from our website — £4.00 for a roll of 500, or £3.56 per roll in a Box of 18 (9,000 labels), both VAT included and shipped from our London warehouse via Royal Mail Tracked 24. No Royal Mail account is needed to order; checkout is independent of any courier account. See our guide to UK thermal label suppliers for what to check before buying from anyone.

Buying in bulk is the single biggest saving — a Box of 18 Rolls works out at £3.56 per roll, an 11% discount on ordering single rolls at £4.00 each. Beyond bulk pricing, checking a supplier states clear specs (100 × 150mm, 25mm core, direct thermal) matters more than chasing the lowest headline price, since inconsistent stock causes misprints that end up costing more than they save. Our guide to what actually drives label prices down covers this in more depth.

You can use a third-party supplier — Royal Mail's Click & Drop software works with any correctly specified 100 × 150mm direct thermal roll, regardless of who manufactured it. Royal Mail has scaled back free or discounted label stock on many business accounts in recent years, and buying from a dedicated supplier like LabelsLabels is usually cheaper than Royal Mail's own label pricing, with no change to your printer or account setup. See our guide to why Royal Mail scaled back free labels for the full picture.

Our 4×6 direct thermal labels are tested and compatible with Zebra GK420d/GK420t, Citizen CL‑S series, TSC DA210/DA220 and TE models, and Brother thermal printers. If you use a different model, get in touch and we'll confirm compatibility — or read our guide to choosing a thermal label printer if you haven't bought one yet.

Every order ships from our London warehouse via Royal Mail Tracked 24. Delivery times are estimates rather than guarantees, but the vast majority of UK orders arrive within 1–2 working days.

A Box of 18 Rolls works out at just £3.56 per roll — 9,000 shipping labels for £64.00, an 11% saving on buying individually. One Roll is a pack of 500 4x6 labels at £4.00, a good way to test compatibility with your printer first. Not sure how many you'll get through? Our guide to working out your monthly label usage can help you decide.

For best print contrast and adhesive performance, we recommend using rolls within 12–18 months of purchase, stored away from direct heat, sunlight and humidity — see our full storage guide for more detail.

Yes — every price shown includes VAT, and a VAT invoice showing our registration (GB476761939) is available with every order. Contact [email protected] if you need one reissued.
