Can you print shipping label online?
Yes. With Label Shark, you can buy a shipping label online, print it, and use it for a real shipment. The process is straightforward: enter shipment details, compare available carrier rates, choose a service, pay securely, and print the label after payment.
For shipments from the USA to international destinations, available services may come from DHL, UPS, USPS, and FedEx depending on the route and package details. If customs information is required, you can add it during checkout before the label is generated.

How to buy and print a shipping label online
Label Shark is built for a practical shipping flow. You enter the shipment details once, compare available services, and buy the label that fits your package and destination.
Enter sender and recipient details
Add the origin and destination addresses carefully. Address autocomplete can help reduce mistakes, but you should still confirm apartment numbers, postal codes, and contact details where required.
Enter package details
Provide the package weight and dimensions as accurately as possible. Package presets can help if you ship common box or envelope sizes.
Add customs details if needed
For international shipments, you may need to describe the contents, declare value, select shipment purpose, and provide other customs information before purchase.
Compare rates
Label Shark shows available carrier and service options side by side so you can compare cost and service type in one place.
Select carrier and service
Choose the shipping option that best matches your budget, destination, and timing needs.
Pay securely
Complete checkout through the platform. No account is required to buy a label.
Print the label
After payment, the shipping label is generated instantly. Download it and print it clearly so the barcode and address are easy to scan.
Drop off the package
Attach the label securely to the package and drop it off with the selected carrier shown on the label.
If you are shipping internationally, double-check customs details before paying to help avoid delays.
Carrier options when you print shipping label online
Label Shark is a shipping label platform, not the carrier itself. Depending on your shipment, the calculator may show services from DHL, UPS, USPS, and FedEx so you can compare them in one place.
| Carrier | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DHL | Many international shipments and cross-border delivery options | Often considered for international shipping. Availability depends on destination, package details, and service level. |
| UPS | International parcels, business shipments, and a range of service choices | May offer useful options for time-sensitive or higher-value shipments depending on route and package size. |
| USPS | Smaller packages, documents, and cost-conscious shipping in some cases | International availability and service types vary by destination. Final rates depend on weight, dimensions, and package type. |
| FedEx | International shipments that may need premium or business-oriented service options | Can be a strong option for certain destinations and service levels. Availability depends on the shipment details entered. |
The best choice is not always the same carrier. Compare the live options shown in the calculator based on your exact package and destination.
Customs details for international shipping labels
For international shipments from the United States, customs information is usually required. This helps the carrier and destination customs authority understand what is inside the package and how it should be processed.
You may be asked for item descriptions, declared value, country of origin, shipment purpose, and whether the contents are documents or merchandise. Some shipments may also need HS classification details. Label Shark can support customs entry and may provide AI-assisted help for HS classification where relevant.
Customs acceptance, duties, taxes, and import rules depend on the destination country and the contents of the shipment. Label Shark does not provide legal or tax advice, and customs outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
- Clear item description
- Declared value
- Country of origin
- Shipment purpose
- Documents or merchandise
- HS classification where relevant
Avoid vague descriptions such as "gift" or "parts" by themselves. Incomplete or inaccurate customs details may cause delays, extra review, or delivery problems.
If you are unsure how to describe the contents, use specific plain language and review the customs fields carefully before buying the label.
Important things to know before you buy a label
Use accurate weight and dimensions
Rates and service availability depend heavily on package size and weight. Incorrect measurements may lead to adjustments or shipping issues.
Check sender and recipient addresses carefully
A small address error can delay delivery or make the label unusable. Confirm postal codes, unit numbers, and country selection.
Use clear contents descriptions for international shipments
If customs applies, describe the items specifically and enter realistic values. Generic descriptions may create delays.
Add phone or email when required
Some carriers or destinations may require contact information for delivery coordination or customs processing.
Review prohibited and restricted items
Not every item can be shipped to every destination. Carrier rules and destination import restrictions may apply.
Drop off with the selected carrier
The package should be dropped off with the carrier shown on the label, not a different one.
The label is generated after payment
Once checkout is complete, your shipping label is created and ready to download and print.
A few careful checks before purchase can help prevent delays, extra charges, and failed delivery attempts.
