Print Shipping Labels Without a Printer

Print Shipping Labels Without a Printer Do you need to print a shipping label, but don't have a printer? USPS gives you several options: USPS Label Broker® Service: Bring your Label Broker ID (a QR Code) to a Post Office location that has Label Broker at the counter or a Label Broker self-service kiosk and get it printed, free! USPS Label Delivery Service: For a fee, get a shipping label delivered directly to you. Someone Sent You a Label Broker ID (a QR Code) You're returning something to a store or sending something to a customer through an ecommerce platform, and they sent you an email or text with a Label Broker ID (a QR Code). Here's what you do next to create your shipping label: You DO Have a Printer You got an email or text with a Label Broker ID (a QR Code), and you can print on your own printer. - Go to the Label Broker tool. - Type in the 8-10 character Label Broker ID (under the QR Code) and your ZIP Code, then hit the "Download Label" button. - You'll download your prepaid shipping label (a PDF file). Print that label. - Pack and seal your package, and tape the shipping label to it. - Drop off your ready-to-ship package at a Post Office location (or schedule a free package pickup). You DON'T Have a Printer You got an email or text with a Label Broker ID (a QR Code), and you want USPS to print the shipping label for you. - Save the Label Broker ID on your phone. - Pack and seal your package. - Take your ready-to-ship package and the Label Broker ID to a USPS location that supports Label Broker. - Go to the counter, give your package to the Retail Associate, and scan the Label Broker ID (QR Code) on your phone. They'll do the rest! (Or, if the location has a Label Broker self-service kiosk, you can do it yourself.) You're Using Click-N-Ship & You Want to Print a Label at the Post Office You're using Click-N-Ship to make and pay for a shipping label for your package, but don't have your own printer. - Pay for your postage using Click-N-Ship. - When prompted, choose the option to "Print later at Post Office." - USPS will send you an email with a Label Broker ID (QR Code followed by 8-10 characters). Save this email on your phone. - Pack and seal your package. - Take your ready-to-ship package and your Label Broker ID to a USPS location that supports Label Broker (suggested locations are listed in the email). - Go to the counter, give your package to the Retail Associate, and show them the Label Broker QR Code on your phone. They'll do the rest! Or, for locations with a Label Broker self-service kiosk, you can skip the line, get your label, and drop off your package. Save Time: Print Labels at Self-Service Kiosks Self-service kiosks are automated stations you can use for many USPS tasks, including printing prepaid shipping labels with Label Broker. - Create and pay for a shipping label using Click-N-Ship. - Choose the option to "Print later at Post Office." - USPS will send you an email with a Label Broker ID (a QR Code). Save this email on your phone. (Or, if you're getting a Label Broker ID from a store or ecommerce platform, they'll email or text it to you.) - Find a USPS location with a Label Broker self-service kiosk, and take your ready-to-ship package and your Label Broker ID to the kiosk. - Follow the on-screen instructions to "Scan QR Code for Label" (or enter the 8-10 character Label Broker ID) when asked. - After the shipping label prints, stick it to your package. - Drop off your package at the drop-off area or receptacle. USPS Label Delivery Service When you use Click-N-Ship to create shipping labels online, you can add Label Delivery Service, where USPS will print and deliver you the physical labels for an additional $1.65 fee (per label). - Create a shipping label using Click-N-Ship. - Go to "Select Extra Services" and choose "Label Delivery—Outbound." - After you complete and pay for your label, your USPS letter carrier will deliver the printed label to your address. For Businesses Just like regular customers, small businesses can bring Label Broker IDs and their sealed and ready-to-ship packages to Post Office locations to print and send. Plus, if you're a business interested in offering Label Broker to your customers (so they can easily send you returns), you can sign up. If you're using Click-N-Ship with a business account, not only can you request Label Delivery service for your outbound label (for a fee, USPS will send you the label for the package going to your customer); for an additional fee, USPS will send you a prepaid return label that your customer can use for painless returns. (You only get charged for the return postage if your customer uses the label.)

2026 Veterans Day Poster Unveiled Honoring Nation's Service

Each year, VA and the Veterans Day National Committee (VDNC) work together to select a poster to help tell the story of service, sacrifice and gratitude on Veterans Day. The poster serves as the visual centerpiece for the Nation’s Veterans Day observance and reflects the pride and patriotism Americans share in honoring those who wore the uniform. The poster that will represent Veterans Day this year brings together the enduring symbols of our Nation’s history with the continued legacy of military service, and recognizes America’s 250th anniversary. This year’s design combines the modern American flag with an early American flag, visually connecting the founding of the United States with the generations of Veterans who have defended its freedoms. The poster will be displayed in VA facilities, military installations and municipal buildings across America. It will also serve as the cover of the official program for the Veterans Day commemoration at Arlington National Cemetery on Nov. 11, 2026. It’s also available for download online.
