What are the print specifications for mailing labels?

Mailing labels have a familiar standard size, but they are flexible enough to be produced in almost any custom dimension when your envelopes or packages call for something different. Supplying a high-resolution file with bleed keeps addresses and barcodes crisp and scannable.

• Standard size: 1" x 2.625" is the common address-label dimension.
• Custom sizes: virtually any dimensions can be produced for larger shipping or specialty labels.
• File format: supply a high-resolution PDF with bleed included.
• Legibility: keep addresses and any barcodes well inside the safe area so they scan and read cleanly.
