Print 2 Ship turns any shipping-label PDF into a print-ready file. No more screenshot-and-crop, no more labels landing crooked on the sticker. Drop a PDF or image from PostNL, bpost, USPS, FedEx, DHL, Shopify, Etsy β any carrier β into the app. The label area is detected automatically, you tweak the crop if needed, and everything prints in one go β on a 4Γ6 thermal label printer, an inkjet, a laser printer, on A4 or Letter sheets, or at a custom size you define. Ideal for online shops, freelancers, and makers shipping packages daily. MULTIPLE LABELS PER SHEET No label printer? Print on plain sheets instead. Set up a grid β 2 Γ 5 address labels on A4, for example β with your own sheet margins and spacing. A live preview shows exactly where every label lands, and label size can adjust itself so the grid fits the sheet perfectly. WHAT THE APP DOES β’ Drag-and-drop PDFs and images β multi-page PDFs are split into individual labels automatically β’ Auto-detection of the label area, with a manual crop overlay for the edge cases β’ Zoom and pan while cropping, so you can fine-tune down to the millimetre β’ Your own presets for label sizes (4Γ6 inch, A6, or fully custom in mm or inch) β’ Multiple labels per sheet, with a live preview of the grid β’ Batch printing β your entire queue sent to the printer at once β’ Save or share as PDF β export your cropped labels without a printer, for a copy shop or another device β’ Light/dark theme that follows your system β’ Memory-aware: handles large batches smoothly ON ALL YOUR DEVICES On Mac: drag-and-drop, a sidebar with your presets, and the system print panel.
