Print Mailing or Shipping Labels

You can print mailing or shipping labels from your customer list, from individual customer records, and from the Customer Center.

(Pro) You can also print shipping labels from sales receipts and customer orders.

From the customer list, display the customer details. In the Addresses section, select one of the entered addresses from the drop-down list and then click Print Label.

With this option, you can print a mailing label for one, all, or a selected group of customers.

Display your customer list or an individual customer record.
If on an individual customer record, select Print Label below the customer address fields. Pro users can print using either the Bill To or Ship To address.

If in the customer list, select the customer or customers for which you wish to print labels and then select Print Labels from the Print menu. How do I select multiple customers?

You may find it helpful to filter the list to display a specific group of customers, such as by ZIP code or last purchase date, before selecting.
If you intend to print labels for all customers, you do not have to select them. You can specify that option in the next step.

Specify or change options in the Print Labels dialog:

Change the printer to be used, if necessary
Specify if printing for selected customers or all displayed customers
Specify the number of labels to print for each customer
Preview and/or change the label template used (select More Options, if necessary, to access)

Select Print or Preview.
If printing to sheet labels, specify a label start position (for printing on partial pages of labels) and then select Continue. If necessary, you can also align your printer from this dialog.

Printing labels from the Customer Center gives you the added advantage of being able to create a mailing campaign list filtered by customer record information and/or by sales data. Labels printed from the Customer Center always use the customers' billing addresses.

On the home page Navigator, click Customer Center. The Customer Center is opened.
In the Reach Out to Your Customers section, click Print Mailing Labels. The Print Mailing Labels wizard is opened.

The wizard includes the following pages. Click Next when ready to move to the next page.
