After hearing from
Now I just have to figure out the best way to handle adhering the labels / address forms to the packages. For today’s shipment (as shown above) I just printed the labels on plain paper and stuck them on with rubber cement. In the future I may consider self-adhesive full sheet labels, but that’s also a bit wasteful if I’m not printing at least two labels with each go.
I use PayPal shipping all the time, which is very similar to click-n-ship. I just use normal invisible tape to tape around the whole edge of the label. I’ve not had any problems with that not sticking to standard shipping containers, and as long as you don’t cover the bar codes, you’re just fine.
Ben: I could probably do that as well. I’d just be a bit afraid of the whole label tearing if it is hit by something sharp. Having adhesive on the back tends to make tears much more localized.
I’ve found clear packing tape works fantastically for that sort of thing. I usually do labels by printing them on my printer, cutting them out, and then covering with packing tape.
Kurt: I may just do that, but my concern was with putting tape over the bar codes when the USPS directions specifically said not to. Then again, I imagine that properly applied tape still scans just fine. It’s not reflectivity that matters, but light/darn patterns.
