- Label format
- 4 × 8 in, roll-fed
- Product type
- Direct thermal shipping labels
Description
These blank direct thermal labels provide a 4 in wide by 8 in long printing area for shipping addresses, barcodes and supported extended-label content. Direct thermal printing uses a compatible heat-sensitive label surface, so no separate ink ribbon is required.
The case contains 16 rolls, making it convenient to distribute stock across packing stations or keep replacement rolls nearby. Set both the printer driver and shipping application to the correct label size before running a batch.
Features
- Longer shipping format: 4 × 8 in stock provides more length than a standard 4 × 6 in label.
- Direct thermal media: works with printers configured for direct thermal labels of this size.
- 250 labels per roll: a defined roll quantity makes replenishment planning straightforward.
- 16-roll case: 4,000 labels total, calculated from the stated case contents.

Common questions
Do these labels need a ribbon?
No. They are listed as direct thermal media. Your printer must be set to the correct print method; thermal-transfer media is a different product.
Will they work in a regular office printer?
They are roll media for a suitable thermal label printer, not letter-size sheets for an ordinary inkjet or laser printer.
Can I use the extra area in WorldShip?
UPS documents options such as reference numbers, a logo or an additional barcode for supported extended label stock. Availability depends on the chosen settings and workflow.
How should I store unused rolls?
Keep them dry, away from heat and direct sunlight, in their protective packaging. Thermal images and coatings can be affected by storage conditions and chemical contact.
