Understanding Royal Mail Labels
Direct thermal adhesive labels sized and formatted to meet Royal Mail's specific requirements, ensuring barcodes, tracking references, and delivery addresses print accurately within the correct zones. An essential consumable for any business despatching parcels through Royal Mail on a regular basis.
Sizes and Formats Available
Our collection covers the two standard sizes: 100x150mm and 101.6x152.4mm (4x6"). Both are available on rolls in 25mm cores for desktop printers or 76mm for industrial machines. Fanfold labels are the preferred choice for high-throughput environments where uninterrupted feeding matters.
Choosing the Right Royal Mail Label
The two key considerations are your printer model and despatch volume. Desktop printers use 25mm core rolls, industrial machines require 76mm. Single rolls of 250 or 500 suit lower-volume senders, while bulk fanfold packs offer a lower cost per label for businesses shipping large quantities daily.
Why Direct Thermal for Postage Labels?
Direct thermal labels print using heat with no ink or ribbon required, keeping running costs low. Postage labels only need to remain legible during transit, so direct thermal is perfectly suited. All labels feature permanent adhesive suitable for cardboard boxes, polythene mailers, and padded envelopes.
Compatible with Royal Mail Despatch Manager Online
Our 4x6" labels are specifically listed as compatible with Royal Mail's Despatch Manager Online (DMO) platform. Both the 100x150mm and 4x6" sizes are standard Royal Mail formats. If you are unsure which to order, check your label output settings within your Royal Mail account first.
