Shipping labels for small business
Small businesses need labels that are fast to create and cheap enough to repeat. Oshippy is the label step: compare live rates, pay per shipment, print a PDF, and keep the record.
Labels vs the rest of your stack
Your shop may already use Shopify, Square, eBay, or Etsy. Those tools list products. The shipping label is still a postage purchase. Some marketplaces sell labels inside their dashboard. Others leave you to buy postage yourself. Oshippy covers the “buy the label” job when you want USPS and UPS on one phone-friendly checkout.
What to standardize
- Two or three box or mailer sizes that fit most orders.
- A weight process: scale, package weight helper, or confirmed estimate.
- A print setup — plain paper or a thermal printer.
- A drop-off routine so labels do not sit on a desk overnight.
When to stay in a marketplace’s label tool
If a marketplace includes prepaid labels in its seller protection or is clearly cheaper after fees for that order, use it. If you ship outside that marketplace — invoices, local pickup leftovers, wholesale samples — keep online shipping labels in Oshippy.
