Printer help.

“Can labels be printed with any printer or do we need a specific one?”

You can use any label printer with our service. There are plenty of excellent and cost-effective options available online (including eBay) or at Officeworks.

We are also partnered with Zebra printers, which are the industry standard for label printing. Please download an exclusive voucher here.

For other alternatives, we recommend the Dymo Label Writer 5XL or the Brother QL-1100.

“How do I download the labels?”

When you print the labels from Shipmate, the labels download to your local downloads file. Open the file here and print. We recommend you open the label file in Adobe Acrobat or Google Chrome.

“What dimensions do I need to configure the correct label size for my printer?”

In the settings of your printer, enter the Australian shipping label size of: 150mm x 152mm or 4″ x 6″.

“Why are the labels printing at the wrong size?”

When you print the label please select “Actual Size” in the print settings. If you are printing Premium labels and this does not work, print your labels from Google Chrome.

Please do not try to fit multiple labels onto a page, this can distort the barcode and QR code and impact the ability to scan the label and therefore impacting delivery.

Password help.

“How do I change my password?”

– Click the person icon at the top right of your ShipMate dashboard.
– Click “Change Password”.
