Print ShipStation labels on a Zebra

Most ShipStation shops already own a Zebra ZD420, ZD421, or GK420d for 4x6 thermal labels. Official postage prints from ShipStation. Custom pack faces, warehouse tags, and CSV ship-to stickers you can design here.

Path A. ShipStation postage on a Zebra

1. In ShipStation, set your default label size to 4×6.
2. Install the Zebra as a thermal printer (or use ShipStation’s recommended Zebra driver / Browser Print path for your OS).
3. Create labels for today’s orders and print from ShipStation’s print queue.
4. If PDFs scale wrong (tiny label on a page), switch to thermal/native 4×6 settings, never “fit to page” on letter paper.

Hardware setup help: ZD420, ZD421, Browser Print.

Path B. Custom faces from ShipStation data

When you need custom branding, pack slips on thermal stock, bin labels, or a Mac-friendly designer:

1. In ShipStation, export shipments or orders to CSV (name, address, city, state, ZIP, order #, tracking, SKU).
2. Open app.mylabelmaker.com, free. No signup.
3. Set artboard to 4×6 (shipping) or 2×1 / 3×2 (product/bin).
4. Map fields with tokens: {{name}}, {{address1}}, {{city}}, {{state}}, {{zip}}, {{tracking}}, {{order_id}}.
5. Paste CSV in Variables → preview each row → print to Zebra via Browser Print.
