Creating a domestic shipping label in PitneyShip Pro

You can create and print a shipping label for a domestic package.

The features and options you see may vary depending upon your role and subscription. If you have any questions regarding your permissions, please contact your administrator.

The overall process for adding a label is the same for all carriers, although package sizes and services may vary. This article documents processing a domestic mailpiece. If you are sending your mail piece internationally, please see related topics at the bottom of this article.

Items to the Channel Islands may also require accompanying customs forms to be completed and attached. Visit The Royal Mail website and Help sending mail to the Channel Islands for more information.
