Address Labels

Envelope labels are customizable stickers or labels that can be used on envelopes to indicate either the sender or recipient’s address. Due to their very common use in the mailing industry, they are also referred to as address labels.

These printable sheets can be combined with a home or office printer to create labels for envelopes. For the time they save their users, envelope labels are rather inexpensive as well.

The most common type of envelope label is a blank address label. Blank address labels have no text, allowing users to add any kind of information they choose. These address labels usually are great to use with label software programs and label templates. When purchasing this product, it’s important to keep in mind considerations such as printer compatibility, shape and color.

Here are two important considerations for your purchase decision.

Printer Compatibility

It is important to know what kind of device you can use in order to successfully print off the right type of envelope labels. Single and multi-function copiers can help users mass print personalized copier labels by using a master sheet, after which they can print multiple sheets. Dot-matrix printers, also known as pin-fed printers, can help users produce thousands of professional-looking labels without having to reload or reprint. Thermal printers use a thermal print head to transfer solid ink from a ribbon onto a label to produce a permanent print. Address labels are also compatible with inkjet and laser printers, offering users further flexibility.

Label Shape and Color

If you need a certain shape or color, Staples has you covered. We offer a wide variety of rectangle styles but also circle and square options for special circumstances. But what about color?

Standard white envelope labels are a popular choice because of the high contrast between black text and the white background. However, to help with branding or to just add a pop of color, Staples has many colors to choose from.
