How to Create a USPS Label

With USPS Click-N-Ship, shipping labels are as easy as a few clicks. The best part is its user-friendly interface, allowing anyone to easily get started creating labels. Let’s break down exactly how to use Click-N-Ship to create your USPS labels.

  1. Create a USPS account
    Registering for a USPS account is free and only takes a few minutes. Once you’ve signed up, you gain access to the Click-N-Ship tool where you can create and print your own labels.
  2. Shipping Details
    Before creating your labels, have the following information ready.
    – Recipient’s name and address
    – Package weight and dimensions
    – Which USPS service you’ll be using—e.g. Ground Advantage, Priority Mail, etc.
  3. Access Click-N-Ship
    Once you’ve created an account and have your information ready, all you have to do is enter your package details and the tool will do the rest. This service is extremely popular due to its intuitive interface, which can create a USPS label in seconds.
