How to Print Address Labels on MacBook Pro

Printing address labels is a crucial step in shipping packages, especially for businesses that send out regular shipments. In this article, we will guide you through the process of printing address labels on your MacBook Pro using Pirate Ship, a popular online shipping solution.

Before starting, make sure you have downloaded and installed Pirate Ship's label template onto your computer. Once you have the template open in Preview, go to File > Print (or use the hotkey Command + P) to open the printing dialogue box.

In the dialogue box, select the correct printer from the Destination/Printer dropdown menu. You can also hover your cursor over the label preview and click on the icon that appears to open the PDF in Apple's Preview.

Safari provides a preview of the label, but we recommend opening the PDF with Apple's Preview for a more accurate representation. Firefox will ask you what action to take when you click the 'Download' button, while Chrome allows you to view the label preview and print it directly without downloading the file.

Once you have selected the label format in Pirate Ship, you will see a label preview below. Make sure that your web browser supports inline PDFs, such as Google Chrome, for a simplified printing process.

For label printers, choose the 4x6 inch option, while regular desktop printers can print on 8.5x11 inch paper, fitting up to two labels per page. If you are shipping large volumes of packages, consider investing in a label printer for increased efficiency.

After purchasing your shipping label, click the 'Print Label' button and select the label format needed for your printer. Note that perforated 4x6 inch labels like those provided by Avery will not work with regular desktop printers, so you may need to purchase full half-sheet sticker paper instead.

Before printing your label, make sure you have set up your printer correctly. If you are using a new printer, follow the instructions that came with it to get started. We also recommend watching our video tutorial on how to print Pirate Ship shipping labels using common printers and web browsers.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully print address labels on your MacBook Pro using Pirate Ship. Happy printing!
