The dimensional information for commonly used label sheets is preloaded in our system so you can select the type of paper and print without specifying dimensions.

TSC and Zebra printers are the most well-known brands, while XPrinter is a Chinese brand that offers affordable models.

Simply purchase thermal transfer/ direct thermal label sheets in the desired size and install them in the printer to print.
