How to print Evri labels on a thermal printer

Evri’s help pages say it provides both A4 labels and thermal-printer-sized 4×6 labels that you can download from your account. If you send parcels with Evri directly and have a thermal printer, choose the thermal size and print it straight from Evri. That’s the simplest route, and you won’t need to crop anything.

For many Evri services you can also have the label printed in a ParcelShop. Instead of a PDF, you get a QR code or a code by email, and the shop prints the label when you drop the parcel off. Not every service or every drop-off point offers this, so check your booking before you set off.

Evri labels don’t always come from Evri’s own website. If the label was created by a marketplace or retailer you sell through, it may come as an A4 PDF, sometimes with instructions, a return label or other labels on the same page. Sellers on other platforms’ forums report the same thing. You might also only have a screenshot of the label.

None of those will print properly on a 4×6 printer as they are. Cropping the label out of the page fixes that.

1. Save the label to your iPhone. For a PDF, use the share option when it opens and choose Save to Files. For an email attachment, open it and save it to Files. A screenshot will already be in Photos.
2. Open Label Fixer and import the Evri label from Files, or choose a screenshot or photo from Photos.
3. If the PDF has more than one page, pick the page with the label on it.
4. Label Fixer finds the label and crops it to a portrait 4×6 inch PDF. Check the preview: the address, barcode and any QR code should all be inside the crop.
5. If the crop has picked up too much, such as printed instructions beside the label, tap Edit Label. Move or resize the crop so it sits around the label, and rotate it if the label is sideways.
6. Share the finished PDF to your printer’s own app, or save it to Files, send it by Mail or AirDrop it to a computer that’s connected to the printer.

Open the 4×6 PDF in your printer’s app, or send it to a computer connected to the printer.

• Choose 4×6 inch (sometimes listed as 6×4, or 100 × 150 mm) as the paper or label size in your printer’s app.
• Print at actual size or 100%. Avoid “fit” or “scale” options unless your printer’s instructions say otherwise.
• Do one test print when you set up a new printer or a new roll, and check the barcode is sharp, complete and not cut off at the edges.

• Print from the PDF where you can. A screenshot can work, but it’s only as sharp as your screen. A PDF gives crisper barcodes.
• Check the label is upright. If the label was sideways on the A4 page, rotate it in Edit Label before you share it.
• Keep the barcode clear. Don’t put tape over it, and stick the label on a flat side of the parcel.
• Lost the print? Reopen the label from History in Label Fixer and print it again.
