shipping label

Parcel address sticker

A shipping label is the adhesive tag or printed slip attached to a package showing delivery information—recipient address, return address, tracking barcode, and carrier details.

The label tells handlers where a package is going and allows its progress to be tracked: Print the shipping label and tape it to the box.

Most are now generated electronically through carrier websites or shipping software.
