Our system is not only compatible with the most popular and standardised S17, S19, 6x4 and 8x4 labels, but it also allows users to customise their labels to their needs.

Intelligent Address
Formatting
Verify domestic and international address accuracy before the label is generated and prevent failed deliveries due to the delivery address being incorrect.
Moreover, going off the beaten track, we offer this feature for free for all our users to get them one step closer to improving their deliverability, therefore customer satisfaction rates.
Wondering How Special a Courier Label Can Get?
Let us explain. With the personalised label option, Courier API lets its customers print a second label right after their primary courier label to personalise their customers’ experience or print other useful information.
As for what you can print on this label, we leave it completely to our customers’ imagination. This label practically gives you a blank canvas where you can get creative with your gift notes or it acts as a quick and handy way of sending returns instructions with your deliveries.
Our label editor allows users to manipulate the content of this special label using basic HTML and CSS, which means you’re free to create your own content. Not sure what HTML and CSS are? No problem at all, as our label editor also allows you to just send a logo image and a message.
