If you are printing A4 courier labels and using one full sheet per label, you are wasting half your sticker paper every time. Most UK courier labels (Royal Mail, DPD, Evri, Parcelforce) only take up half an A4 sheet in practice — so it is easy to fit two on one page. Here is how.
What you need
You need half-page sticker paper (sold as "A4 2-per-page shipping label sheets" or "half-page label paper"), your courier labels as PDFs, and the free Label Resizer tool on this site. That is it — no software to install.
How to print two labels per page — step by step
Download your label PDFs from your courier
Most UK couriers (Royal Mail, DPD, Evri, Parcelforce) give you a full A4 PDF with the label taking up roughly the top or bottom half of the page. Download each label separately.
Resize to half-page using Label Resizer
Upload your first label to the Label Resizer tool. Select "Half Page" as the output format, choose "Top Half", and download. Upload your second label, select "Half Page" and "Bottom Half", and download that too.
Combine the two PDFs into one
Use a free PDF merger (such as ilovepdf.com or Smallpdf) to combine your two half-page label PDFs into a single-page document. You will end up with one PDF containing both labels — one on the top half and one on the bottom half.
Print at 100% onto your sticker sheet
Load your half-page sticker sheet and print the combined PDF at exactly 100% scale (Actual Size — not "Fit to Page"). Both labels will print on the same sheet, one per half.
Peel, stick, and send
Peel each half of the sticker sheet and apply one label to each parcel. You have used one sheet of sticker paper for two shipments instead of two.
Tip: if you are printing the same label twice (e.g. two identical outbound parcels going to the same address), you can resize the label to "Top Half" and "Bottom Half" from the same source PDF and combine them without any extra steps.
How much does this save?
Half-page label sticker sheets cost roughly £10–£15 for 100 sheets (200 labels). Printing two labels per sheet effectively cuts your paper cost per label in half. If you ship 100 parcels a month, you save around £5–£7 a month in sticker paper alone — and more if you were previously buying full-page single-label sheets.
Which couriers does this work with?
Any courier that produces A4 PDF labels. This includes Royal Mail (Click & Drop and Online Postage), DPD, Evri, Parcelforce, and Yodel. It also works with platform labels from eBay, Vinted, Depop, and WooCommerce where labels are generated as A4 PDFs.
US courier labels (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL) are typically already in 4x6 thermal format, so the half-page approach is less relevant unless you are printing on an inkjet or laser printer rather than a thermal printer.
What sticker paper should I buy?
Search for "A4 half-page shipping labels", "2 per page label sheets", or "A5 sticker paper" — all refer to the same product. Each A4 sheet has two peel-and-stick areas, one top and one bottom. They work in standard inkjet and laser printers. Prices typically range from £8 to £15 per 100 sheets.
