The Easiest Way to Print a Depop Shipping Label

Selling on Depop is an exciting venture, connecting you with buyers who love your unique style. But after you make a sale, one crucial step remains: shipping. The process of getting your item from your hands to your customer’s can feel complicated, especially when it comes to printing the shipping label.

Many sellers wonder about the best and most efficient way to handle this part of the fulfillment process. Are you stuck using a standard office printer? Can you print from your phone? What’s the easiest way to get a professional-looking label without the hassle of ink, paper jams, and wasted supplies?

This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about printing Depop shipping labels. We'll cover how to get your label from Depop, where you can print it, and the best type of printer to streamline your workflow. We'll also explore how you can automate and scale your entire resale business, turning your side hustle into a thriving enterprise on Depop, Poshmark, and more.

How to Get and Print Your Depop Shipping Label

Once you’ve made a sale on Depop, the platform makes it straightforward to get the necessary shipping documentation. The core of the process begins with an email.

After a purchase is confirmed, Depop will email the seller a downloadable shipping label. This label is typically in a standard format like a PDF, making it universally accessible on different devices.

From there, you have a couple of options depending on your preference and available equipment. This flexibility ensures that you can get your package out the door whether you have a full home office setup or just your smartphone.

The first option is to print the shipping label at home. If you have a printer, this is often the most convenient choice. You can simply open the email from Depop, download the attached label file, and print it out. This method allows you to prepare your packages on your own schedule without needing to visit a retail location for printing services.

Alternatively, if printing at home isn’t easy for you or if you prefer a digital-first approach, Depop provides a QR code. This code is also sent in the confirmation email. You can take your packaged item and your smartphone to the nearest USPS drop-off location. A postal employee will scan the QR code directly from your phone screen, and they will print and affix the official shipping label for you. This is a great paper-free, printer-free solution.

Where to Print Your Depop Label

If you choose to print your labels yourself, you have more flexibility than ever before. You are no longer tethered to a desktop computer connected to a bulky printer. Modern technology allows you to print from virtually any device you use to run your business.

Let's explore the common devices sellers use to print their Depop shipping labels.

Printing from a Phone or Tablet

For resellers who are always on the go, managing business from a mobile device is essential. You can print your Depop shipping labels directly from your phone or tablet. This is made possible with wireless printers that connect seamlessly to your mobile devices.

Using a dedicated shipping app, such as the Rollo Ship app, in conjunction with a compatible wireless printer, you can manage the entire process from your handheld device. The workflow is simple and efficient, eliminating the need to transfer files to a computer.

The general steps to print from your mobile phone are straightforward. First, you sync your smartphone with a wireless printer, like a Rollo Wireless Printer, via your Wi-Fi network. Next, you open the PDF of the shipping label on your phone, which you received in the email from Depop. Finally, you select the option to print and choose your connected wireless printer. The label prints in seconds, ready to be applied to your package.

Printing from a Desktop PC

The traditional method of printing from a desktop PC is still a reliable option for many sellers. If you have a dedicated office space, printing from your computer can be part of a well-organized shipping station.

You can use the Rollo Ship app and a Depop label printer by Rollo to manage printing from your desktop as well. This provides a consistent experience whether you're working from your computer or your phone.

With a Rollo Wireless Printer, you can print from any device connected to your network, including your desktop. This means you can download the label from your email and send it to the printer without ever needing to connect a cable, keeping your workspace clean and clutter-free.

Finding the Best Depop Shipping Label Printer

While any printer can technically print a shipping label, using the right tool for the job can dramatically improve your efficiency, reduce costs, and give your packages a more professional look. For high-volume sellers on Depop, Poshmark, eBay, and other platforms, a dedicated thermal label printer is a game-changing investment.

The Rollo label printer is an ideal choice for simplifying Depop shipping. It’s a high-end label printer designed specifically for the needs of e-commerce sellers, delivering professional-level, lightning-fast labels with zero hassle.

The Power of Direct Thermal Printing

One of the biggest advantages of a printer like the Rollo is its use of direct thermal printing technology. Unlike traditional inkjet or laser printers, thermal printers do not use ink or toner cartridges.

Instead, they use special heat-sensitive paper that darkens when it passes over a thermal print head. This process eliminates the recurring cost of ink and toner forever, which can lead to significant savings over time. It also reduces waste, making it a more environmentally friendly option.

The result is a crisp, professional, and durable label that is resistant to smudging and fading, ensuring it remains scannable throughout its journey.

Speed and Efficiency for High-Volume Sellers

When you're juggling multiple orders, time is money. A standard printer can be slow, but a dedicated label printer is built for speed. The Rollo label printer offers High-Speed Printing, capable of producing one 4″x6″ label per second.

This printing speed is up to 10X faster than other printers, allowing you to get through a stack of orders in a fraction of the time. This lightning speed, combined with industrial-quality 203 DPI resolution, ensures your labels are both fast to print and easy to read for platforms including Depop.

For sellers who need to print multiple labels at once, Rollo printers support bulk printing for Depop shipping labels, further streamlining the fulfillment process. The easy tear bar also makes separating labels quick and clean.

Unmatched Quality and Longevity

A Depop shipping label printer should be a reliable workhorse for your business. The Rollo label printer is built with Industrial Quality components, ensuring it can handle the demands of a growing resale business.

It has a Long Printing Life and is rated to print over 500,000 labels. This is up to 3X longer life than other printers, making it a durable, long-term investment. Rollo printers produce HQ durable Depop labels with precision and clear print quality every time.

Furthermore, Rollo label printers are proudly FSC-certified, reflecting a commitment to responsible manufacturing.

Seamless Wireless Connectivity and Compatibility

Cables and drivers can complicate your workspace and workflow. The Rollo label printer is AirPrint & Wi-Fi Certified, allowing it to connect and print via Wi-Fi with no cables or clutter. This ensures a smooth fulfillment flow for your Depop orders.

This wireless capability makes it incredibly versatile. You can print seamlessly from iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebook without needing to install drivers or downloads. It allows printing from any app, giving you total flexibility.

The printer even updates itself automatically, allowing you to focus on shipping orders instead of worrying about maintaining software. The convenience of fast wireless printing via AirPrint® means you can print, stick, and send out packages without any extra steps or headaches.

Smart, User-Friendly Design

Beyond its core printing capabilities, the Rollo printer includes several features designed to make your life easier. Its compact size means it won't take up valuable desk space. Adjustable stabilizers ensure that different types of labels feed through correctly.

The printer also features auto label detection, so it automatically identifies the size and type of your label, preventing misprints and waste. It can even print on color labels and a variety of shapes and label types, not just standard shipping labels.

For users of the Rollo app, the printer can receive designs straight from the app for instant printing, creating a fully integrated ecosystem for your shipping needs.
