Delivery Labels
Need reliable delivery labels that scan accurately and withstand the rigours of courier networks? Positive ID Labels produces high-quality shipping and logistics labels as part of our packaging label range for e-commerce, warehouses, and distribution centres. With over 20 years of printing experience and cutting-edge digital technology, we create labels that keep your parcels moving efficiently through postal and courier systems.
Based in Derby with excellent UK logistics, we understand time-critical dispatch operations. Our delivery labels feature crisp barcodes, strong adhesives, and durable materials that survive sorting machinery, weather exposure, and rough handling. Whether you’re shipping 50 parcels daily or 5,000, we’ll create labelling solutions that integrate seamlessly with your dispatch workflow.
Why Professional Delivery Labels Matter
Your parcels represent your business reputation. When labels fail, packages go astray, customers complain, and you bear the cost of reshipping. Amateur labelling creates problems throughout the supply chain.
We specialise in courier labels that meet the exacting standards of Royal Mail, DPD, Evri, DHL, and other major carriers. Our delivery labels scan reliably on first pass, stick securely to cardboard and polythene, and remain readable from warehouse to doorstep. That’s essential for maintaining high delivery success rates.
We’ve had a great experience working with this supplier, especially with Natalie - she is always very responsive, professional, and friendly. The pricing is highly competitive and the sales service has been excellent from start to finish.If I could offer one suggestion, it would be to improve the account and invoice management process. It would be really helpful if there were a system for clients to easily track their past orders and invoices in one place.Overall, very pleased with the service and look forward to continuing our collaboration.

Materials for Transport and Logistics
Our paper and synthetic materials are selected specifically for courier applications. Standard semi-gloss paper labels work perfectly for cardboard parcels in dry conditions. For outdoor exposure or longer transit times, we recommend polypropylene materials that resist moisture, scuffing, and temperature variations.
The Screen UV inkjet press prints at 600dpi resolution with speeds up to 50 metres per minute. This combination delivers sharp barcode printing and high-volume capacity at competitive prices. For shorter runs with custom sizes, our Jetrion press includes laser die cutting, producing any label dimension without tooling costs.
Thermal transfer labels are available for businesses using Zebra or similar industrial printers. We stock rolls in all standard core sizes (25mm, 40mm, 76mm) compatible with desktop and industrial label printers.
Barcode Quality and Scanning Performance
Barcode readability isn’t optional in logistics. When scanners can’t read labels, parcels miss collection deadlines, get sorted incorrectly, or require manual processing. All these failures cost time and money.
We print barcodes using verified profiles that meet GS1 and carrier specifications. Our quality checks include barcode grading to ensure X-dimension accuracy and quiet zone compliance. Whether you need Code 128, EAN-13, QR codes, or carrier-specific formats, we guarantee scanner compatibility.
Applications Across Logistics
- E-commerce businesses dispatch thousands of parcels weekly. Our high-volume production of delivery labels matches your pace, with 3-5 working day lead times.
- Warehouses and distribution centres use our labels for internal tracking and carrier allocation.
- 3PL providers need flexible labelling for varied clients and carriers.
- Manufacturers use our durable delivery labels for trade shipments and container shipping.
Standard and Custom Formats
Common sizes like 100x150mm and 102x152mm suit most courier requirements and integrate with standard printers. Need different dimensions? Digital die cutting produces any size without setup charges.
For standard mail requirements, see our postal labels. Pre-printed warning labels add handling instructions. “Fragile”, “This Way Up”, “Handle With Care” labels communicate requirements throughout the delivery chain.
Integration with Shipping Software
Most e-commerce platforms output labels as PDFs. We print directly from your digital files, maintaining exact formatting and barcode specifications.
Alternatively, supply artwork and we’ll manage colour matching, barcode generation, and layout optimisation. Our team has extensive experience with Royal Mail specifications and international courier standards.
Strong Adhesion for All Packaging
Different packaging needs different adhesives. Corrugated cardboard accepts most permanent adhesives. Polythene mailing bags require stronger formulations. Padded envelopes need adhesives that grip irregular surfaces.
We test adhesive performance on customer-supplied packaging when required, eliminating failures from incompatible combinations.
Fast Production
Logistics operations can’t wait weeks. Our digital printing eliminates tooling delays, delivering completed labels within 3-5 working days from artwork approval. Located in Derby, most UK deliveries arrive next working day.
Rush orders available. Call 01332 864895 to discuss expedited production for urgent requirements.
Quality Control for Logistics
Every batch undergoes quality verification before shipping. We check print registration, barcode quality, die cutting accuracy, and adhesive application. This quality-first approach minimises operational risks.
Industries We Serve
E-commerce and retail businesses trust our consistent quality. Logistics and courier services use our labels for hub operations. Manufacturing and distribution companies rely on our durable materials. Healthcare, education, and charities use our labels for bulk mailings.
