Does anyone know if there's a label sold that's got an adhesive label for the postage that you can print at USPS.com or through paypal? I have been doing more and more shipping that way and it would be convenient to have labels that I didn't have to tape all the time.

The way that postage prints is on 1/2 the page (looking at it in landscape format) is the address label and the other half is the confirmation portion that the shipper hangs on to. The Avery 5126 are made for this, but you waste one label each time you use those services.

You can order for free from the USPS label packages that are clear envelopes that are adhesive that you put the label (folded sheet of paper into). They make them for customs forms. But I use them for my labels.

You can order them pretty cheap on Ebay. Just ordered myself 800 and split them with some friends.

Use Priority tape to tape them on...that is, if you are sending it via Priority mail :)

You have to tape over the address and bar codes, so that wouldn't work too well. ;)

Why?

You have a half sheet of paper...use priority tape only along the edges. :)

I then put some scotch tape over my return address, the receivers address and the numbers of the delivery confirmation only. You shouldn't tape anything over the barcodes, as the scanners have trouble reading it then.
