Branded Labels

StarShip allows you to customize thermal labels with your own branding. Branded labels can be set up in (Setup > Printing) Manage Templates and then attached to the top of existing thermal labels. We provide you with a sample branded label template to start with, but you can also create your own.

This is an example of a branded label :

Image Specifications

Use these guidelines to optimize your image for clear printing on branded labels.

Image Size

Templates print in 96 DPI*; For a 4" wide template, the image pixel size should be 384 or smaller to ensure that the image fits on the label.
* In printing, DPI (dots per inch) is the usual measure of printed image quality on paper.

Image Color

Images should be black and white, or grayscale. You can use an image editor to quickly convert a color image to grayscale.

Scaling

In order to print a quality image, you should use an image at its original size and avoid rescaling it after adding it to the template.
