Royal Mail, Amazon, eBay UK Postal/Shipping Label printer, The Dymo LabelWriter 4XL.
Perfect for eBay UK, Amazon, PayPal, Royal Mail (and more), because it is wide enough to fit the whole label, and has a Windows & Mac driver.
So any software can print directly to the printer without any fancy settings via its own included software. (Although the software is good for making custom labels if needed)
As mentioned in the video, you can download the latest drivers here:

Watching this in June 2020 ... this is brilliant! That Welsh accent is just gorgeous yowser! I always wondered how people got those labels printed. I must get one of these Printers, it's a great investment. Thanks Damian ... great vid with a nice sharp image ... love it!. New Subbie. London UK
Thank you so much!
Lifesaver! Thank you so much :)
Very helpful, thanks. I'm trying to decide whether to buy a Dymo 4xl or a cheaper alternative. It's hard to know what to do, because sometimes you're just paying for the name - but then other times, quality stands the test of time (usually) x
Honestly, my Dymo LabelWriter 4XL is still working great, and I've printed thousands of labels. Having experimented with a few other printers, this one is fast and quiet. Other's I have tried are loud, slow and inconvenient.
The Dymo holds a big reel, and it's "inside" the printer. Where as other's I've used, the sheets are external, and on my office desk, its a pain.
I still haven't found a label printer that would make me consider moving away from my Dymo. I highly recommend it.
Update 13th Feb 2020: - Is this still a good deal?
I still use it every day, still works perfect, I cant find a better alternative, its holding its price because the market loves this label printer, and people are still buying them.
If this broke today, I'd buy another one in a heart beat.
really appreciate this video MANY THANKS.. may i ask however with the scaleing to fit with different labels have you had any issues with any barcodes not scanning or anything?
No, it works perfectly. The scanners used by Royal Mail and other couriers, have a sort of Error Correction for scanning bar codes of all shapes and sizes, including those that are distorted.
The people who make them have to account for blemishes and small creases, during the scan.
Since I've used the Dymo 4XL, I have only had 2 missing packages; and I doubt that was because of any issue with the barcode.
So, I think it's fine, looks good when printing out.
awesome video brooooo thank you alot
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video. Did you get one for yourself, and after a year, how have you found it?

On the royal mail website, you do have the option to have seperate label and dispatch note, as well as have the label as a 6x4 inch label. Which I think would be easier.
Yes, their developer team is very good. They can customise how your labels are generated after purchase.
Just tell them you have the LabelWriter 4XL, and they'll immediately know which configuration to set for your account, since its one of the most popular postal label printers. check the latest price in the video description.
Man, you are the ticket! Excellent video - I was trying to make up my mind between getting a Brother QL1100 (I've used other brother printers before) and a Dymo 4XL. Definitely the 4XL after watching this ;-) I wondered if you had an update on how to print the CN22 forms?
Hi, I'm sorry for the delay. You can find the CN22 Template here:

Great informative video, Do you have instructions for printing a myhermes label? thanks!
I will do in the future. It's on my list
If you use the click and drop with an account then you can get rid of all the other stuff and the print file will just be the 4x6 label so its a lot simpler.
Yes, it's even faster if you create an account, since the printed return address is already filled in for you! :)
Also your payment is already linked up to your account, making it very fast to print out your postal labels.

You are an absolute star! Thank you :).
Hi Damian. would the Dymo 4XL be also good for printing UPS labels as well as Royal Mail.
Thanks.
Hi Peter, yes the Dymo 4XL works with anything that can be printed... JPG, PNG, PDF, BMP... literally anything can be printed. :)
Great content but one information is missing ! Where did you get the sticker from for printing shipping label ? Can I buy shipping using amazon buy shipping ? Can I print FBA bar code using this ?
Ah, you can generate the postal label from anywhere, this printer is compatible with all of them, since its the larges, and can also fit the smaller ones if needed.
Amazon, eBay, PayPal, Royal Mail, UPS, TNT, FedEx, Parcel2Go, Hermes, MyHermes...
Because this printer appears to Windows/Mac as a standard printer, it can literally handle anything you click print on... I can even print .jpg .png photos, anything....
So, even if you found some really obscure file format, you can always just screenshot it, and print the screenshot.... But yeah, I've never needed to o that, I just know it works because I've got 23 years computer tech experience. It's good, but it, you wont be disappointed :)
Would the demo 450 be able to print the click and drop labels or is it only the 4xl that is comparable?
Hi, unfortunately the 450 is much too small to use as a full sized prepaid postal label. The 450 is good enough for printing "just the customers address" with no prepaid barcode. I use my 450 to print small CN22 declaration forms, and its really useful, saves me swapping rolls every time I get an international order.
Hiya,May I ask if we have more than 100 mails , do we need to put address in and step by step for each one? this takes time compare to what we are using -franking mail ,I am confuse if this is most efficient way to send goods ?
Hi, YES! - But the onus is on the postal label people, ie. whoever is generating the postal labels.
You provide your address lists to, for example Royal Mail, and then they'll provide you with the 100 pdf files (or 1 pdf, containing 100 postal labels).
Hit print, and the Dymo LabelWriter 4XL will start spitting them out very quickly, without taking a break between each one.
I've seen a few questions like this, so i'll probably be making a new video to demonstrate how this can be done, just as easily as well as showing how fast the printer is at completing 100 labels.
can someone help? Firstly great instructions, many thanks. However, I go through to print labels. In batch, I click on the icon of print labels...usually between 50 and 80 labels... but I just get a spinning circle as a timer and nothing happens...it will be like that for hours and am unable to print them. So am having to go to the email they send confirming that I have purchased labels and print of papers there and take them to the depot for them to scan QR codes and print labels for me.... What am I doing wrong ?
I love fixing problems like this... Its so rare, so I like a challenge.
Ok, well the short answer is that from your description, it really could be a million different things.
The best way to diagnose the problem, is to record a video showing your process, and being sure not to show any personal details of your customers. So for a test, you can choose any copyright free image from google, as a test.
In the meantime, you should make sure that the computer has detected the Dymo printer. There's a few ways to do this depending on what pc you have. In windows you should go to "Printers" and ensure that the Dymo printer is in that folder, and shows as connected... and not a ghosted out or hollow icon.
It's also important to check that your computer is fully updated, as there are many things that can interfere with your USB cable communication. Chipset drivers, power delivery to the usb controller, usb drivers, faulty port, old operating system.
...Also, consider using on another computer, to see if it works?
You may also have a faulty unit?
You may also consider phoning Dymo directly, or depending on where you purchased your, the retailer may offer you technical support too.
Those tech support people will have training on the most common faults, and the solutions to each.
Rest assured that the printer is amazing, and mine has served me well for several years, without any repair or maintenance.
Question bro can you not use the smaller Dymo printer model and scan the same label but smaller?
Yes you can... But that would be terrible.
The postman needs to be able to read the address to successfully deliver the package.
And the barcode needs to be scannable, to prove that the label has been paid for. :)
...the level of detail required, cannot be printed by the smaller Dymo LabelWriter 450.
If you're just printing the address, and nothing else (because you'll pay for a stamp at the post office) then yeah, the 450 is good for just a few lines for an address.
But the larger postal labels which you pay for online, require the larger surface area to contain proof of payment barcodes, and tracking information. So for those, you'll need the LabelWriter 4xl, link in description.
What if I print one out like that for a large letter that can fit in a PO BOX can I just stick it onto the parcel and put it in the PO BOX
Yes, you do not need to take your letter or parcel to a Post Office, if it is able to fit in a post box. You can just put this label on your letter/parcel and post it.
However, there are some exceptions. For example, if your postal label includes "Tracking". In such a case, you would need to have the post office scan the tracking barcode, to confirm that you have sent the item. Also, if your package contains certain items that are restricted, like batteries, or other high risk items, then those should always be taken to a post office so that they can ensure all laws and safety regulations are adhered to.
Hi, can you use the 450 for click and drop labels too??
The 450 is too small to accurately print the barcode on your postal label.
That barcode needs to be scannable by the post office, so that they can confirm you have paid for your label online.
The Dymo LabelWriter 4XL is the one I would recommend for you, and you can check the price via the link in the video description. :)
Hi could I ask if this process can be done from a phone

I've finally finished making a wireless adapter for the Dymo LabelWriter 4XL. Check the link, and you'll be able to use Android or iPhone/iPads with the Dymo LabelWriter 4XL. Check out the new CZcams video of me showing how it works!!
Do they have tracking info with it
Yes, if you pay for the tracking service, you can still print the label, and the tracking information will appear on the label. You will still need to drop it off at a post office, since they will need to scan that barcode and provide you with proof of postage (if required).
Can I get a similar one of these that connects to an iPhone pro max?

Do i need to buy Dymo 4XL to print out Royal Mail labels or could i buy Dymo 450?
Dymo 450 is too small for a full sized royal mail label, check the link in the video description for the latest price on the Dymo 4XL
After I print and package is ready what do i do go post office and give them my parcel
Yes, that would be the best option...
After you pay for that Online can you walk into any Royal Mail office and make then scan it
Yes you can. But, I just put smaller parcels into my nearest postbox, without needing to get them scanned.... Always delivers perfectly.
Have a look at the link in the video description, to check the latest price....
What if im sending a small letter, will i have to change the size of label in the printer and on the selection so that the label isn't bigger than the letter
Yes, just pop in the smaller postal labels, and select that size in the drop down box.
Or, you can leave the big one's in, select the smaller size in the drop down, and cut off the excess after printing on the larger label.
@@djtyros Thanks, is it possible to print royal mail labels onto smaller labels without the dymo 4xl? i tend to only send large letter size so dont need the full size labels but i do send most through royal mail?
Dose it have to be specific label or any label will work ?
The 4XL will handle many labels. Usually thats any label that is smaller than the large labels. The label spool holder, as an adjustment which allows the smaller sizes to print correctly.
Then just as you click print, you simply select your chosen label size from the list, and the software works out the rest automatically. :)
Hi, I sell on ebay and I am trying to get the SKU I have added to ebay listing on to my Royal Mail label (which will help me find the item quicker). Do you know of a way to do this? I don't seem to be able to do it when I buy label on ebay or directly from Royal Mail. I don't print packing slip, just label.
Yes, when you generate your postal label, before you print it, simply save it to your computer/device, and open that image in Paint (in Windows). Then click the "Add Text" button, paste or type your SKU, and print from there.
Just be sure that you dont accidently cover parts of the barcode or address with your SKU. And also, when you save the postal label as an image, make sure you are zoomed as much as your screen will allow you, to get the highest quality. Since if you're zoomed out all the way, the barcode and address will be too blurry to be scanned at the post office, and your label will be invalid, resulting in a lost package
I want to try this, as it's 50p cheaper than sending it at the post office.
The only snag as I see it .. although I could be wrong .. do I have to take the parcel to my local Royal Mail sorting office, which is several miles from my home, or can I drop it in at the PO ?
I suppose I could have asked at any PO, but I've just sold something today on ebay and ralise I've made a mistake regarding postage, so that 50p saving has kicked my brain into action
No, you do NOT need to take the parcel to a Post Office if the parcel will fit inside your local post box without getting stuck in the slot.
However, be aware that the postbox will not give you "Proof of postage". But some sellers will use their phone to video the parcel, and it's label, shown to be entering the post box.
Just a short 5-10 second video which shows the package, and the label with it's address, and your hand pushing the package in to the post box... If an item goes missing, that is usually enough proof that the package entered the postal network, and they should then honour a claim for any missing parcel, up to the value covered with your chosen label type.
I have a question when I use click and drop for international post the label isn't correct the text is landscape not portrait compared to the uk postage, how do I rotate the text for the international postage? on paypal it works fine but paypal likes to play up and refuse to do international postage every now and then, so I have to use click and drop....any suggestions?
Hi Gary, for this I would recommend taking a screen shot of the label, and paste it into the Dymo software.
From there you can rotate it either way.
If this doesn't solve the issue, you could paste the label into Windows Paint, and move things around in there.
(You can also print directly from Windows Paint)
It's a shame that some Postal Label Services do not allow you to customise the layout of the postal label.
It's worth pointing out, that this problem is down to the click and drop service, and the problem would exist on all Label Printers.
It might be worth dropping and email to Click & Drop, as they may be unaware of the issue.
Hope this helps, let me know if this works for you.
Thano you for the suggestions
Can this method be used instead of a franking machine?
Just trying to cut costs and thinking this could be the answer.
Essentially yes... You dont need to take everything to the post office, if the package will fit in the mail boxes, you can pop them in there.
Tracked items will need to be scanned at a post office, as usual.
And using the Dymo, it's faster than having the post office label up and charge you at the counter. You pay Royal Mail online for the label, and just hit print. Very quick way of doing it.
@@djtyros hi i understand you can not put tracked items in a parcel box but can you put signed for in the red parcel box?
what size is the label tape in this video

Hello! I have a question! My pdf from Click & Drop only gives me one page so doesn't separate the certificate of posting - it means even by printing only 1 page, i'm not getting just the print label. Also, my label size options aren't the size of the labels?! It seems I'm the only one having these probs - any guidance!? THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU'RE DOING TO HLEP!! soooo helpful.... all good karma to you! x
and they're printing super tiny... what on earth am i doing?! Send help!
@@joyjoy5390 Yes, open up the pdf you downloaded, and zoom in so that the postal label is the full size of the screen. Then take a screenshot, so that the image is saved in to your gallery as an image. Then, simply print that image.
Also, check that you have selected the 4x6" label size, as by default, your settings may have the smaller labels selected. Hope this helps!
How can you hide your return address?
Before printing, go to your device's gallery app, select the image saved to your device, tap edit, and use the drawing tool, to select white, and then draw over the return address. (Please remember to check the rules for the courier and country laws, as you may be required by law to display the correct return address.)
Link for the international printing? thx
Hi, could you elaborate your question. Thanks.
could you add your company logo?
Yes you can, the postage label is saved to your device, and your company logo should be saved to your device. You can then use free downloadable apps to overlay and scale your logo on to the label, before printing. Just be sure to use an empty area, and ensure that the QR code, address, and any other numbers or codes remain unchanged, and are clear to be read by the post office.
£156 now £200 lol
Yup, its now 204! The 5XL just got released, and people are complaining about it.... The 4XL still remains the best one on the market. Check the latest price here: amzn.to/3oRnfhR
