Shipping & Fulfillment Hardware FAQ
Common Shipping & Fulfillment Hardware Questions
What hardware is needed for a shipping station?
Most stations use a 4-inch label printer, barcode scanner, shipping scale and computer or tablet. Accessories may include scanner stands, mounts and label dispensers.
Should I use a desktop or industrial shipping printer?
Desktop printers fit low-to-medium volume stations. Industrial printers are better for continuous operation, large rolls and high daily label volumes.
What scanner works best for packing?
Presentation scanners are efficient for hands-free pack verification. Cordless scanners provide more flexibility around large cartons and pallets.
How do I choose a shipping scale?
Match scale capacity, platform size, readability and software interface to the packages you ship.
Can printers be shared across packing stations?
Yes. Ethernet and network-connected printers can support shared workflows when the shipping software is configured appropriately.
What labels are used for shipping?
Most carrier labels are 4 x 6 direct thermal labels, but carton, pallet, return and specialty labels may require different sizes or adhesives.
Can hardware be standardized across locations?
Yes. Standardized workstations simplify training, support, replacement devices and peak-season expansion.
Are fulfillment bundles available?
Yes. Bundles can combine the printer, scanner, scale, labels and workstation accessories.
