What it is
Labelbench turns sender, recipient and parcel details into a printable 100 × 150 mm label. It formats the address the way the destination country’s post office expects, prints a Code 128 barcode of your own order reference, and adds a CN22 customs declaration when the parcel needs one.
It exists because small brands kept solving this with a word processor. A hand-typed label in the wrong address order gets misrouted, and a missing customs form gets a parcel returned. Both are avoidable with a template that knows the rules.
What it is not
It is not a carrier. It does not buy postage, book collections, or issue tracking numbers. A tracking number can only be created by DHL, FedEx, UPS or a national post against an account held with them, so no third-party website can produce a genuine carrier label.
The intended workflow is simple: print the Labelbench label, tape it to the box, and add the carrier’s own tracking label beside it when you hand the parcel over.
Where the data comes from
The address layout for each destination follows the Universal Postal Union’s addressing standards, which is why the country name prints in English capitals on the last line: that is what lets the exporting post office sort an item without reading the destination’s script.
The per-country notes are researched one country at a time and checked against the national postal operator’s own published guidance, not against other websites. Each one states two or three concrete rules a sender could get wrong, and countries where we could not verify the rules carry no note at all. A confidently wrong addressing rule gets parcels returned, which is worse for you than silence.
Some things are deliberately absent. There are no de-minimis thresholds, VAT rates, transit times or prohibited-item lists here, because those change often enough that any figure published on a page like this would be misleading within months. Where a number matters, the guides say to check it against a current source rather than quoting one.
How it works
Everything runs in your browser. There is no account, no server-side processing, and no upload. The address rules for 138 destinations and the barcode encoder are part of the page you have already downloaded, which is why it keeps working with the network off.
Your label history and saved sender address are stored by your browser on your own device. Clearing your browsing data deletes them, and nobody else, ourselves included, can read them.
The barcode and QR encoders are written from the published standards rather than pulled in as third-party code, because the label is drawn both when the page is built and again in your browser, and a component that behaved differently in those two places would produce a defect nobody would notice until a parcel came back.
What it costs
Nothing, and there is no paid tier, no trial and no account to close. The tool is complete as you find it.
Running the site costs a domain and hosting. The intention is to cover that with advertising in future, which is why this page mentions it rather than leaving you to wonder. Nothing you type into the generator would be shared with an advertiser, because nothing you type into the generator leaves your device at all. If and when advertising appears, the privacy policy will be updated before the first ad renders, not after.
Who runs it
This site is operated by Labelbench, and it is built and maintained by one person rather than a company. It began because small brands kept solving this problem with a word processor, and because the parts that go wrong, address order and customs paperwork, are exactly the parts a template can get right every time.
Corrections are genuinely welcome and are acted on. Postal rules change, operators get renamed, countries adopt new currencies, and carriers change which customs form they accept. If something here is wrong for a destination you ship to regularly, please write in at hello@labelbench.com and say which country and what the correct rule is.
