Looking for an even smaller label.

I see the thread about printing different size labels, but the boxes I use are 4 x 4. Is it okay to wrap the label,as long as the bar code is all on one side?

Please pardon me if this is a dumb question but, with a label, shouldn't ALL of the information in the address be all on the same side?

I just place the label so that the corner of the box doesn't interfere with the barcode.  So the address and stuff on one side, and the large barcode would be on the next side. If that makes sense. Never had an issue in those cases.

I might have an example.  Let me check my pictures.

You also can change the scale of the label when you go to print it.

Normally the scale is 100%.  But you can reduce that to a smaller number.  The problem is, the resolution of the print will get lower and some printers may screw up some of the barcoding if you change that scale too much.  So I wouldn't do that.  But it is an option.

Ideally that would be the way. 

I do USPS

I do 4 X 4 X 4 boxes, but I print on plain paper so I can do a label that fits.

I see an ad on TV for a shipping service where they wrap the label over to be on two sides. I cringe each time I see it, but it's OK. 

The scanned barcode does the work to get packages routed.

I have done that exactly the same way for years and never had a problem.

Yes, another vote for it being fine to wrap the label around the edge of the box. I don’t think it would work on a 4 x 4, but I have trimmed the top and bottom so that the entire label will fit onto one side of the box.

To add here.  

I have received a 4 X 4 X 4 return with a PO, likely QR code generated, label folded over the edge of the box.

I got it, so it does work OK that way.
