Where should I put a shipping label on a package or box? Place your shipping label on the side of the package with the largest and most visible surface. Labels can warp if placed on edges, making them unreadable to machines, to be sure not to wrap them around corners.

It doesn’t matter so much where you put it on your package. What’s more important is whether your barcode is scannable and unobstructed (assuming you print your label from a shipping label printer).

Can a shipping label be too small?
A normal shipping label is about 6″x4″. 7″x5″ is fine, too. It should be no bigger than a half a sheet of letter-sized paper (or A4 paper, if you’re not from the US). Bigger than that will still technically work, but the extra work they require may delay your package.
