Label Bridge for Windows

Any page in. A perfect 4x6 out.

Print any shipping label from any site to your thermal printer. It finds the label, straightens it, crops it, prints it. Nothing leaves your computer.

14 days, every feature on. No account, no card needed.

Before: a letter-size page with a packing slip, an advert, and a shipping label printed at a tilt. After: the same label on its own, upright, filling a 4x6 label, with its barcode checked as readable. Before After

Drag to compare. Everything outside the label is dropped, and the label is turned upright and checked before it prints.

Why it exists

For the labels that break everything else.

eBay and Amazon already have a 4x6 option. Plenty of senders don't. If you sell on several channels, dropship, or get labels from suppliers, Label Bridge gives you one place to print all of them.

An A4 sheet holding four labels, split into four separate 4x6 labels.

Sheets of four come out as four labels

Royal Mail Click & Drop A4 four-up sheets are split into four separate 4x6 labels, each one cropped and printed on its own.

Emailed supplier PDFs

A full page with the label somewhere on it, next to a packing slip or an advert. It finds the label and ignores the rest.

30°

Crooked scans, straightened

Labels scanned or photographed at an angle are turned upright. Tested up to 30 degrees of tilt.

Return slips left out

It recognises a returns slip with its own barcode and doesn't print it. Only the shipping label goes to the printer.

Labels from your phone

Save a label into a OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox folder on your phone and it prints on your PC at home.

Every platform, one printer setting

Print from eBay, PayPal, Amazon, ShipStation, Click & Drop or any PDF viewer. You set up Label Bridge once instead of finding the 4x6 option on six different sites.

Works with the printer you already have

Rollo, Zebra, Munbyn, Polono, Phomemo, and any other 4x6 label printer Windows can print to.

Real output

What goes in, and what comes out.

These are Label Bridge's own results on our test pages, not mock-ups. The addresses are made up.

Before: a letter-size page with a shipping label in the top-left corner and empty space around it. After: the same label on its own, filling a 4x6.
A label on a letter page. It finds the label in the corner of the page and prints just that, at full 4x6 size.
Before: a shipping label scanned at a 30 degree tilt on a letter page. After: the label printed straight at 4x6 with a readable barcode.
A crooked scan. Tilted 30 degrees, straightened before printing, and the barcode checked.
Before: an A4 sheet holding four shipping labels in a two by two grid. After: four separate 4x6 labels.
A four-up sheet. An A4 sheet with four labels becomes four separate 4x6 labels, in order.

How it works

  1. Install it. Label Bridge adds a virtual printer to Windows, next to your real printers.
  2. Print to it. From any app, choose the Label Bridge printer in the normal print dialog.
  3. It comes out of your label printer. Found, cropped, straightened, scaled to 4x6 and printed. A PDF copy is kept too.

It won't print a label it can't read.

A label with an unreadable barcode can get your parcel rejected. Label Bridge checks the barcode before printing. If it can't read it, it holds the label for you to look at instead of using up a label on it.

You get a notification, the label waits in a review folder, and you decide what happens next. What to do when a label is held.

Built the careful way

Your buyers' addresses stay on your PC.

Nothing is uploaded

Labels are processed on your own computer. There's no online service and no account. Licence checks happen offline too. Our privacy policy.

No extra printer driver

It uses the Microsoft Print to PDF driver that comes with Windows. Windows is phasing out third-party printer drivers, and tools built on them will run into that.

Zebra with no driver at all

It works with any label printer installed in Windows. For Zebra printers on your network, it can send labels straight to the printer without a Zebra driver.

Also included

  • Whole-page mode per folder: prints packing slips as they are, without looking for a label.
  • Automatic archive: every label is saved as a 4x6 PDF with the date and time in its name.
  • Watched folders: anything saved into a chosen folder is printed automatically.
  • Tidy by default: old archived labels are deleted on a schedule you set.

Orthic is one person. I build small tools and test them against the awkward cases: the crooked scan, the supplier PDF with three things on the page, the sheet of four.

Being small is also why the download isn't code-signed yet. The certificate is a real yearly cost, and I'd rather tell you that than hide it. It's also why, when you email support, you hear from the person who wrote the software.

Questions

Will it work with my labels?

That's what the trial is for. It's tested with eBay, PayPal, Amazon, Royal Mail Click & Drop, ShipStation and a range of supplier PDFs, but not every carrier and layout in existence. Print a few of your own labels during the 14 days and you'll know.

Does it upload my labels anywhere?

No. Everything happens on your PC. It doesn't need an internet connection to process labels, and checking your licence key happens offline too.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once and keep using the version you bought.

Can I use it on more than one PC?

Yes. Your licence covers one person, on computers you own or that are issued for your own use. It isn't tied to one machine, and it's registered to you by name and email. It isn't a team licence: everyone who uses Label Bridge needs their own. Activate each of your PCs while your key is fresh. See the licence agreement.

Does it work on a Mac?

Not currently. Label Bridge is Windows only.

Why does Windows warn me when I download it?

Label Bridge isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows a warning the first time you run it. The download page shows what you'll see and how to continue.
