How to print Evri labels at home or in a ParcelShop

Print your Evri label from the booking, use a QR code at an equipped ParcelShop or Locker, and recover a missing label or code without buying postage again.

Check who issued your Evri label

An Evri logo tells you which carrier handles the parcel. The place you booked it tells you where to find the label and what to do if it goes missing. Start with your Evri booking confirmation if you booked directly. For a retailer return, use the return instructions and confirmation. For a marketplace sale, open that order and check the label or code there.

Pack the parcel before you weigh and measure it. If you are booking a direct shipment and want to print in a shop, pick the appropriate drop-off option and check which locations can print before choosing one. For an existing booking, follow the service shown on it. A retailer return or marketplace order may offer different handover options from a direct shipment.

Print the Evri label at home

For direct Evri postage, open the printable label after payment or find the copy in the confirmation email. Evri’s home printing instructions point to Adobe Reader. Open the downloaded label, select the right printer and check the preview. Compare the paper size in the print settings with the file page size and the sheet or label you actually loaded.

If the file is laid out on A4, an ordinary printer is the simplest starting point. Print one copy, check that the address and barcode are fully visible and trim any excess paper without cutting through the label. Evri says to secure paper labels with clear tape around the edges and to remove older labels from reused packaging.

Evri’s direct account advertises several print layouts, including a thermal printer option. Check the format available for the booking you actually use before buying stock. If the resulting file and printer both call for exact four-by-six-inch direct thermal labels, this fanfold pack is one option for a matching external-feed printer. For an A4 file, use the sheet workflow or select an appropriate output through the issuer when available. Shrinking the full sheet can shrink the barcode as well.

Keep in mind. Check the actual printer’s width, gap sensing and feed instructions. These open-format labels are a different system from Brother DK holders and DYMO’s Series 5 authenticated rolls.

Use Print In ParcelShop when your booking supplies a code

  1. Open the Print In ParcelShop QR code from the booking confirmation and take the packed parcel to a location listed with a printing device.
  2. Scan the code at the device. For direct Evri bookings with a backup code, you can type the six-character code supplied for the shop printer if scanning fails.
  3. Attach the printed sticky label and hand the parcel to staff. Keep the receipt or confirmation for that parcel.

If the device is out of service, try another equipped location that accepts your booking or use home printing if your order offers it. A QR code for the printer is a way to obtain the parcel label. The printed label carries the information needed for handover and delivery.

Follow the instructions for the Locker booking

Evri describes a print-at-Locker workflow for suitable bookings. The QR code produces a label at the terminal. Attach the label, then use its barcode to open the compartment, or use the barcode number if the terminal offers manual entry. Put one parcel in the compartment and close the door. Keep the confirmation.

Check the location and what the booking says to do before placing the parcel inside. The print code and the barcode on the printed label serve different purposes. Other carriers’ label-free locker workflows can work differently.

Recover a lost label or print code

For a direct Evri order, check the confirmation email, then go to Order History. Evri says to choose Print Label to get a home printout. For the in-store code, its recovery guide shows how to use the invoice number to return to the booking confirmation page and find the code. Keep that number private and enter it only on Evri’s own site.

If the print is clipped, first compare the PDF and the paper size. If the printer left the label blank, check whether the paper is loaded on the correct side and whether it matches the printer technology. Once the label prints correctly, use one copy for the booked parcel. If an order detail is wrong, check the issuer’s instructions for changing the booking before handing it over.

Evri instructions

Common questions

Can I send an Evri parcel without a printer?

Yes, when your booking provides a compatible print-in-store or Locker QR code. Check the location and service in your instructions before leaving with the parcel.

Does every Evri ParcelShop print labels?

Evri says most ParcelShops have the device. Check the location finder for a Print In ParcelShop location, and have another eligible location in mind if the machine is unavailable.

What if the Print In ParcelShop QR code will not scan?

For a direct Evri booking, enter the six-character Print In ParcelShop code if provided. For a marketplace order, use the backup code supplied for that order and follow the platform’s instructions.

Can I use a thermal printer for an Evri label?

Evri advertises thermal options in its own account printer settings. Check the output your specific booking supplies. Match its page size to the stock and printer settings, and use an ordinary sheet printer if the file is intended for a sheet.

Can Evri Order History recover a label bought on Vinted or eBay?

The recovery instructions in this guide apply to a booking made directly with Evri. For a marketplace purchase, start with the original sale or return and use that platform’s label and support workflow.
