Best label printer for Vinted

Some Vinted carriers give you a QR code that the drop-off point or locker scans, and the label comes from them. Others send a label you print at home and stick on the bag. Vinted’s help centre lists which works for each carrier, so check it before you assume you need a printer.

Count your last month of sales. If most went by QR, skip the printer. If half or more needed a printed label, a thermal printer saves you the trip to a print shop and the hassle of the home inkjet.

Most Vinted selling happens in the app, so the label often lands on your phone first. Save it as a PDF and send it to the printer, either through the maker’s app or by opening it on a laptop.

Print your first label as a test and check it comes out at 100 × 150 mm and fills the sticker.

If you list in bursts, twenty items one weekend and nothing for a fortnight, the printer sits unused for days. Choose a small printer that starts quickly after a long gap and takes a standard roll.

Keep the labels in their bag between sessions and out of direct sun, because thermal paper fades.

Most Vinted parcels are folded clothing in a grey mailing bag, which takes a label flat. Stick it on the smooth side away from the seal so it does not wrap over the fold.

For QR parcels, write the order name on the bag in pen before you leave, so you can tell two similar bags apart. The drop-off point prints the label for you.
