•   Once you print your shipping label, cut the label on the dotted line in the middle of the paper.
•   Affix the top portion of the shipping label to the package so it does not wrap around edges or corners.
•   Be sure you sign the Customs portion of the shipping label in the Signature of Sender area for US and international shipping labels, if required.
