I think they're referring to customer mailing labels. The File > Print Forms > Labels > Select Labels to Print doesn't give you an option to select the 1" x 2 5/8" standard mailing labels that most of us use. Can we change the label size or is there another place to print address labels from that will allow us to select the label size?
Thanks for joining this thread. Allow me to address your concern, so let me get this straightened out.
As of now, there isn't an option to change the size of the label format in QuickBooks. For the meantime, you can select the available label format when printing forms by following the steps you provided.

I have a question along the same lines as this. I am wanting to print custom shipping labels, not through QB shipping manager (UPS, FEDEX,USPS) I want to be able to print on a Direct Thermal Printer (roll labels) that are 4" x 3" with my company info pre-printed at the top of the roll labels and then have QB populate the lower 50% to 75% of the label with Customer's Name, to whom the package is delivering to, shipping address, CSZ, phone number and PO Number if applicable. I could do this with my old proprietary accounting system but I have not been able to figure out how to do this with QB Enterprise 20.0 - It would be nice if there was a place for a Label Template just like there is a section for Custom Form Templates. Where you could select text boxes to populate with what pertinent information you want or need to print on the label and where you want it to print onto that label.
To answer your questions about printing shipping labels with the customer logo is no, Brian.
If you want, export the customer list and get their shipping information. I'll show you how.
Go to the Reports menu.
Run the Customer Contact List report.
Click the Export icon.
Choose Export to Excel.
Then, use the Mail Merge to display your customer's logo. You can google the information to display videos and instructions if you don't know how to produce a letter merge.

I have followed the steps to print labels from QB desktop. We have 2021. It doesn't seem to matter if I pick all customers, multiple by name or zip. All that generates is a list of phone numbers in the label format.
I appreciate you performing the steps that my colleagues have provided above, and I'm here to share information about printing labels in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
An outdated QuickBooks version can be one of the reasons why printing labels is behaving unusually. To isolate this, let's make sure your QuickBooks file is up-to-date.
Here's how to update:
1. Close your company file(s), then close QuickBooks. 2. Right-click the QuickBooks Desktop icon on your desktop, then select Run as administrator. 3. While on the No Company Open screen, go to the Help menu, then choose Update QuickBooks... 4. Go to the Options tab, and select Mark All. then select Save. 5. Go to the Update Now tab, then mark the Reset Update box. 6. Select the Get Updates button.
7. When Update Complete appears, close QuickBooks Desktop. 8. Reopen QuickBooks Desktop. If you get the message to install the update, select Yes. 9. When the installation is complete, restart your computer.
Once the update is done, I recommend reviewing your customers' information. It could be that there are missing data in their profiles, that's why they're not showing when printing the labels in QBDT.
Moreover, I'll also share this link where you can search for articles that can serve as your reference in managing your QBDT file: QuickBooks Desktop Help Articles.
I'm looking forward to getting this resolved. Feel free to leave a reply if you require further assistance with printing labels in QBDT. The Community team always has your back. Keep safe.
You can print customer adress labels directly form quickBooks, but it might require a bit of tweaking. Lemme explain. QuickBooks lets you create and print labels using the customer list. You'd go to the customer center, pick the customers you want, and use the "mailing labels" or "labels" option under file > print forms. But customizing the output can be tricky if you need specific size formats or custom fields. Yeah, it's one of those things where you think, "Why isn't this simple?"
When you hit that wall, exporting your data to excel and using something like avery design & print can be a workaround. It gives you more flexibility with label size and layout. Sure, it's a little manual, but if you're looking for a neat, professional look or need to add special info, it's worth it. I had to tweak this once and it did save a bunch of time laterr.
Also, keeping data accurate is key, especially if addresses keep changing. Syncing with a warehouse management system could help keep things up-to-date and reduce mistakes. Such integrations might seem like a hassle but save you headaches when printing labels.
