To help you get the most from our services, we’ll walk you through the process and explain what information is shown on your Bitcoin Postage label, ensuring you’re well-informed while enjoying the liberating experience of putting your crypto to use.
How Do Prepaid Shipping Labels Work?
Prepaid shipping labels give you the freedom to weigh your package, pay for shipping, and print your shipping label without waiting in line at a shipping company to do it for you. Here are a few tips to bear in mind:
- We recommend rounding up your package weight to ensure the cost is fully covered.
- Measure the length, width, and height of your package to make sure it aligns with your shipping carrier’s guidelines.
- Although Bitcoin Postage and other sellers of prepaid shipping labels may allow you to print them multiple times in case of issues, each label can only be used once.
- If you want to use your crypto to purchase a prepaid shipping label, Bitcoin Postage is the answer.
What Does a Shipping Label Look Like?
A shipping label's specific appearance and layout design differ slightly depending on which carrier service you’re using.
The following is one example of the information shown on your Bitcoin Postage label, based on USPS Priority Mail:
As you can see, your shipping label includes your name and address. In case the package is damaged or lost, or the recipient never receives the package, it can be returned to you.
In this sample USPS label, you can see two code boxes similar to QR codes in addition to a traditional-looking barcode. These are called two-dimensional Intelligent Mail matrix barcodes.
These help ensure accurate scans for packages with surfaces that don’t scan traditional barcodes well.
At the top right of the shipping label, you can see validation that the label you’ve printed out covers all costs for shipping the package. In essence, the label itself acts as the stamp or proof that the postage is paid.
In the “SHIP TO” section, you have the name and address of the package’s recipient.

Why Use Crypto to Pay for Your Shipping?
Crypto enthusiasts share a common, underlying ethos that decentralization leads to freedom. Using cryptocurrency for everyday payments can be liberating because it lets you enjoy the convenience of digital payments without having to rely on a third-party platform where you’re expected to enter your sensitive financial data.
Using crypto to ship packages is fast, affordable, and safer than more conventional digital payment options. When you enter your personal information and credit card details on websites, that’s data that can be hacked or stolen.
Although the shipping carrier might ask for a return name and address, Bitcoin Postage respects your privacy. With crypto, you’re paying straight from your crypto wallet without sharing your name, social security number, address, or any personally identifiable data.
