How to print labels two per page
After a recent update, labels don't automatically format two-to-a-page anymore. The good news: it's a one-time, two-second fix you make right in your print settings — and it sticks for next time. Here's exactly where to tap.
- Hit Print on your label as usual
- In the print window, find the pages-per-sheet setting and change it to 2
- Print — you'll get two labels on one page, just like before
Why labels stopped doubling up
A platform update changed how the label PDF is generated, so it no longer pre-arranges two labels onto a single sheet for you. Nothing is broken — the labels themselves are exactly the same. You just need to tell your printer to fit two pages onto one sheet, which is a built-in option on every device.
On Mac
-
Open the label and click Print
From the label PDF, press ⌘ + P or choose File → Print to open the print dialog.
-
Open the "Layout" section
If you only see a small dialog, click Show Details at the bottom first. Then find the dropdown labeled Layout.
-
Set "Pages per Sheet" to 2
Inside Layout, change Pages per Sheet to 2. The preview on the left will update to show two labels on one page.
-
Click Print
That's it — two labels per page, ready to cut and stick.
On Windows
-
Open the label and click Print
From the label PDF, press Ctrl + P or click the print icon to open the print window.
-
Open "More settings" or "Page Setup"
In Chrome or Edge, click More settings to expand the options. In Adobe Reader, look for Page Sizing & Handling.
-
Set "Pages per sheet" to 2
Find the Pages per sheet dropdown and choose 2. In Adobe Reader, click the Multiple button and set Pages per sheet to 2.
-
Click Print
The preview on the right will now show two labels on one page. Print as normal — that's it.
On iPhone & iPad (iOS)
-
Open the label and tap the Share icon
Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow), then scroll down and tap Print.
-
Pinch the preview to open the full PDF
On the Printer Options screen, pinch outward on the label preview at the bottom — this opens the full-screen PDF view with a Share icon of its own.
-
Choose a layout of 2 pages per sheet
From here, tap Share → Print again, or send the PDF to your printer app. In the layout options, set Pages per Sheet (or 2-Up) to 2.
-
Tap Print
Two labels will land on a single page, ready to cut and stick.
Common questions
I don't see a "pages per sheet" option — where is it?
In Chrome or Edge it's hidden under More settings. In Adobe Reader it's under Page Sizing & Handling → Multiple. On a Mac it's in the dropdown that says "Layout." On iOS it depends on your printer — if it's missing, print the PDF from a computer instead.
Will the labels still scan correctly at two per page?
Yes. The barcode is unchanged — fitting two on a page only shrinks the white margins, not the label content. Carriers scan them exactly the same.
Can I get them to print two per page automatically again?
Not at the moment — the update changed how the PDF is built. The print-setting fix above is the recommended workaround, and it sticks on most printers once set.
Do I need special label paper for this?
No. Two-per-page works on regular paper or full-sheet label stock — you just cut between the two labels. The fix only changes how they're arranged on the page, not what you print on.
