Label printers handle your delivery labels, message cards, and relay order labels for relay orders. Brother QL is our primary recommendation — the 62mm rolls are the right size for gift labels, message cards, and the smaller delivery labels florists actually use day-to-day. Zebra is supported as the alternative if you already own one or want a network-only setup.

​
What to buy

For most florists, a Brother QL-820NWB with 62mm DK-22205 continuous rolls is the right starting point — it covers delivery labels, message cards, and relay order labels on one roll.

Supported models

Brother QL printers print via Windows or macOS. Install Brother’s official driver first, then Connect picks the printer up from your operating system’s printer list.

Zebra printers connect over your network — Connect discovers them automatically, or you can enter the IP address by hand. They print to wider thermal stock and are a good fit if you already use Zebras for other workflows. If you’re buying new, the ZD421 or ZD621 replaces the older ZD420/ZD620.
Zebra printers must have a built-in cutter. Choose a cutter variant — without one, every label has to be torn off by hand, which slows the till and gets messy on continuous stock. If you’re buying new, confirm the cutter is included before ordering.

​
Label sizes

Connect sizes labels to the roll you’ve loaded — it isn’t tied to a shipping-label format.
PrinterWhat Connect prints
Brother QL-810W / QL-820NWB62mm wide. Delivery labels shrink to fit their content; message cards and relay order labels use the full label length.
Brother QL-1110NWB~102mm wide rolls.
ZebraSized to the label stock loaded in the printer — pick the matching stock under Settings > Printers.
You can change the loaded stock in Settings > Printers > your label printer. For Brother, stick with DK-22205 unless you specifically need a different roll.

Connection methods

PrinterHow it connects
Brother QLVia Windows or macOS. Install Brother’s driver first, then Connect uses your computer’s printer list.
ZebraNetwork (Ethernet or Wi-Fi). Connect discovers them automatically, or enter the IP address manually.
For Zebra, plugging into the router with an Ethernet cable is the most reliable option — Wi-Fi works, but a wired connection rarely drops.

​
Label types Connect prints

  • Delivery labels — recipient name, address, order number, fulfilment type (delivery or collection), and a scannable QR code linking to the order
  • Message labels — gift card messages with a choice of font family (cursive, sans-serif, and bundled Arabic and Chinese fallbacks)
  • Relay order labels — for relay orders (Interflora, eFlorist), showing the relay name and fulfilment details
If you prefer Digital Florists’ classic landscape layout for delivery labels, you can switch it on under Settings > Printers — see Connect settings for the toggle.

​
Barcodes and QR codes

All supported label printers handle barcode and QR code printing out of the box. Delivery labels include a QR code by default that links straight to the order, which is handy for drivers scanning labels off the manifest while they’re out on the round. See Barcode scanners for the scanner side of things.

​
Common questions

For the QL-810W and QL-820NWB, use 62mm continuous DK rolls — DK-22205 (black-on-white) is the standard florist choice and works for delivery labels, message cards, and relay order labels off the same roll. For the QL-1110NWB, use the wider 102mm DK rolls.
Network is the recommended way to talk to a Zebra. USB works on some models, but Connect’s discovery is built for network printers — for the most reliable setup, plug your Zebra into the router.
Most will, via the generic Zebra profile. We only guarantee the models listed above, but the GK and ZD series share enough internals that many generic models print fine. Email us if you want to check before buying.
No. Receipt printers and label printers use different paper sizes and different printing methods. You’ll need a separate device for each.
