Sender
Full sender name and address, billing account number when using third-party billing, and a contact phone number for delivery exceptions.
An accurate label reduces delivery delays, prevents misroutes, and ensures correct billing and customs clearance. It preserves chain-of-custody for loss or damage claims and supports traceability across carrier systems and third-party logistics platforms.
Many organizations generate UPS labels as part of daily shipping operations; responsibilities vary by size and role.
Responsibility usually falls to the shipper or designated logistics staff; final verification often occurs at the packing station or carrier drop-off.
Full sender name and address, billing account number when using third-party billing, and a contact phone number for delivery exceptions.
Complete recipient name and delivery address, plus contact phone and delivery notes such as 'suite' or 'attn' to avoid returns.
High-contrast scannable barcode or QR code encoding the tracking number and routing data; place on a flat surface without wrinkles or creases.
Clear service descriptor such as UPS Ground or UPS Next Day Air and any promised delivery window or guaranteed service indicator.
Declared shipment weight and dimensions; carriers bill on actual or dimensional weight, whichever is higher.

A logistics manager or operations director typically has authority to approve shipping labels, control billing accounts, and attest to proper packaging and hazardous materials declarations when required.
An authorized shipper or designee on the company account may generate and sign labels on behalf of the organization, provided internal delegation and audit trails document the authorization.
