How to Format a Shipping Label for FedEx

Formatting FedEx shipping labels using the FedEx website simplifies the shipping process and ensures that your labels meet FedEx guidelines. FedEx Ship Manager lets you create shipment profiles for repeat shipments to the same address and includes an online address book and address checker to prevent delivery problems. FedEx's online system also streamlines multiple-piece shipment by allowing you to format and save labels for up to 25 separate packages.
