Postage : Lowest Cost Ideas please

lolacherry

It’s a bit of a simple query.
my tiny hobby business is growing rapidly and I’m not about to become a full business.
I now need to start looking into making sure I don’t overspend.

my products are 90% of the time sent in C5 card envelopes which I have a great supplier but I want to find a quicker and cheaper option for postage.

I often just buy packs of 2nd class stamps from the post office but these are now running out fast and the post office is quite some distance away.
I have seen click and drop and see this can be posted in normal post boxes too which is perfect for me.

my query is, for those using this service, how do you print your labels? Does it only print on A5/A4? Is there a better label product which means I can print 4 labels per sheet? Can you use a dymo label printer for this which I have

i have plenty of A4 adhesive paper but I don’t want to waste too much if this can be printed on something smaller and cheaper.

thanks

Looking at this

https://business.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11803/~/click-&-drop-–-guide-to-printing-labels-and-despatching

it seems you can print several labels on one sheet.

I print onto A4 with one label per sheet and it prints a slip to be put inside the package at the bottom of the page.  I use clear windows which stick onto the packet and print onto plain paper so the toner cost is probably more significant than worrying about using a whole sheet of paper.
