How to Print Aras Kargo Shipping Labels (2026 Seller Guide)

Aras Kargo is one of Turkey's largest cargo carriers, used by hundreds of thousands of e-commerce sellers daily. Whether you're shipping from Trendyol, Hepsiburada, ikas, Shopify or your own website, you'll need to print Aras Kargo shipping labels correctly to avoid delivery problems. This guide covers every method — from manual label download to fully automated bulk printing with a thermal printer.

What is an Aras Kargo Shipping Label?

An Aras Kargo shipping label is the printed barcode slip attached to each shipment. It contains:

• Shipment barcode — scanned at every point in the delivery chain
• Sender and recipient address
• Tracking number
• Service type (next day, economy, etc.)
• Sort codes — routing info for Aras Kargo hubs

Aras Kargo labels are typically printed on 100×150mm (4"×6") thermal sticker paper, which fits standard thermal label printers like Zebra ZD220, TSC TE210, or Bixolon SLP-DX220.

Method 1: Manual Label Download from Aras Kargo Seller Panel

The easiest starting point is the Aras Kargo business portal. Here's the step-by-step process:

Step 1: Log into the Aras Kargo Seller Portal

Go to kurumsal.araskargo.com.tr and log in with your corporate account credentials. If you don't have a corporate account, contact Aras Kargo's sales team to set one up — you'll get better rates than walk-in pricing.

Step 2: Create a New Shipment

Navigate to Gönderi Oluştur (Create Shipment). Fill in:

• Recipient name, address, city, phone number
• Package weight and dimensions (affects pricing)
• Service type: Standard, Same-Day (if available in origin city), or Cargo-to-Branch
• Desi (volumetric weight) if the package is large but light

Step 3: Print the Label

After creating the shipment, Aras generates a PDF label. Click Barkod Yazdır (Print Barcode). You have two options:

• A4 print: Print the label on a regular printer. Cut and tape/fold onto the package.
• Thermal label print: For professional printing on 100×150mm thermal labels. This requires configuring your browser print settings to scale 100% and selecting your thermal printer. More on this below.

Method 2: Printing Aras Kargo Labels from Marketplace Panels

If you sell on Turkish marketplaces, Aras Kargo is often pre-integrated as a shipping option. Here's how it works per platform:

Trendyol + Aras Kargo

Trendyol has a direct integration with Aras Kargo. When a customer places an order, you can create a Yurtiçi, Aras, or MNG label directly from the Trendyol Seller Panel:

1. Go to Siparişlerim → find your pending order
2. Select your cargo company (Aras Kargo if contracted)
3. Click Kargo Etiketi Oluştur
4. Download the PDF label

For sellers shipping high volumes on Trendyol, manual downloading is extremely slow. See the Trendyol shipping label guide for bulk printing solutions.

Hepsiburada + Aras Kargo

Hepsiburada's seller panel supports Aras Kargo label generation. Under Kargo Etiketleri, select your orders and choose Aras as the carrier. Labels download as a ZIP file containing individual PDFs — one per order.

ikas + Aras Kargo

ikas stores can connect to Aras Kargo through the ikas shipping integrations section. Once connected, labels are created automatically when you mark orders as "shipped." See the ikas label printing guide for setup details.

WooCommerce + Aras Kargo

For WooCommerce stores, Aras Kargo provides a plugin or you can use third-party shipping plugins that support Aras. The LabelInn WooCommerce integration can pull orders and auto-generate Aras labels directly. See the WooCommerce label guide.

Method 3: Direct Aras Kargo API Integration

Large-volume sellers (300+ shipments/day) should use the Aras Kargo API directly. The API lets you:

• Create shipments programmatically
• Generate barcode/label data as binary or base64 PDF
• Query tracking status
• Get proof of delivery
• Cancel shipments

Getting API Access

Contact your Aras Kargo account manager and request API credentials. You'll receive:

• API username and password
• Customer number (Müşteri Kodu)
• WSDL endpoint URL for the SOAP-based web service

API Label Generation

The Aras Kargo API is SOAP/XML-based. The key method is SetOrder, which creates a shipment and returns a barcode. To get the physical label, call GetBarcode with the resulting tracking number — it returns a base64-encoded PDF that you decode and send to your thermal printer.

Method 4: Automated Bulk Printing with LabelInn

For sellers processing 20+ orders daily, manual label handling becomes a time drain. LabelInn solves this by integrating directly with Turkish marketplaces and cargo carriers — including Aras Kargo — to automate the entire label workflow.

How LabelInn + Aras Kargo Works

1. Connect your stores: Link your Trendyol, Hepsiburada, ikas, Shopify, or WooCommerce stores to LabelInn in one step.
2. Orders appear automatically: LabelInn fetches pending orders from all connected stores in real-time.
3. Select Aras Kargo: Choose Aras Kargo as the carrier for each order (or set it as default per store).
4. One-click print: LabelInn generates the Aras Kargo barcode, formats it for your thermal printer size (100×150mm, 100×100mm, etc.), and sends it directly to your printer.
5. Tracking updated: The tracking number is sent back to the marketplace automatically so customers can track their order.

Time Savings

The typical manual process for one Aras Kargo label takes 3–4 minutes per order (log in, find order, create shipment, download PDF, open, print). With LabelInn, it's 3 seconds per label. For 50 daily orders, that's ~2.5 hours saved every single day.

How to Configure Your Thermal Printer for Aras Kargo Labels

Aras Kargo's standard label size is 100×150mm. Configure your thermal printer as follows:

Zebra Printers (ZD220, ZD421, GK420d)

1. Open Zebra Setup Utilities or Zebra Printer Preferences
2. Set stock size to 100mm × 150mm
3. Set darkness to 15–18 (adjust based on print quality)
4. Set print speed to 3–4 ips for best barcode quality
5. Enable "Print Optimized" mode if available

TSC Printers (TE210, TE310, TTP-247)

1. Open TSC Console or Windows printer preferences
2. Set label size: Width 100mm, Height 150mm
3. Set sensing mode to Gap (standard labels with gaps)
4. Darkness: 12–15 (TSC scale); adjust until barcodes scan reliably

Bixolon Printers (SLP-DX220, SLP-DX420)

1. Use Bixolon UPOS or Windows printer preferences
2. Set paper size to 100×150mm continuous roll
3. Darkness: medium-high setting

Common Aras Kargo Label Problems and Solutions

Problem: Label barcode doesn't scan at drop-off

Cause: Faded print, wrong label size, or smudged barcode.
Fix: Increase printer darkness, ensure you're using 100×150mm thermal labels (not regular paper), and avoid touching the barcode before it dries. See our faded label fix guide.

Problem: "Gönderi Bulunamadı" (Shipment Not Found) error after scanning

Cause: Label was generated but upload to Aras system failed.
Fix: Re-create the shipment in the seller panel. If using an API, check the API response for errors — sometimes network timeout causes the shipment to be created locally but not registered in Aras's system.

Problem: Label prints on A4 paper from browser

Fix: When printing the PDF from your browser, go to print settings → Paper Size → select "Custom" and enter 100×150mm. Uncheck "Fit to page" and set scale to 100%. Alternatively, use LabelInn which handles label sizing automatically.

Problem: Wrong address or weight on the label

Fix: You cannot edit an Aras Kargo label after creation. You must cancel the original shipment in the Aras portal and recreate it with the correct information. Some marketplace integrations allow address correction before label generation.

Aras Kargo Delivery Areas and Service Types

Aras Kargo covers all 81 provinces in Turkey with their net kargo service, plus offers:

• Aras Express: Same-day or next-day delivery in major cities (Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa)
• Standard (Normal): 1–3 business days countrywide
• Economy: 3–5 business days, lower cost for non-urgent shipments
• Cargo-to-Branch (Şubeye Teslim): Customer picks up from nearest Aras branch — costs less than door delivery

The service type is encoded in the shipping label's barcode, so it's important to select the right service when creating the shipment — not just for routing, but because Aras will charge you based on the service level.

Conclusion

Printing Aras Kargo labels efficiently is critical for any Turkish e-commerce seller. Whether you're processing 5 orders a day (use the seller panel) or 500 (use the API + LabelInn automation), the key is to eliminate the manual PDF-download-and-print cycle that wastes hours every week.

With LabelInn, you connect your marketplaces once, and all Aras Kargo labels are generated and printed automatically as orders arrive — on any thermal printer, on Windows, Mac, or even from your phone. Start free and see how much time you save.
