Shoebox Label Options
Printable Labels
If you’re in a rush or only plan to pack a few boxes, use the calculator below to get a printable shoebox label that allows for Follow Your Box tracking.
Labeling Instructions
As you checkout, print your unique label or save it to your computer. A receipt with your label will also be sent to your email address.
Take care not to cover the barcode with tape or damage it in any way as this can affect scanning. If your label is ripped or separated from the shoebox in the packing process, it may prevent us from letting you know where your gift will be delivered to a child in need.
The email receipt containing your label also will provide a link back to this page so you can discover the destination of your shoebox!
If you prefer not to make your $10 donation per shoebox online, you can also download and print our basic labels.
Get Labels
To make sure your shoebox gift gets to a child of the right gender and age, Samaritan’s Purse offers some different label options. Labels also offer a way for you to give the necessary $10 donation per shoebox to provide for collection, processing, shipping, and other project costs. If you donate online in either of the ways outlined below, the labels allow you to Follow Your Box and find out the country where your box will be delivered with the message of Christ’s love. Just check back on this page later to learn the destination of your box.
Adhesive Labels
Our adhesive labels are great if you’re planning ahead and packing 50 or more boxes, but if
you’re filling some at the last minute, the printable options work best. This option makes shoebox
packing even easier—just order, peel, and attach—and your gift is ready to be dropped off at a local
collection site. If you want to donate your $10 per shoebox and Follow Your Box, simply go through
the steps below to activate the tracking feature of the label.
Note: You can still use this label even if you choose not to activate the tracking.

A set of 50 adhesive labels will make your packing parties even easier! After shoebox gifts are uniquely packed and prayed over, just apply a label and mark the correct gender and age of the intended recipient. If you want to Follow Your Box and discover the destination of your shoebox, these QR-coded labels allow you to easily donate to activate and enable the tracking feature. Entire packs of 50 labels can be activated by scanning or entering the nine-digit code on one label.
Other label options currently available include the How to Pack a Shoebox brochures, traditional Follow Your Box printable labels, and basic shoebox labels.
If you need more than 30 sets of adhesive labels, please contact us at occinfo@samaritan.org with your request.
