Flipkart & Meesho Label Crop for 4x6 Thermal Printing

What Does the Label Crop Tool Do?

Direct Answer: Flipkart and Meesho give sellers their shipping labels as A4 PDF pages. The courier label sits on the top part of the page and the GST tax invoice fills the bottom part. A 4x6 thermal label printer cannot print an A4 page as it is, so sellers crop away the invoice and print only the label.

This tool does that crop for you. It reads each page, finds where the invoice starts, keeps everything above it, and places each label on its own 4x6 in (or 100x150 mm) page. The work happens in your browser with a Rust engine compiled to WebAssembly, so the label PDF and your customers' addresses are never uploaded.

What Sellers Keep and What They Remove?

Direct Answer: Sellers keep the part the courier needs on the parcel and remove the part that is only for the buyer's records.

• Kept, the shipping label: courier or logistics partner name, AWB tracking number and barcode, the customer's delivery address, the return or pickup address, COD or Prepaid marking, order ID, and package weight or dimensions.
• Kept by default on Meesho, the product details table: SKU, size, quantity, colour and order number. Most sellers keep this because it tells the packer what goes in the parcel. Untick Keep product details to cut it off.
• Removed, the tax invoice: GSTIN, invoice number and date, HSN codes, item prices, tax amounts and totals. This part is headed "Tax Invoice" on both marketplaces.

The invoice is not thrown away from your records. Your original download is left unchanged, so you can still print or file it on A4 later.

How Flipkart and Meesho Label PDFs Are Laid Out?

Direct Answer: On a Meesho label PDF, each A4 page holds one order: the shipping label at the top, the product details table under it, and the tax invoice in the lower half. On a Flipkart label PDF, the label sits in the upper part of the page with the tax invoice below it, and some downloads put labels and invoices on separate, alternating pages. Shopsy orders come from Flipkart Seller Hub and use the same layout.

Because the exact position moves between downloads, the tool does not use fixed coordinates. It looks for the "Tax Invoice" heading on each page, then measures where the printed content actually is above it and trims the empty margins. A page whose invoice heading is right at the top is treated as an invoice-only page and left out. A page with no invoice heading is kept whole and flagged in the preview so you can check it.

Printing on a 4x6 Thermal Printer?

Direct Answer: Choose 4x6 in (or 100x150 mm, which is almost the same size), download the cropped PDF, and print it with these settings:

• Select your thermal printer, for example a TVS, Xprinter, Zebra, iDPRT or SNBC model.
• Set the paper or label size to 4x6 in or 100x150 mm in the printer's preferences.
• Set scale to Actual size or 100%. "Fit to page" can shrink the label a second time.
• Print one test label and scan the barcode with your phone before printing a full batch.

Wide labels are turned a quarter so they fill the portrait sticker. Untick Rotate wide labels if your printer feeds labels sideways. Choose Crop only if you want each label at its natural size, for example to place several on an A4 sticker sheet.

Why the Barcodes Stay Sharp?

Direct Answer: Many free croppers take a screenshot of the page and cut the image. At thermal printer resolution that blurs the thin bars of the AWB barcode, and couriers then fail to scan it at pickup.

This tool crops the PDF itself. Each source page is turned into a reusable drawing, clipped to the label area and scaled onto the 4x6 page. Text, lines and barcodes stay as vector shapes, so they print at the full resolution of your printer. The output is also small: a hundred labels usually fit in a file of a few hundred kilobytes.

Privacy for Customer Addresses?

Direct Answer: A label PDF contains your customers' names, phone numbers and home addresses. Uploading it to an unknown cropping website shares that personal data with a third party.

Here the file is opened by your own browser. Detection, cropping and the final PDF are all produced on your device, and nothing is sent to a server. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works.

Tips and Common Problems

Direct Answer: A few habits avoid reprints:

• Use the PDF as downloaded. A PDF that was printed to PDF again or scanned has no readable text, so the invoice heading cannot be found. Use Use for all pages in the editor to set one crop box for every page instead.
• Check flagged pages. Pages marked "No invoice found" are kept whole. Open them and drag the box if needed.
• Print at 100%. Most size problems come from the print dialog scaling the page again.
• Keep the original file. You still need the invoice for your GST records, and you may need to reprint it on A4.
• Combine downloads. Drop the files from several pickup batches together to get one print run.

If a label file is too large to email to a packing team, compress the PDF first, or split it by page range into smaller batches.
