How to Print Flipkart Shipping Labels 4 Per A4 Sheet

Quick answer: print 4 Flipkart labels on one A4 sheet

Here is the short version before the details:

1. Download your combined shipping label PDF from Flipkart Seller Hub.
2. Upload it to LabelCrop's Flipkart Label Crop tool and let it crop every label automatically.
3. Choose Labels/Page = 4 so the cropped labels are arranged four per A4 sheet.
4. Print the downloaded PDF with scaling set to Actual size (never Fit to page).
5. Cut along the gaps — four scannable labels per sheet, invoices optional.

What you need before starting

You only need three things: your Flipkart seller login, a combined shipping label PDF downloaded from Seller Hub, and a browser. No software installation, no Adobe subscription. Any modern browser on Windows, Mac or even an Android phone works because cropping happens server-side in seconds.

If you dispatch more than a handful of orders a day, also decide two things up front: whether you want invoices printed with the labels (many sellers pack invoices separately), and whether you want sequential order numbers stamped on each label so dispatch day is easy to reconcile.

Step 1: download your labels from Flipkart Seller Hub

Log in to seller.flipkart.com and open the Orders or Payments section depending on your dashboard version. Select the orders ready to ship and use the option to generate or download shipping labels. Flipkart bundles all selected orders into a single multi-page PDF — each order typically takes two pages: the address label first, then its tax invoice.

Keep this original file safe. The crop process never modifies your source PDF; you always get a fresh output file.

Step 2: crop the labels automatically

Open the free Flipkart Label Crop tool on LabelCrop and drag your PDF into the upload area. The engine reads every page, detects whether it is looking at a label or an invoice, and crops each type to its correct dimensions — the label keeps its full barcode and address block, nothing gets clipped.

While the options are in front of you, consider switching on:

1. Order numbers — stamps Order - 1, Order - 2 … continuously across every file, so a missing parcel is instantly traceable.
2. Include invoices — keeps each invoice attached to its own label through sorting, useful when your packer needs product details at hand.
3. Sort by SKU or Payment — arranges labels so picking becomes one walk through your shelf instead of a hunt across shuffled pages.
4. Summary page — appends an A4 report listing every SKU with quantities and totals for the batch.

Step 3: choose the 4-per-page layout

In the same options panel set Labels/Page to 4. The tool re-assembles the cropped labels onto standard A4 pages, four per sheet in a clean grid with sensible gutters for cutting. If you prefer full-size labels — for example to feed a 4×6 thermal printer — leave Labels/Page at 1 instead; the cropped output works perfectly for thermal rolls too.

Step 4: print with the right settings

This is where most sellers go wrong. Open the downloaded PDF in any viewer and hit print, but check these three settings first:

1. Scaling: choose Actual size or 100%. Fit to page or Fit to printable area silently shrinks the barcode below scanner tolerance — the number one cause of 'barcode not scanning' complaints at courier hubs.
2. Paper size: A4. If your printer defaults to Letter, change it, or the grid drifts off-centre over long batches.
3. Margins/marks: turn off headers, footers and any 'add border' options.

Using a thermal printer instead (4×6 rolls)

Thermal printers are cheaper per label than ink or laser toner and never jam on sticker stock. The workflow barely changes: run your PDF through the crop tool with Labels/Page = 1, then print the result on 100×150 mm (4×6) direct-thermal rolls. Set the driver's paper size to 4×6 and scaling to actual size as well.

Because the cropped pages contain just the label content, most thermal drivers accept them without extra configuration — no template fiddling required.

Common problems and quick fixes

Even with the right workflow, a few issues come up again and again. Here is how to fix them fast:

1. Barcode will not scan: reprint with Actual size scaling. If it still fails, clean the printer head or raise print quality — faded bars are as bad as shrunk ones.
2. Invoice pages ended up among the labels: you uploaded with Include Invoices on but wanted labels only. Re-crop with invoices off, or vice versa if they went missing.
3. Labels are misaligned on the sheet: your printer forced Letter paper or applied fit-to-page. Re-check both settings.
4. Order numbers restarted mid-batch: numbers run continuously across all files uploaded in one session, so upload every file of the batch together.

Why sellers sort by SKU before printing

Sorting sounds like a nicety until you pack fifty orders a day. With Original order the packer jumps around the shelf following the PDF's random sequence. With SKU sorting enabled, labels arrive grouped so each product is picked once, packed, and ticked off — most sellers report the packing step dropping from hours to minutes during sale events like Big Billion Days.

Pair SKU sorting with payment sorting (SKU + Payment mode) and COD versus prepaid parcels separate automatically, which speeds up manifest handover to the courier.

Does this work for Shopsy orders too?

Yes. Shopsy shares Flipkart's logistics stack and its label PDFs follow the same layout family, so the dedicated Shopsy Label Crop tool uses the same battle-tested engine tuned for the Shopsy page format. Meesho, Amazon, Delhivery and other platforms have their own tools if you sell multi-channel — see the related tools linked below.
