How to crop and print Amazon shipping labels in bulk (India, 2026)

29 May 20268 min readBy The ShipWorks team

If you ship on Amazon India through Easy Ship or Self Ship, you generate your own shipping labels — and at any real volume, printing them one at a time is a time sink. The labels download as A4 PDFs that don't fit a thermal roll cleanly, and they come unsorted. This guide covers the exact bulk workflow: download, crop to 4×6, drop the invoice, sort by courier and SKU, then print.

The bulk workflow in one line
Download the Amazon label PDF → crop each label to 4×6 thermal size and remove the invoice section → sort by courier + SKU → print the processed file at actual size. The crop + sort done before printing is what makes a big batch fast.

First: FBA vs Easy Ship vs Self Ship

Which labels you print depends on your fulfilment method:

MethodWho shipsDo you print labels?
FBAAmazon ships from its warehouseNo — Amazon handles the shipping label
Easy ShipYou pack, Amazon's courier picks upYes — you print the Amazon-generated label
Self ShipYou pack and arrange your own courierYes — Amazon label plus your courier's label
This guide is for Easy Ship and Self Ship sellers who print their own labels.

Why the raw Amazon PDF slows you down

Amazon's label export is built around A4, with the shipping label and an invoice/tax section on the page, in whatever order the orders were pulled. Print that straight to a thermal printer and you hit three problems:

  • Wasted media: the invoice half prints on label stock you paid for.
  • Wrong size: an A4-scaled label shrinks on a 4×6 roll, so barcodes get harder to scan.
  • Unsorted stack: couriers and SKUs are mixed, slowing pick and handover.

The bulk printing workflow, step by step

1. Download the label PDF

In Seller Central, select the orders you're shipping and download the labels as a single PDF. Pull the whole batch at once — batching beats printing order by order.

2. Crop each label to 4×6

An Amazon label cropper trims each A4 page down to just the 4×6 shipping label so it fits a thermal roll at actual size. This is the single biggest fix — crisp, first-scan barcodes and no shrinking.

3. Remove the invoice section

The same step should drop the invoice/tax section so you don't burn label media on pages the parcel doesn't need. Keep invoices as a separate file for your records if required.

4. Sort by courier and SKU

Sorting by courier groups parcels for faster handover; sorting by SKU lets a packer pick one product at a time. This is the step that actually saves the most time on a big day.

5. Print the processed file

Send the clean, sorted output to your thermal printer with scaling set to actual size(never “fit to page”). Print one test label, scan it, then run the full batch.

One tool for Amazon, Flipkart, and Meesho

Each marketplace exports a different layout, so the real time-saver is a tool that recognises all of them and outputs a consistent thermal-ready file. ShipWorks does crop, invoice removal, and courier + SKU sort in a single pass for Amazon, Flipkart, and Meesho — drop one PDF, get back a sorted, thermal-ready file in about 30 seconds. The same flow for Flipkart is in how to print Flipkart labels in bulk.

Pair it with the right printer
Any 4-inch direct-thermal printer prints Amazon labels well. Match the duty cycle to your daily volume — see the best thermal printer guide for India.

FAQs

Q: How do I print Amazon Easy Ship labels in bulk?

Download all orders as one PDF, crop each label to 4×6 and remove the invoice section, sort by courier and SKU, then print the processed file at actual size. Doing the crop and sort before printing is what makes a large batch fast.

Q: Do I print labels for FBA orders?

No. For FBA, Amazon ships from its own warehouse and handles the shipping label. You only print labels for Easy Ship and Self Ship orders.

Q: Can one tool crop Amazon, Flipkart, and Meesho labels?

Yes. ShipWorks recognises all three marketplace layouts and outputs a consistent 4×6 thermal-ready, courier-sorted file, so you run one process regardless of where the order came from.
