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.
First: FBA vs Easy Ship vs Self Ship
Which labels you print depends on your fulfilment method:
| Method | Who ships | Do you print labels? |
|---|---|---|
| FBA | Amazon ships from its warehouse | No — Amazon handles the shipping label |
| Easy Ship | You pack, Amazon's courier picks up | Yes — you print the Amazon-generated label |
| Self Ship | You pack and arrange your own courier | Yes — Amazon label plus your courier's label |
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.
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.
