Crop Amazon shipping labels to 4x6
An Amazon order PDF is not made for a thermal printer. Each page is A4 with the shipping label sitting in one corner and a tax invoice underneath, so printing it straight gives you a label the size of a postage stamp and a wasted second page.
This finds the label on every page, crops it to the size your printer actually wants, and drops the invoice pages if you do not need them. Two hundred orders take about as long as opening the file.

How it works
- Download the order PDF. In Seller Central, print your package labels as you normally would and save the PDF instead of sending it to the printer.
- Drop it in. Open the tool and drop the file on the page. Add as many files as you like - a morning batch and an afternoon one merge into a single print run.
- Choose the size and the sorting. 4x6 for a thermal printer, 3x5 for the smaller rolls, A4 if you are printing on sheets. Turn on SKU grouping so identical items print back to back.
- Export. You get one PDF with every label cropped, in the order you asked for, ready to send straight to the printer.
What it handles
- 4x6, 3x5 and A4 output, so it matches a thermal roll or a sheet printer
- Invoice pages kept or dropped, whichever your courier needs
- SKU grouping, so ten of the same item print together and pack together
- Courier-wise sorting for handover, and heavy parcels last
- A picklist page at the end, with every SKU and quantity in the batch
- SKU and quantity printed into a blank part of the label itself
- Barcodes stay sharp - the label is copied as vector artwork, not re-drawn as a picture
What it saves you
A marketplace order PDF prints two pages for every order: the shipping slip and the tax invoice behind it. Sent to a thermal printer as it comes, that is two labels off the roll per parcel. Cropped, it is one.

This runs inside your browser tab. The file is read and written on your own device and is never uploaded — not the order PDF, not the customer names and addresses printed on it. There is no upload endpoint to send it to.
Questions
- Will the barcode still scan after cropping?
- Yes. The label is copied across as vector artwork rather than re-rendered as an image, so the barcode is mathematically the same lines it was in the original PDF. A re-drawn barcode is where scanning problems come from, and that is exactly what this avoids.
- Is my order file uploaded anywhere?
- No. The whole thing runs inside your browser tab - the PDF is read and written on your own computer. Your customers' names, addresses and phone numbers never reach us, because there is nowhere on our side for a file to go.
- Can I crop several order files at once?
- Yes. Drop in as many as you like and they merge into one print run, which is the usual way of it: a batch downloaded in the morning and another in the afternoon, printed together before the courier arrives.
- What size should I use for a thermal printer?
- 4x6 inches is the standard label roll in India and what most thermal printers expect. 3x5 is there for the smaller rolls. If you are printing on ordinary A4 sheets and cutting by hand, pick A4 and you will get several labels to a page.
- Does it work for FBA carton labels too?
- Not yet. This handles the package labels from your order PDF. FBA carton labels are a different format and are on the list rather than in the product, and we would rather say so than have you find out mid-batch.
