Flipkart Shipping Label Size: A4 vs 4x6 Explained

“What size is the Flipkart label?” has two honest answers, and mixing them up is why so many first labels print wrong. The file Flipkart gives you is one size; the sticker most sellers print on is another. This guide explains both, what each part of the page contains, which output to choose for your printer, and how to get from the A4 PDF to a 4x6 label without hurting the barcode.

Flipkart Label Sizes at a Glance

In the Flipkart label PDFs our tool is built around, each order is printed on its own A4 page. The table compares that original with the formats sellers actually print.

The label area on the standard A4 sheet is narrower and shorter than a 4x6 sticker. When SnapSeller crops it without scaling, the label page comes out at about 83 x 125 mm, so it sits inside a 4x6 or 100 x 150 mm sticker with a small white border on every side. That border is normal and leaves room for the printer's own margins.

What Is on the Label vs the Tax Invoice

The two halves of the page do different jobs, so it helps to know which one the courier needs and which one is for paperwork.

The shipping label (upper part)

This is the part that goes on the parcel. It usually carries the delivery address, the seller's return details, the barcodes the courier scans, order and shipment identifiers, the payment mode (COD or prepaid), a line with the SKU and quantity, and a routing code that Ekart uses for sorting, printed just above the invoice section. Exactly which fields appear can vary by order and over time, so treat this as a guide, not a fixed specification.

The tax invoice (lower part)

Below the “Tax Invoice” heading is the invoice for the same order, with the seller and buyer details, the item, the price and the tax breakdown. Whether you print it, put it inside the parcel or simply keep the PDF for records depends on your own process and on what Flipkart asks of you; check the current requirement in Seller Hub or with your accountant rather than relying on a blog post.

Which Size Should You Choose?

• You have a thermal label printer: print the cropped label on 4x6 or 100 x 150 mm direct thermal stickers. This is the fastest and cleanest option for daily dispatch.
• You have only a laser or inkjet printer: place four cropped labels on each A4 page and print on A4 sticker sheets. You use a quarter of the paper of the original layout.
• You also want the invoice printed: keep the invoice as a separate page after each label, so the label still fits the sticker and the invoice prints on its own.
• You only need to check a document: keep the original A4 PDF. It is always worth saving it untouched.

Volume matters too. With only a handful of orders a week, A4 sticker sheets are fine. Once you pack every day, the time spent cutting sheets usually makes a thermal printer the better buy.

How to Convert the A4 Flipkart Label to 4x6

Converting is really cropping: you keep the label area of each A4 page and drop the rest. Doing that by hand in a PDF editor works for one order, but not for fifty. The SnapSeller Flipkart label crop tool does it for the whole file in your browser:

1. Add the PDF.Drop one or more Flipkart label PDFs into the tool.
2. Choose a layout.Only Label for 4x6 stickers, Keep Invoice As Second Page to keep the invoice, 4 Labels Per A4 Page for A4 sticker sheets, or No Crop to keep the original pages.
3. Optionally sort.Group COD orders first, sort by Ekart sort code or group the same SKU together.
4. Process and compare.Download the new PDF and compare one page with the original before printing.

The tool looks for the “Tax Invoice” heading in the readable text of each page to find where the label ends, and uses a fixed proportion of the page if that heading is not found. Because Flipkart's documents can vary, always check one page before a large batch. When you are ready, crop the label to 4x6 and print a single test sticker first.

Print Settings That Keep the Size Right

The right size on screen can still print wrong if the print dialog rescales it. Use these settings for cropped Flipkart labels:

• Scale at 100% or Actual Size, with fit to page and shrink turned off.
• Paper size in the printer driver set to your roll: 4x6 inch or 100 x 150 mm.
• Portrait orientation and no extra margins.
• For A4 sticker sheets, A4 paper size at 100% scale.
• One test label, scanned with a phone or scanner, before the batch.
