Amazon’s seller-generated shipping labels follow the same combined layout as most marketplaces — an A4 PDF with the label on top and the tax invoice filling the rest of the page. For thermal printing at 4x6, that combined page needs cropping down to just the label first.
Upload the file to Amazon Label Crop, which detects the cut line separating the label from the invoice on each page automatically.
Getting the label PDF from Amazon Seller Central
- Log in to Amazon Seller Central.
- Go to your orders and select the ones ready to be shipped.
- Download the shipping label as a PDF — this produces the combined A4 file with the invoice attached.
Steps to crop it
- Upload the downloaded PDF to Amazon Label Crop.
- Each page is automatically cropped at the line separating the label from the tax invoice below it.
- Download the cropped PDF, sized correctly for a 4x6 thermal roll.
Printing it correctly
Use “Fit to page” or “Actual size” in your print dialog rather than a default scaling option, and use your thermal printer’s own label printing software if it has one, since that is typically calibrated more precisely for the roll size than a generic browser print dialog. An incorrectly scaled label wastes roll material and can print with the barcode partially cut off, which some couriers will reject at pickup.
Handling bulk shipments
For sellers processing many orders in one session, Amazon lets you download labels for multiple orders combined into one PDF. Upload the entire file as-is — the cropping applies to every page independently, so a bulk file of many orders comes back as the same number of individually cropped labels in the original order, without needing to split anything first.
Keeping the barcode and tracking information intact
The crop targets the invoice section specifically and always preserves the barcode, tracking number and address block that make up the actual label, since those are what the courier scans and relies on at every stage of delivery.
Non-standard labels
Return labels, replacement shipments, or labels generated through a less common workflow sometimes have a layout that differs slightly from a typical forward shipment label. If one specific label in a batch looks like it cropped a little tight, check for a size or margin option in the tool and apply it to that label rather than assuming the issue affects the whole batch.
A note for sellers running on multiple marketplaces
If you sell through Amazon alongside Meesho or Flipkart, keep the labels from each marketplace in clearly separate batches rather than mixing them together before cropping — each marketplace’s tool is tuned to its own specific label layout, and running an Amazon batch through a different marketplace’s cropper (or vice versa) will not detect the cut line correctly. Organising your daily order downloads by marketplace from the start avoids this mix-up entirely and keeps your packing station simple to run.
Frequently asked questions
Will I still have the invoice for my accounting records?
Yes, the original downloaded PDF still has the full invoice — keep that file for your records, and use the cropped version only for printing the physical label.
Can this handle a large batch of orders at once?
Yes, upload the whole combined multi-page PDF and every page is cropped independently in a single pass.
What label size does this produce?
A standard 4x6 inch size, matching the common thermal label roll used for courier shipping.
Does it work on FBA labels as well as merchant-fulfilled ones?
The tool is built around the standard Amazon label-plus-invoice layout; check the cropped result for any label type you are unsure about before printing a large batch.
Is it free and private?
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, and files are removed from the server automatically about an hour after processing.
