What this Flipkart label cropper does
Every Flipkart shipping label PDF you download from Flipkart Seller Hub contains two parts on one page: the actual shipping label on top, and a Tax Invoice section below it. The Tax Invoice is required for GST records but it doesn't need to be printed on the parcel — only the shipping label does.
This free Flipkart label cropper opens the PDF, finds the "Tax Invoice" heading, and produces a clean 4×6 inch (100×150 mm) page with only the shipping label. You can send the cropped PDF directly to a thermal printer without any further editing. No Photoshop, no Adobe Acrobat, no paid PDF tools needed.
Flipkart label dimensions explained
If you've been printing Flipkart labels on regular A4 paper or your thermal printer is shrinking them, here are the actual dimensions:
| Item | Size (inches) | Size (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| Flipkart PDF (raw download) | 8.27 × 11.69 (A4) | 210 × 297 |
| Actual shipping label area | 4 × 6 | 100 × 150 |
| Tax Invoice section | ~4 × 5 | ~100 × 130 |
| Thermal printer roll (standard) | 4 × 6 | 100 × 150 |
| After cropping | 4 × 6 | 100 × 150 |
Why crop your Flipkart label?
- Thermal printer fit. Zebra, TVS LP46, Honeywell PC42T, Rongta and TSC printers expect a 4×6 page. An uncropped A4 PDF either prints tiny, splits across two labels, or prints the Tax Invoice on a second label — wasting an entire roll.
- Customer privacy. The Tax Invoice usually contains your seller name, GSTIN, the buyer's name and the order amount. Sticking it on the parcel exposes commercial data that should stay between you and your tax records.
- Save thermal label rolls. One roll of 500 4×6 labels typically costs ₹250–₹400. If you're printing 50 orders/day uncropped, you waste two rolls a week.
- Faster pickup. Couriers scan the QR code on the label. A correctly-sized 4×6 label scans first try; a shrunken one doesn't.
Step-by-step: print Flipkart labels on a thermal printer
- Sign in to Flipkart Seller Hub → Orders → click Print or Download Label for the order you're packing.
- Drag the downloaded PDF into the upload box on this page, or click to browse.
- The cropper auto-detects the Tax Invoice heading in under 5 seconds and downloads a new
cropped-flipkart-label.pdf. - Open the cropped PDF in any PDF viewer → Print → select your thermal printer → Paper size: 4×6 in → Scale: 100% → Print.
- Stick the printed label on the parcel. Keep the original PDF (with the tax invoice intact) for your GST records.
Important: keep the Tax Invoice for GST records
Removing the Tax Invoice from the printed label does not mean removing it from your records. Indian GST law requires you to keep an invoice for every order. The original PDF that Flipkart provides — the one you upload here — is unchanged on your computer. Save it (or its data) for your monthly GST filings. This tool only affects what gets printed on the parcel.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Flipkart include a Tax Invoice on the label?
Indian GST law requires a tax invoice with every order. Flipkart bundles the invoice into the same PDF as the shipping label so sellers don't forget. For thermal printing on the parcel itself, the invoice is unnecessary, and most sellers print or save it separately for their records.
What is the size of a Flipkart shipping label?
The actual shipping label area is 4×6 inches (100×150 mm), the global thermal-printer standard. The PDF Flipkart serves is on a full A4 page that combines the label and a Tax Invoice section.
Will this tool work with my 4×6 thermal printer?
Yes. The cropped PDF is exactly 4×6 inches, which matches Zebra, TVS LP46, Honeywell PC42T, Rongta RP402 and almost every thermal printer Indian Flipkart sellers use.
Is the Flipkart Label Cropper free?
Yes, completely free. No login, no signup, no credit card, no usage caps.
Do I still need to keep the tax invoice for GST records?
Yes. Keep the original Flipkart PDF (or print the Tax Invoice separately on plain paper) for your GST records. This tool only removes the invoice from the printed label, not from your bookkeeping. The original PDF on your computer is untouched.
Are my PDFs uploaded or stored on your server?
Your PDF is processed in memory on our server and the cropped file is sent straight back. We don't save the original or the cropped output, don't log filenames and don't share files with anyone.
Does it work for Flipkart Smart, F-Assured and Plus orders?
Yes. All Flipkart shipping labels — Smart, F-Assured, Plus, regular and self-ship — share the same layout. The cropper detects the Tax Invoice section automatically regardless of order type.
