Shipping Label Size Guide: Amazon vs Flipkart vs Meesho
The actual label size for Amazon, Flipkart and Meesho shipping labels, why the downloaded PDF is a full A4 page regardless, and how to print at the correct size.
Quick Answer
Amazon, Flipkart and Meesho shipping labels are all designed around the same standard thermal size — 4x6 inches (100x150 mm) — regardless of which marketplace generated them. What differs is how each marketplace delivers that label to you: as a full A4-page PDF with the small label sitting inside a large white margin, not as a file already sized to 4x6.
That's why the label 'looks' A4-sized when you open the PDF — the page is A4, but the label content inside it is not. Cropping is what recovers the actual 4x6 content so it can be printed at its real size, either on a thermal roll or arranged multiple-per-page on A4.
Amazon Shipping Label Size
Amazon shipping labels are 4x6 inches in content size, but the Seller Central PDF also bundles a tax invoice — and for FBA shipments, an FNSKU sticker — on the same page or file. That makes Amazon's case slightly different from Flipkart or Meesho: getting to the correct label size means separating the label from the invoice content first, then cropping to the true 4x6 boundary.
Flipkart Shipping Label Size
Flipkart labels are also 4x6 inches at their actual content size, delivered as an A4 PDF with the label positioned inside generous white margins. Flipkart sometimes places two labels on a single A4 page with a separator line between them — the label size itself doesn't change, but the crop step needs to correctly split the page along that separator.
Meesho Shipping Label Size
Meesho labels follow the same 4x6 inch standard, but the source PDF layout is the least consistent of the three — label position and page structure vary more between batches. The content size you're aiming for after cropping is still the standard 4x6, even though the raw PDF doesn't make that obvious.
A4 vs 4x6 Thermal: Which Should You Print At?
If you own a 4x6 thermal printer, crop the label to its true size and print it directly at that size — this is the standard for high-volume sellers because it uses no ink. If you're printing on a regular A4 printer, crop first, then choose either one label per A4 sheet or four labels per A4 sheet, printed at 100% scale. Never rely on 'Fit to Page' — it re-adds margin and can shrink the barcode below a reliably scannable size.
Getting the Exact Size from Your Raw PDF
In every case — Amazon, Flipkart or Meesho — the workflow is the same: crop the downloaded PDF with the matching label crop tool first, which recovers the true 4x6 content size, then choose your output layout (single, 4-up, or thermal) based on your printer and order volume.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is an Amazon shipping label?+
4x6 inches (100x150 mm) at its actual content size. The Seller Central PDF also includes an invoice and, for FBA, an FNSKU sticker, so separating the label from that extra content is needed before the true size is usable.
What size is a Flipkart shipping label?+
4x6 inches (100x150 mm), delivered inside an A4-sized PDF with white margins. Cropping recovers the actual label size for thermal printing or multi-per-page A4 layouts.
What size is a Meesho shipping label?+
4x6 inches (100x150 mm), the same standard as Amazon and Flipkart, though Meesho's source PDF layout is less consistent between batches.
Why is my downloaded label PDF a full A4 page if the label is only 4x6 inches?+
Marketplaces generate label PDFs on A4-sized pages regardless of the label's actual content size, leaving large white margins around the label. Cropping removes that margin to reveal the true 4x6 content.
Can I print a 4x6 label on A4 paper?+
Yes. After cropping, either print one 4x6 label per A4 sheet or arrange four per sheet in a landscape layout — both are supported by the marketplace-specific crop tools.
