How to Crop Shiprocket Shipping Labels from Bulk Manifests for 4x6 Thermal Roll Printing
Understanding the Shiprocket Order Manifest Format
Shiprocket is the primary logistics aggregation platform for direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands, Shopify merchants, and social commerce sellers in India. Shiprocket routes packages dynamically through courier partners including Delhivery, BlueDart, Shadowfax, DTDC, and XpressBees. When sellers generate bulk shipping documents from the Shiprocket dashboard, the system generates multi-order composite PDF manifests.
Each sheet typically pairs the primary carrier Air Waybill (AWB) barcode label with customer billing details and seller return information. Printing these sheets on regular office A4 paper consumes expensive laser toner and requires packaging tape pouches. Isolating the shipping slip for 4x6 direct thermal roll printing reduces packing time by over 70%.
Step-by-Step: Extracting Shiprocket Labels with E-Label Cropper
- Download Manifests from Shiprocket: In your Shiprocket dashboard, navigate to Orders > Ready to Ship. Select all orders for today’s pickup and click Generate Manifest / Download Labels.
- Open Universal Label Cropper: Open E-Label Cropper or the PDF Label Cropper tool.
- Upload the Consolidated PDF: Drag and drop your single or multi-page Shiprocket PDF into the upload workspace.
- Vector Coordinate Isolation: The cropping engine identifies the primary courier barcode block, isolates the routing station codes and consignee address, and adjusts the PDF CropBox to 4x6 inches (100x150 mm).
- Download & Print: Download the clean 4x6 roll PDF and print directly to your thermal barcode printer (TSC, Zebra, TVS, Rollo, Xprinter).
Preserving Routing Station Codes & Carrier AWBs
Different courier partners on Shiprocket structure routing data uniquely:
- Delhivery: Features high-contrast Code 128 AWBs and large 3-letter hub destination codes (e.g. BOM/DEL/BLR).
- BlueDart: Features alphanumeric consignment codes and destination area pincode routing lines.
- Shadowfax: Contains high-density routing tags that must not be cropped near margin edges.
E-Label Cropper applies generous 4 mm safety margins around all four edges of the extracted label, ensuring courier routing codes and barcode quiet zones are never clipped.
Batch Printing 100+ Shiprocket Orders Daily
Organize your Shiprocket dispatches by courier partner before downloading manifests (e.g. batch all Delhivery orders together, then all BlueDart orders). This speeds up sorting during pickup handover when multiple courier delivery vans arrive simultaneously.
Common Questions on This Guide
Q. Does E-Label Cropper support Shiprocket multi-order manifests?
Yes. Upload your combined 50 or 100-page Shiprocket PDF, and the engine crops each label into individual 4x6 thermal roll pages.

Yes. Vector coordinate cropping preserves native printer resolution, ensuring laser scanners register tracking numbers on first pass.
