Shadowfax Courier Shipping Label Guidelines: Barcode Formats and Print Settings
The Shadowfax Logistics Routing Format
Shadowfax powers forward dispatch and hyper-local reverse logistics for major Indian marketplaces including Meesho, Myntra, and Nykaa. Their shipping labels prominently feature the Shadowfax AWB tracking code, an integrated 2D QR code for quick driver check-in, the destination delivery center code, and order cash-on-delivery (COD) amounts.
Because delivery associates use smartphone cameras for doorstep scanning, high contrast is mandatory. Faint thermal prints or low-resolution raster crops take multiple seconds to focus, causing pickup delays.
Preserving COD Indicators and SKU Details
For Cash on Delivery orders, courier associates must collect the exact invoice amount at customer doorstep. If manual trimming clips the payment type badge or amount block, parcels are marked as prepaid, leading to seller financial losses. Using E-Label Cropper ensures the full operational footer containing COD amount and SKU quantities is preserved intact.
Optimal Printer Settings for Shadowfax Labels
Direct thermal printers should be set to 4x6 inch stock size with 0.00 mm margins. Calibrate your printer's gap sensor using our free 4x6 Thermal Test Page Generator before printing production batches to ensure stickers feed cleanly without misalignment.
