Guides

Practical guides for online sellers

Short, hands-on guides for the everyday work of shipping parcels: printing labels without waste, packing in the right order, handing parcels to couriers and keeping PDFs small and tidy. Each guide pairs with a free tool on this site.

Printing

How to print shipping labels on A4 paper

Use a normal printer: 2 or 4 labels per sheet, the right settings, cutting and a quick barcode test.

Thermal label printer setup

Set the paper size, calibrate the roll and print a clean test label the first time.

Fix common label printing problems

Blurry barcodes, cut-off labels, blank pages and a print window that will not open.

Packing and shipping

Sort orders by SKU and pack faster

A five-step routine using sorted labels, an Excel report or pick list, and numbered labels.

Meesho labels by courier

Group labels by courier and hand each courier a clean stack at pickup.

PDF tips

Reduce PDF size for email and upload

Compare compression levels, know what you give up, and what to do when a file is still too big.
