How Sellers Split a Large Shipping Label PDF by Courier

Why Split a Label PDF?

A single file with 300 labels is hard to manage. If the printer stops halfway, you have to find where it stopped and print the rest again. Splitting the file into smaller batches makes printing reliable and lets several people pack at the same time, each with their own batch. Splitting by courier also means each courier's parcels can be packed and stacked together for pickup.

Finding Where Each Courier Starts

Many label files are already sorted, for example by courier, SKU or pickup date. Upload the file to the tool and scroll through the page thumbnails to see where one courier ends and the next begins. Note the page numbers - for example Delhivery on pages 1-40, Ekart on pages 41-95 and Shadowfax from page 96 to the end. Our label crop tools can also sort labels by courier or SKU before you split.

Splitting by Courier

• Choose Split by Range :

  Select the first mode in the tool.

• Enter the Ranges :

  Type the courier ranges, for example 1-40, 41-95, 96-.

• Check the Colours :

  The thumbnails are coloured by output file, so each courier group is easy to verify.

• Download the ZIP :

  Each courier gets its own PDF, named with its page numbers.

Splitting into Equal Batches

If you simply want smaller files, choose Every N pages and enter a batch size such as 50. A file of 230 labels becomes five PDFs: four with 50 labels and one with 30. Equal batches are ideal for thermal printers, which work best with shorter print jobs, and for sharing work between packers.

Pulling Out Single Labels

Sometimes one order needs to be reprinted - a label got torn, or a parcel was repacked. Use Extract pages, click the label you need, and download it as a new PDF. This is much faster than printing the whole file again, and it avoids duplicate labels being stuck on the wrong parcel.

Crop First, Then Split

Marketplace label files usually contain labels with invoices on A4 pages. Crop them first with the Meesho label crop or the Flipkart label crop tool to get clean 4x6 labels, sorted the way you like. Then split the cropped file into courier groups or batches. This order of steps keeps every batch ready to print on a label printer.

Tips for Faster Dispatch

Name your batches by courier after downloading, so packers know which pile each file belongs to. Print one batch at a time and pack it before printing the next, to avoid mixing parcels. Keep the original file until all orders are shipped, in case you need to reprint a label later. On very large sale days, split into batches of 50 or 100 labels for smooth printing.

Conclusion

Knowing how sellers split a large shipping label PDF by courier or order batch makes busy days much calmer. Use ranges for couriers, equal parts for batches and extract mode for reprints. The free split PDF tool keeps every label sharp and helps you split label PDF by courier in under a minute.

Many sellers make splitting part of their daily routine: download the label file, crop and sort it, split it into courier groups, and hand each group to a packer. The whole process takes a few minutes, even for several hundred orders, and it makes pickup handover much smoother because each courier's parcels are already together. When a pickup is missed, the courier's file is ready to print again the next day without searching through a big combined PDF. It also helps with order tracking, since each batch file matches one pile of parcels on your packing table, and you can quickly check which orders are still waiting to be packed.
