Meesho Label Crop Without Invoice
Thermal roll is the running cost nobody budgets for. Print the Supplier Panel download as it comes and every order eats a full A4 sheet, most of it a tax invoice that was never going into the box.
Label Cropper is the default output format — leave it selected and crop. No coins for standard crop and sort.
Paper you pay for twice
A Meesho page is roughly half shipping label and half tax invoice. Printed whole it feeds about 297mm of roll per order; cropped to 4x6 it feeds about 152mm. Over a five-hundred order day that is one roll instead of two, plus every second the thermal printer spends pushing out paper that goes straight into the bin.
Where the cut lands
- 1Each page is searched for the separator Meesho prints under the label — TAX INVOICE, or Bill To on the templates that use it.
- 2The crop is taken just above that line with about 2mm of clearance, so the barcode, AWB and address keep their full size and no invoice text follows them.
- 3Marker-less pages, mostly exchange and reverse-pickup labels, fall back to detecting that label's own bottom edge rather than a blunt half-page slice.
- 4Invoice continuation pages, which carry no shipping label at all, are dropped — so the page count matches the label count.
What the buyer never sees
The half you cut away is where the order value is printed. Sellers sourcing from a wholesaler usually prefer the parcel not to arrive with a priced bill in it. What survives is what the doorstep actually needs — address, barcode, AWB, and whether the order is Prepaid or COD. If your parcels are required to carry the invoice, use Label with Invoice instead.
Across a full batch
- ›Every page is the same 4x6 rectangle: no half sheets, no blank strips, nothing to fish out of the tray mid-run.
- ›Checking a batch becomes counting rather than sifting, because one page is one parcel.
- ›Cropping is not shrinking — the barcode comes through at its printed size, so the scanner takes it first time.
