Choose the correct size
For most marketplace shipping labels, 4x6 thermal paper is the best choice. It is compact, faster to print, and allows direct packing without extra cutting.
What to check in your printer settings
- Set the paper size to 4x6 or 100x150 mm if supported.
- Use the correct thermal label roll orientation.
- Keep the barcode at a high contrast setting for better scan reliability.
- Always test one label before printing a full batch.
Why the crop step matters before printing
If the invoice is still on the page, your thermal printer may waste paper or print content that is not required for the courier. A clean crop keeps only the shipping label and ensures better tracking and smoother scanning.
