How to Print 4 Shipping Labels Per A4 Page (4-Up Printing Guide)
Printing one shipping label per A4 sheet wastes 75% of your paper. 4-up printing arranges four labels on a single page, which you then cut and stick. Here's how to do it with marketplace labels from Amazon, Flipkart, or Meesho.
What is 4-Up Label Printing?
"4-up" means arranging four items in a 2×2 grid on a single page. For shipping labels, this means each A4 sheet holds four labels — one in each quadrant. After printing, you cut along the grid lines and attach each label to its package.
This approach is ideal for sellers who:
- Use regular desktop printers (inkjet or laser)
- Process 10–100+ orders daily
- Want to minimize paper costs
Step-by-Step: 4-Up Printing
Download labels from your marketplace
Go to your seller panel and export shipping labels for all pending orders as a single PDF.
Upload to the 4-up tool
Open our free label cropper and select "A4" print mode. Drop your PDF into the upload area.
Print the output
The tool generates a PDF with labels arranged in a 2×2 grid with faint cut-lines. Print and cut.
Print Settings for Best Results
- Paper size: A4 (210 × 297 mm)
- Scaling: Set to "Actual size" or "100%" — do not use "Fit to page"
- Margins: None or minimal
- Quality: Normal or draft is fine — shipping labels don't need high quality
