About LabelKit

Straightforward tools built for small and mid-sized online sellers.

Why this site exists

If you sell on Flipkart or Meesho, you know the daily routine: download the labels from your seller panel, find a label on top of a tax invoice in every PDF, and then either waste a full A4 sheet per order or crop each label by hand. At ten orders that is fine. At a hundred it eats an hour of every day.

Tools for this do exist, but most of them want you to log in, or stop you after five free labels and ask for a plan, or upload your label file (the one with your customer's full name, address and phone number on it) to a server you know nothing about.

LabelKit is an answer to those three problems: free, no account, no upload.

How the tools work

Every tool runs entirely inside your browser. When you pick a PDF, that file does not move off your computer. Two open-source libraries, Mozilla's pdf.js and pdf-lib, read and write the PDF right there in the browser.

You can check this claim yourself. Open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and crop a file. You will see the page download the two PDF libraries it needs, but no request that sends your file anywhere.

How the cropping is decided

The tool reads the text inside the PDF (the courier name, the "TAX INVOICE" line, the SKU table) and uses it to work out whether a page carries a label and where to cut. Flipkart puts its label in the same spot on every page, so there we cut a measured rectangle. Meesho's labels vary in height, so there we read the position of the invoice's first line and cut just above it.

One detail that usually gets missed: we change the PDF's real page size, not only its crop box. That way a thermal printer sees a label-sized page and fits it to the roll. Otherwise many printers treat it as an A4 and print most of it blank.

How this is paid for

The site shows Google ads, and that covers the hosting and the domain. Nothing is charged for the tools, and no feature is held back behind a paywall.

Is this an official Flipkart or Meesho tool?

No. LabelKit is independent. The names of Flipkart, Meesho and the courier companies appear here only to describe which file formats the tools work with. We have no relationship, partnership or endorsement from any of them. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Ideas we are considering

  • Amazon and Shopsy label support
  • A preview before you print
  • Custom label sizes, for 2×4 inch rolls

None of these is promised yet. What gets built depends on what people ask for. Write in through the contact page.
