Meesho Label Format Guide – Understanding Meesho Shipping Label PDF Structure

When you process orders on Meesho, shipping labels are generated by the platform and provided as downloadable PDF files. Understanding the format and structure of these labels is essential for efficient packing and dispatch — especially if you're using tools like the Meesho Label Crop Tool to automate label sorting.

This guide explains everything you need to know about the Meesho shipping label format, what information each label contains, and how to work with them efficiently.

How Meesho Generates Shipping Labels

When you accept an order on Meesho and it is ready for dispatch, the platform assigns a courier partner (Delhivery, Shadowfax, XpressBees, or Valmo) and generates a shipping label. These labels are downloaded as PDF files from the Meesho Supplier Panel.

Key points about Meesho label generation:

• Multiple labels per PDF: When you select multiple orders and click "Download Labels", Meesho combines all selected labels into a single PDF file.
• Different formats per courier: Each courier partner may have slightly different label layouts, but all contain the essential shipping information.
• Supplier-specific labels: If you have multiple supplier accounts on Meesho, labels from each account are downloaded separately.

What Information Does a Meesho Label Contain?

Each Meesho shipping label includes the following key information that tools like CropSort use for automated processing:

• Sub Order Number: The unique identifier for each order item. This is crucial for tracking and matching orders.
• SKU Code: The supplier's product SKU. The Meesho Label Crop Tool reads this to group labels by product.
• Product Name and Variant: Description of the ordered item including size, color, or other variants.
• Quantity: Number of units in this particular order. Multi-quantity orders require special handling during packing.
• Customer Address: Delivery address including city, state, and PIN code.
• Courier Partner: The assigned logistics partner (Delhivery, Shadowfax, XpressBees, Valmo).
• AWB Number: The Air Waybill tracking number assigned by the courier.
• Barcode: Machine-readable barcode for courier scanning.

Label Size and Layout

Meesho shipping labels follow standard sizes that are compatible with most thermal printers used in eCommerce warehouses:

• Standard size: Each label typically occupies half an A4 page (approximately 4×6 inches or 100×150mm).
• Two labels per page: When downloaded, PDF pages typically contain two labels stacked vertically on an A4 page.
• Orientation: Labels are generally in portrait orientation, with the barcode section prominently placed.

This is why a meesho label crop tool is essential — it separates each label from the combined page and crops it to the individual label size for printing.

Common Label Format Variations

By Courier Partner

Different courier partners have slightly different label layouts:

• Delhivery labels: Feature the Delhivery logo and may include route codes for sorting at courier hubs.
• Shadowfax labels: Include Shadowfax-specific tracking identifiers and delivery zone codes.
• XpressBees labels: May have a different barcode placement and include weight-based routing information.
• Valmo labels: Regional courier labels that may have different address formatting.

Multi-Quantity Order Labels

When a customer orders multiple quantities of a product, Meesho generates separate labels for each unit. For example, if someone orders 3 units of a T-shirt, you'll get 3 individual labels with the same Sub Order Number but marked as "1 of 3", "2 of 3", and "3 of 3".

The meesho shipping label tool by CropSort handles this automatically — it identifies multi-quantity orders and keeps them grouped together in the sorted output.

How to Download Meesho Labels

1. Log into your Meesho Supplier Panel
2. Go to Orders → Select the orders tab (Pending, Ready to Ship)
3. Select the orders you want to process
4. Click "Download Labels"
5. Save the PDF file to your computer

Once downloaded, you can upload all these PDF files to the Meesho Label Crop Tool for automated processing.

Processing Labels Efficiently

Understanding the label format helps you make the most of label processing tools. Here's how the format information is used:

• The SKU code on each label is extracted to build the SKU Grouping file automatically.
• The courier information allows automatic separation of labels by delivery partner.
• The quantity field ensures multi-quantity orders are grouped correctly.
• The label dimensions are used for precise cropping to match standard thermal printer sizes.

Best Practices for Label Management

• Download labels in batches: Process all pending orders together rather than one by one.
• Maintain a consistent SKU Grouping file: Keep updating the same SKU_Grouping file. This way, previously mapped SKUs are automatically recognized.
• Verify label quality: Ensure downloaded PDFs are not corrupted — labels should be clearly visible and barcodes should be sharp.
• Use the Combined Order list: The manifest generated by CropSort shows the count of orders per SKU group, helping your packing team prepare the right quantities.
