How to Separate Invoices from Shipping Labels in Bulk PDFs (Fr...

Stop printing invoices with shipping labels. Our free tool splits mixed PDFs automatically for Meesho, Flipkart, Amazon, Etsy and more.

Introduction

Every day, Indian e-commerce sellers waste 15–30 minutes manually separating shipping labels from tax invoices before printing. On a 100-order day, that's hours lost.

Most platforms — Meesho, Flipkart, Amazon — export shipping labels and GST invoices as a single mixed PDF. Your printer doesn't know which page is which. You end up printing invoices on label stock, or worse, stapling the wrong invoice to the wrong order.

The Real Cost of Mixed PDFs

  • Wrong invoice attached → customer complaints and refund requests
  • Invoices printed on label stock → wasted thermal paper
  • Manual sorting takes 15–30 min per batch
  • For 300 orders/day: ~1.5 hrs of manual PDF sorting daily
  • Returns surge when customers receive someone else\s invoice,
"We had 8 out of 50 orders returned in one week. Every single one had the wrong invoice. After separating PDFs automatically, our return rate dropped 80%." — Meesho seller with 4,000+ monthly orders

How to Separate Labels from Invoices (Step-by-Step)

  1. Download your bulk PDF from Meesho, Flipkart, Amazon, or Etsy seller panel
  2. Open our free Invoice & Label Separator tool
  3. Drag-and-drop the PDF or click Browse
  4. The tool reads each page and classifies it as Label, Invoice, or Unclear
  5. Review the classification grid — override any misclassified page with one click
  6. Click "Download Labels PDF" and "Download Invoices PDF" separately
  7. Print labels on your thermal printer and invoices on A4 paper

How the Classification Works

Invoice keywords detected: tax invoice · GST invoice · GSTIN · CGST · SGST · IGST · HSN · taxable amount · packing slip · bill of supply Label keywords detected: ship to · AWB no · consignee · tracking no · Delhivery · XpressBees · dispatch date · shipment ID

The tool reads the text content of each PDF page using your browser's built-in PDF engine. No upload to any server — everything runs locally.

Platforms Where This Saves the Most Time

  • Amazon India — Fulfilled by Merchant orders export combined PDFs
  • Etsy — international sellers see combined packing slip and label downloads
  • WooCommerce — plugins like WooCommerce PDF Invoices bundle both in one file
  • Shopify — third-party shipping apps sometimes bundle invoices with labels

  • click the Label or Invoice button on that page to override, Pages with no detectable text (image-only) show as Unclear — override manually, After downloading
