Flipkart Shipping Label Size and Format Requirements: Complete Seller Guide

Complying with Flipkart's shipping label dimensions and print standards is mandatory for smooth parcel acceptance by Ekart pickup executives. A label that is cropped, faint, or folded over the edge of a polybag will be rejected at the first sorting scan, resulting in missed dispatch SLAs and seller penalty points.

This guide provides exact dimensions, resolution requirements, and placement rules for printing compliant Flipkart shipping labels.

Flipkart Label Dimensional Standards

The Dual Label-Invoice Structure Explained

Unlike standard courier documents, Flipkart's default shipping document is divided horizontally into two sections: the top half contains the courier routing barcode, AWB, delivery address, and Ekart hub codes, while the bottom half contains the customer invoice summary (showing product description, HSN code, taxable value, GST breakup, and total amount). Both halves must print cleanly on the adhesive label.

Rules for Label Application on Packaging

• Never wrap the label around the side or seam of a box: Barcodes wrapped over sharp 90-degree box corners cannot be scanned by flatbed conveyor cameras.
• Ensure a completely flat surface: If shipping clothing or soft goods in polybags, flatten the garment before pressing the adhesive label down firmly.
• Avoid covering barcodes with tape: If using standard paper on non-thermal printers, use a document pouch or clear tape that covers only the text margins, keeping the barcode area uncovered.
• Do not fold the invoice portion inside: For standard orders, the integrated label must remain visible on the parcel exterior for GST transit verification.
