Snapdeal Shipping Label Size and the Best Thermal Roll
Snapdeal label PDFs are designed for paper, but the label itself prints best on a standard 4 × 6 inch thermal sticker – the size used by almost every courier in India.
Choosing one roll size for all your marketplaces keeps buying, storing and printing simple.
Sizes compared
- 4 × 6 in = 101.6 × 152.4 mm – the standard shipping label.
- 100 × 150 mm – the metric roll most Indian suppliers sell; almost identical.
- A6 = 105 × 148 mm – common on laser sticker sheets.
- 4 × 4 in – only for small labels; not recommended unless your courier accepts it.
Setting the size in the tool
In the Snapdeal label crop tool, choose the size under Label size. The label is scaled to fill the page while keeping its proportions, with the margin you set around it. Choose “Same as cropped area” if you want the label printed at its original size.
Buying thermal rolls
- Pick direct thermal labels (no ribbon needed).
- Check the core size and maximum roll diameter for your printer.
- Choose labels with a gap between them, not continuous paper.
- Buy a few rolls from a new supplier first and test the adhesive on your packaging.
Storage tips
Direct thermal labels react to heat and light. Store spare rolls in a cool, dark place and avoid leaving labelled parcels in direct sunlight for long periods.
