Some shipping platforms only provide you with a full page (8.5" x 11") document. 

 

Frequently, they use half of the page for the shipping label and the other half for receipt or packing slip.

 

While there are many ways to split this page into a 4" x 6" label size, here is our favorite method:

 

Using Adobe "Take a Snapshot" 

(1)Download Adobe Reader if you do not have it already from Adobe website.

(2)Save your label as a PDF file.

(3)Open the file in Adobe Reader

(4)Rotate the label if needed by going to View -> Rotate View

(5)Go to Edit -> Take a Snapshot

(6)Click and drag the box over your label

(7)Go to File -> Print 

(8)If preview looks good, click "Print"

 

Note: If you are shipping more than a few labels, you would benefit from using a commercial solution that create 4 x 6 labels in one-click. See this article: How do I generate labels?
