How to sort marketplace labels by courier, quantity, and SKU

When several seller accounts and courier pickups are packed together, a single unsorted label stack creates avoidable searching. This workflow keeps dispatch priority, product picking, label printing, and pickup counts connected.

Start with courier priority

Upload all label PDFs for the packing session together. Grouping by courier creates one visible queue for Valmo, Delhivery, Shadowfax, Ekart, or any other courier detected in the PDF. The list is dynamic; couriers with no labels are not shown.

Pack the courier whose pickup closes first. Inside that courier group, sort by SKU so the same product can be picked and packed in one run.

Separate single and multi-quantity orders

Qty 1 orders are usually the fastest batch. Multi-quantity orders deserve a separate check because the same label may require two or more pieces. Mixing both groups is a common cause of short shipments.

The SRH Codes Labels tool creates Qty 1, Multi qty, and All labels subsets for every courier. Each subset has a matching picklist, so the document used for picking and the labels used for packing describe the same orders.

Choose 4-up or 6-up output

Use 4 labels per A4 page when readability and larger barcodes matter most. Use 6 labels per page when paper saving matters and your printer can reproduce smaller text and barcodes clearly.

Always print one test page at actual size. Disable browser options such as Fit to page when they introduce a second scaling step, and scan one barcode before printing the full batch.

Multiple seller accounts

You can upload PDFs from multiple seller accounts in one session. Seller detection is read from label text where available. Keep source PDFs as a fallback because marketplace formats and exchange labels may omit some fields.

After processing, compare total label count, courier counts, top SKU counts, and multi-quantity count with the marketplace dispatch screen before handing parcels to the courier.
