Split a parcel label: cut an A4 page in the middle

Split parcel label: cut an A4 page and print it online

Parcel labels and shipping receipts often arrive as an A4 page with two things stacked on top of each other: the label itself and a receipt below it. Anyone who wants to print the label on a label printer used to have to edit the page with another program first. With this tool you can split parcel label PDFs without opening an image or PDF editor: the page is cut along the line, and each half becomes its own page in the right size, turned to portrait if you like.

By default the tool cuts exactly in the middle, so one A4 page becomes two A5 halves. When you split parcel label pages you decide whether the cut runs across (top and bottom) or lengthwise (left and right), whether to keep both halves or only one, and whether to rotate the pages so the label sits upright in the printer. The position of the line can be set between 10 and 90 percent if label and receipt are not the same size.

The result consists of real pages in the size of the half, not one page with a hidden rest. That keeps printing simple: you see the pages in a preview, pick the ones you want and print them with one click, without margin and without scaling. If you do not only need to split parcel label sheets but any PDF in the middle, for example to separate double pages from scans, use the same setting and place the cut lengthwise.

Everything runs on our own servers in Germany, is held in memory only and deleted after the download, at the latest after an hour. Please note: even when you split parcel label pages, the other part stays invisibly inside the file. Do not pass the file on if the other half is confidential. The original is never changed.
