Vinted Label Setup: Complete 4x6 Printer Setup Guide for Resellers

Set up Vinted labels for your 4x6 thermal printer in 2.5 minutes instead of hours. fetchin automatically fetches labels from your Vinted orders, crops them to perfect 4x6 format, adds SKUs, and merges everything into one print-ready PDF - all with one click.

The Problem: Vinted Labels Don't Fit 4x6 Printers

Vinted provides labels in A4 PDF format (8.27" x 11.69"), but most resellers use 4x6 thermal label printers (4" x 6" / 100mm x 150mm). Without proper setup, labels won't print correctly.

What happens without proper setup:

• ❌ Labels print too small or too large
• ❌ Wasted paper from incorrect sizing
• ❌ Manual cropping takes 20-30 seconds per label
• ❌ No automatic SKU matching - risk shipping wrong items
• ❌ Hours wasted every day for high-volume sellers

The Solution: Automated Label Setup with fetchin

fetchin is the fastest way to set up Vinted labels for 4x6 printers. Here's how it works:

What fetchin does automatically:

• ✅ Fetches all labels from your Vinted orders (no manual downloads)
• ✅ Detects courier type (Yodel, InPost, Evri) automatically
• ✅ Crops each label to perfect 4x6 format
• ✅ Adds SKUs automatically from order data
• ✅ Merges into one print-ready PDF in correct order
• ✅ Works on any device (browser-based, no desktop app needed)

Time investment:

• Setup: 30 seconds (one-time extension install)
• Per batch: 2.5 minutes for 50 labels
• Time saved: 1.5-2.5 hours per 50 labels vs manual methods

Why fetchin Beats Manual Setup Tools

⚡ Speed: 2.5 Minutes vs 1.5-2.5 Hours

Manual tools (Prafia, Label Dropper):

• Download each label manually
• Crop each label manually
• Organize labels manually
• Match SKUs manually
• 50 labels = 1.5-2.5 hours

fetchin:

• Everything automatic
• 50 labels = 2.5 minutes

Time saved: 1.5-2.5 hours per 50 labels

🎯 SKU Integration: Automatic vs Manual

Manual tools: No SKU integration. Print labels, then manually match them to orders - time-consuming and error-prone. Risk shipping wrong items.

fetchin: SKUs automatically added to labels from order data. Labels match orders automatically - no confusion, no mistakes, no stress.

📦 Batch Processing: True Automation vs Partial

Prafia: One label at a time. No batch processing.

Label Dropper: Batch processing available, but still requires:

• Manual downloads from Vinted
• Manual organization
• No SKU integration
• Desktop app (only works on one device)

fetchin: True batch processing:

• Fetches all labels automatically
• Processes all at once
• SKUs included automatically
• One merged PDF ready to print
• Works on any device (browser-based)

🌐 Platform & Device Support

Manual tools: Vinted only, limited device support

fetchin:

• ✅ Vinted + Depop support
• ✅ Works on any device with Chrome

Why Resellers Choose fetchin

1. Time is Money

If you're processing 50 orders daily:

• Manual setup: 1.5-2.5 hours per day = 7.5-12.5 hours per week
• fetchin: 2.5 minutes per day = 12.5 minutes per week

Time saved: 7-12 hours per week

At minimum wage (£11.44/hour), that's £80-137 saved per week in time value.

2. Scale Without Stress

Manual tools work fine for 5 orders. But when you hit 20, 30, or 50 orders daily, manual setup becomes a bottleneck. fetchin scales effortlessly - same 2.5 minutes whether you have 10 or 100 labels.

3. Fewer Mistakes

Automatic SKU integration means labels match orders automatically. No more shipping the wrong item because you matched the wrong label. Zero mistakes, zero stress.

4. Integrated Workflow

fetchin integrates with your entire workflow:
