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:
1."Take a Snapshot"
2."Crop pages" -> Remove White Margins:
