How to Create Label for an Order

What is a Label?

A label is a document generated for shipping purposes that contains essential information about the shipment, such as sender and receiver details, weight, dimensions, and shipping service. It is attached to the package to ensure proper handling and delivery by the courier service.

How is a Label Created and What is its Use?

Labels are created using shipping management systems and are essential for ensuring the correct and timely delivery of orders. They serve as a communication tool between the sender, courier, and recipient, containing tracking information and shipment details. This label will also be used by the warehouse team to create tracking information and facilitate further shipment processes.
