Creating Packages

In this setup, you define the packaging types available for shipment. You specify their dimensions and assign the corresponding DHL parcel or packet type.

Only the packaging options defined here will be available when creating a shipping label. Therefore, every type of packaging—even those used only once—must be created here!

To access the Basic Settings, proceed as follows:

Getting Started

Hovering over each field name will display additional information.
