# 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!
