# Creating Packages

In this setup, you define the **packaging types** available for shipment.\
You specify their **dimensions** and assign the corresponding **DPD parcel or package type**.

Only the packaging options defined here will be available when creating a **shipping label**.\
But the exact dimensions of the package can be adjusted directly in a sales order when creating a shipping label.
