Place the printed label

To get fast, error-free shipping, place a label or sheet with the following information on your merchandise:

Sender information

• Name
• Address (street, neighborhood, ZIP or postal code)
• Weights and dimensions
• References

Recipient information

• Name or company
• Destination city
• Address (street, neighborhood, ZIP or postal code)
• Phone

It is a good idea to include copies and supporting invoices in your shipments, or at least in one part of your merchandise.

Placement instructions

• Print the label and make sure it is clear and readable.
• Place the label in a plastic pouch or adhesive sleeve.
• If you use a pouch, stick it on the outside of the package. If you do not use a pouch, stick the label directly on the package.
• If you do not use a pouch, make sure the edges are fully taped down.
• Check that the label faces up and is visible.

Correct label placement

Incorrect label placement

Covered label

A label that is partially covered by tape is hard to read.

Label on two sides

Placing the label across two sides of the box can cause confusion.

Wrinkled label

A folded or wrinkled label hides the information.
