A shipping label is a type of identification label that contains crucial information about a package, such as the sender and recipients name and address, package weight, tracking number, and barcode. Shipping labels are used by carriers to transport packages from their start destination (such as a warehouse or fulfillment center) to their end destination (the customers doorstep). They are designed to be read by both humans and machines, and each carrier uses a specific template for its shipping labels. Shipping labels are important because they ensure that packages reach their intended destination quickly and efficiently. Without clear shipping labels, packages can be delayed in transit, delivered to the wrong address, or lost entirely, leading to a negative customer experience and potentially damaging brand loyalty. Shipping labels can be created manually through a carriers online services or using third-party software solutions.
