Some customers have a setup where one person prepares the shipments while another finalizes them and prints the labels. Sometimes, the labels and waybill documents are printed on a different departure date or when loading onto a truck.
You can prepare shipments and print the labels at a later time. This is made easy with Print Boxes, which are virtual containers that hold your shipments until you’re ready to print them.
Follow these steps to use Print Boxes:
- Go to Ship > Print Boxes to add or edit Print Boxes. You will have one default Print Box which can be renamed.
- To create a new Print Box, click Add and enter a name.
- Click Save to create the Print Box. It should now appear on the dropdown list of Print Boxes.
Placing a shipment in a Print box
- Go to Ship > New and fill in your shipment information.
- When ready to print, click the three-dots menu next to the Print button and choose a Print Box.
- Click the Print button to finalize the shipment and send it to the Print Box. The button will look like this when a Print Box is selected:
- Go to the Print Boxes tab and click the name of the Print Box you have used. You will see a list of all the shipments you have placed in the Print Box.
- Click the Print button to print the labels and documents in the Print Box.
