Labels Management
The Labels Management panel is where you upload, organize, and manage the shipping labels that the warehouse applies to your outbound packages. You can access it by clicking the My Labels button on the Inventory page. Keeping your labels organized and up to date is essential for smooth shipment requests.
How Labels Work
When you request a shipment, the warehouse needs shipping labels to send your items out. Labels you upload here become available to select during the shipment request process. The warehouse team will print and apply the labels you specify to each package before it leaves the facility.
This system gives you full control over which carrier labels and shipping methods are used for your outbound orders, whether you are fulfilling FBM orders with your own labels or providing FBA shipping labels for Amazon-bound inventory.
Viewing Your Labels
When you open the My Labels panel, you will see a list of all labels you have previously uploaded. Each entry shows the label file name and any relevant details. You can scroll through the list to find a specific label or use the interface to browse your uploads.
Take time periodically to review your label library. Over time, labels accumulate and it can become difficult to find the right one during a time-sensitive shipment request if your list is cluttered with outdated files.
Uploading New Labels
To upload a new label, click the upload button within the My Labels panel and select the label file from your computer. Label files are typically PDFs generated from your carrier account or selling channel.
When uploading, use a clear and descriptive naming convention so you can quickly identify each label later. For example, including the carrier name, order number, or destination in the file name makes it much easier to pick the correct label when you are submitting a shipment request. A name like "UPS-Order12345-FBA-Shipment.pdf" is far more useful than "label.pdf."
Deleting Old Labels
Remove labels that are no longer needed by selecting them and clicking delete. Keeping stale labels around creates clutter and increases the chance of accidentally selecting the wrong label during a shipment request. Make it a habit to clean up labels after their associated shipments have been completed and confirmed.
Selecting Labels for Shipment Requests
During the shipment request process, you will be prompted to attach or select labels from your uploaded library. You can choose specific pages from a multi-page label file if only certain pages are relevant to that shipment.
Before submitting any shipment request, double-check that you have selected the correct label pages. Sending the wrong label to the warehouse can result in packages being shipped to the wrong destination or with the wrong carrier, which creates delays and additional costs.
Tips for Label Management
- Use consistent naming conventions. Standardize how you name label files so your team can find what they need quickly.
- Remove stale labels regularly. After a shipment is completed, delete the associated labels to keep your library clean.
- Verify selected pages before submitting. If your label file has multiple pages, confirm that you have selected the right pages for the shipment you are requesting.
- Upload labels before starting a shipment request. Having your labels ready in the system before you begin the request workflow saves time and avoids interruptions.
