# Packing ### Overview Packing completes the fulfillment cycle with accuracy, speed, and traceability. Orders are validated, packaged, and shipped with labels generated automatically from predefined rules — ensuring every order leaves the warehouse without delay. ### How It Works Packing begins in the Handling section, where scanning the assigned container links the order and retrieves its details. Each item is then scanned to validate accuracy before packing. Once items are confirmed, the operator selects the appropriate packaging. For multi-package orders, items are scanned and packed into the first package, then saved in the system. The process repeats for the next package until all items are packed. This scan-as-you-go approach keeps accuracy high while allowing operators to work seamlessly through multiple packages. {% embed url="" %} Executing the Packing workflow — confirming items and finalizing the order for shipment. {% endembed %} With packaging defined, the system automatically generates shipping labels based on predefined rules. These rules can use the cheapest available carrier rate, follow a carrier preference defined by the shopper or customer, or apply specific conditions set through order automations. Once labels and any required documentation are created, the operator prints and applies them — completing the order with full traceability and no downtime. ### Why It Matters * Guarantees accuracy with item-level scanning before sealing any order. * Increases flexibility by allowing orders to be split into multiple packages seamlessly. * Eliminates delays with automated label generation driven by shopper preferences, customer rules, or automation logic. * Ensures shipping compliance by automatically generating required documents, from labels to commercial invoices. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
