What is a Pallet Manifest?
A pallet manifest is a detailed list of how your products are packaged together within a shipping plan broken down by each individual pallet. It includes:
- The SKUs you are sending to the warehouse.
- The box number those SKUs are packed in.
- The quantity of each SKU you are sending per box.
- The pallet number where each box has been placed
In the example below, this customer is sending 2 unique pallets (Pallet #s 1 & 2).
Pallet 1 contains:
- Box 1 to 4 contains Captain-America (250 units).
Pallet 2 contains:
- Box 1 & 2 contains Iron-man (300 units).

Parcel Shipping Plan Labels
The layout for Parcel Shipping Plan labels, automatically configures the required labels based on the Shipping Plan’s packing setup by adding the total quantity of items within each box and marking them as Parcel Mixed when in a multiple box configuration, helping to streamline the receiving process at the warehouse.
It also prints two barcodes, allowing you to place them on opposite faces of the box. This helps to improve the scanning efficiency at the warehouse when boxes are in piles.
Download Parcel Shipping Plan Labels
You can download the Parcel Shipping Plan labels once you complete creating the shipping plan or box manifest.
- Open the Shipping Plan just created.
- If Shipping Plan’s status is still “Processing”, please wait until it changes (labels are being generated)
- Click on the Print icon next to the “Shipping plan details” title at the right of the screen
- Place the correspondent packing slip inside each box
- Make sure to place shipping labels and barcodes outside of each box in a visible place
There is a limitation of not more than 200 boxes on a single Parcel Shipping Plan. If more than 200 boxes are required to be sent to the warehouse, it will need to be split into multiple Shipping Plans.
If you are sending pallets, please print the pallet tags before sending them to the warehouse.
