Packing Container Types

Packing containers represent the physical containers in which picked items are packed for the handover. For orders that are shipped, this is most likely a package. But it could also be a bag that is handed over to the customer in a store.

When creating a packing container you have to choose one of your preconfigured packing container types. This page explains how to configure those types.

Packing Container Types

Packing Container Types are integral to our packing process.

• Packing container types handle:

  • included dimensions (optional)

  • included the info how much maximum weight it can carry (optional)

  • included an icon

  • included a name & description

  • included the info how much maximum weight it can carry

Creating a new packing container type via REST API:
