A shipping label is a document, either physical or electronic, that provides crucial details about a parcel shipment. This information typically comprises the sender's and recipient's addresses, the package's dimensions, weight, tracking number, and any specific handling instructions.
Serving as a means of identification for parcels, shipping labels enable carriers and logistics personnel to accurately track and route shipments throughout the shipping process. Typically attached to the outside of the parcel for easy visibility and scanning, they facilitate efficient handling and transportation.
