Capture package weight and dimensions
Recording a box’s weight and dimensions at the pack bench makes shipping labels accurate and helps catch packing mistakes.
Capture it during packing
As you finish a box in the packing module:
- Place the sealed box on a scale at the pack station.
- Enter the weight.
- Confirm the box size (pre-filled if the order’s products carry dimensions).
This information flows straight into the shipping label.
Why it matters
- Accurate carrier charges — carriers bill on weight and size; a guessed weight means an over- or under-charge.
- A built-in check — if a box weighs noticeably less than expected, something was probably missed. Weight is a quiet last line of defense against a short shipment.
- Faster labels — no re-keying weight into a separate carrier tool.
Make it a habit
A scale at every pack station and a “weigh before you label” rule costs seconds and prevents both billing surprises and missing-item complaints.
Tip: note the expected weight on common orders. A packer who knows “this order should be about 4 kg” catches a missing item the moment the scale disagrees.
