Your carrier may require more details (weight, service type, barcode, etc.). Always follow their instructions. ### Step 1 – Get set up for printing 1. Choose a **label printer** compatible with your carrier’s label size. 2. Check you have: - The correct label rolls. - Access to your carrier’s portal (if labels are generated there). ### Step 2 – Download order details from Slerp From your Slerp Controls dashboard: 1. Go to **Orders**. 2. Filter to the orders you need to ship (for example, “fulfilment date tomorrow”). 3. Use the option to **download or print order details**. 4. Use this list to: - Confirm addresses. - Cross‑check against your carrier labels. If you use **Composer**, it can also generate CSV exports and support more advanced label workflows. ### Step 3 – Generate labels Depending on your setup: - **If labels come from the carrier portal:** 1. Upload the CSV or type in the address details. 2. Generate and print the official carrier labels. - **If you print your own internal labels:** 1. Use the downloaded order details. 2. Print simple address + order ID stickers. Attach labels firmly to a flat surface on the box. Avoid corners or seams where they may peel off. ### Step 4 – Match labels to boxes To avoid mix‑ups: - Pack one order at a time where possible. - Place the printed label next to the order while packing. - Seal the box and attach the label immediately. - Do a final check against your pick list before handing parcels to the courier. ### Good practices - Keep a spare label roll and printer ribbon on site. - Reprint any labels that are smudged or mis‑aligned. - For multi‑parcel orders, add “Box 1 of 2”, “Box 2 of 2”, etc. - [Controls Dashboard](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Insights](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#insights) - [Orders Tab](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#orders-tab) - [Locations Tab](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#locations-tab) - [Products Tab](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#products-tab) - [Discounts / Customers Tab](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#discounts-customers-tab) - [Loyalty](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#loyalty) - [Designer Tab](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#designer-tab) - [Composer Tab](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#composer-tab) - [Dispatch Self-Serve](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#dispatch-self-serve) - [Settings Tab](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#settings-tab) - [Web Ordering](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/web-ordering?hsLang=en) - [App Ordering](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/app-ordering?hsLang=en) - [Partner App & Device](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/partner-app-device?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Slerp App](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/partner-app-device?hsLang=en#slerp-app) - [Printer & Hardware Devices](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/partner-app-device?hsLang=en#printer-hardware-devices) - [Delivery](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/delivery?hsLang=en#main-content) - [On Demand Last Mile Delivery](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/delivery?hsLang=en#on-demand-last-mile-delivery) - [Local And Nationwide Delivery](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/delivery?hsLang=en#local-and-nationwide-delivery) - [Slerp Success & Marketing](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/slerp-success-marketing?hsLang=en) - [Finance Enquiries](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/finance-enquiries?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Finance FAQ](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/finance-enquiries?hsLang=en#finance-faq) - [Reporting](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/finance-enquiries?hsLang=en#reporting) - [Invoice, Credit Notes and VAT Receipts](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/finance-enquiries?hsLang=en#invoice-credit-notes-and-vat-receipts) - [Franchise Attribution](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/finance-enquiries?hsLang=en#franchise-attribution) - [Integrations](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Slerp Menu & Order Manager](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#slerp-menu-order-manager) - [Deliverect](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#deliverect) - [Lightspeed](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#lightspeed) - [CRM](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#crm) - [3S POS](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#3s-pos) - [Urban Piper](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#urban-piper) - [Shipday](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#shipday) - [Custom Webhooks](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#custom-webhooks) - [FAQs](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/faqs?hsLang=en) - [Support and Updates](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/support-and-updates?hsLang=en) [![slerp.com](https://support.slerp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SLERP_Primary-Light_RGB-01-1.png?width=200&height=56&name=SLERP_Primary-Light_RGB-01-1.png "slerp.com")](http://www.slerp.com) [Contact Us](https://www.slerp.com/contact-us/) Copyright © 2025, Slerp
