Creating Shipping Packages

Updated over a week ago

Creating shipping packages ensures your shipping rates are accurate and that your labels are generated correctly. These dimensions are used when calculating live rates and creating labels through Corksy.

Create a shipping package

From your Corksy admin portal:

  1. Go to Settings → Shipping & Delivery

  2. Scroll to the Shipping Package section

  3. Click + Shipping Package

    • Enter the following details:

    • Package Name (e.g., "2-Bottle Box")

    • Length

    • Width

    • Height

    • Weight

  4. Select Save

⚠️ Important: The weight should reflect the empty box (including inserts or dividers), without bottles. This ensures more accurate label generation and live rate estimates.


Best practices for package setup

  • Create a shipping package for each box size you use (e.g., 2-bottle, 4-bottle, 6-bottle, 12-bottle)

  • Use a digital scale to weigh your packaging materials accurately

  • Update package dimensions if your packaging changes

📦 Pro Tip: If you’re using live rates (e.g., UPS/FedEx), Corksy will use the package info and bottle weight to generate accurate shipping quotes and labels automatically.
