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:
Go to Settings → Shipping & Delivery
Scroll to the Shipping Package section
Click + Shipping Package
Enter the following details:
Package Name (e.g., "2-Bottle Box")
Length
Width
Height
Weight
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.
