What is a shipping label?

A shipping label, also known as a freight label, is placed on the exterior of a shipment to provide the delivery person with the necessary information about the package, the recipient, and the sender.

The typical information listed for the recipient includes their full name, address, postal code, and city. The shipping label also contains details about the sender, as well as a barcode and a package number.

This number can be used for ongoing tracking, allowing the receiver to see when the package is expected to arrive.

At PostNord, for example, they use a barcode when they need to scan the package, whereas GLS uses a QR code instead. This can, however, vary from carrier to carrier.
