Learn how to use Pirate Ship's Saved Package feature to save time when creating your labels

Updated over 2 months ago

Saved Packages are a great feature to utilize if you ship tons of the same-sized packages. This is perfect for subscription box businesses, coffee companies, or those who ship the same items repeatedly.

How to create a Saved Package

  • Creating a Saved Package While Shipping: Whether you're importing from one of our integrations or you need to send one box, you can create a Saved Package by selecting the checkbox labeled "Save Package" when creating a label.

    • Here's where to find that checkbox:

  • Enter Your Package Details: Simply enter the package details as usual. Remember that whatever you enter will be saved for future use 😉 If the "Save Package" checkbox is selected, your package will be saved!

    • You Need to Add Size & Weight: To create a saved package, you're required to include both the size and weight. However, you can edit these as needed when creating a label!

    • Use Extra Services (if Needed): In your Saved Package presets, you can also include customs forms for international shipments, Signature Confirmation service, or any other details found under "Extra Services" you'd like to add!

  • Another Way to Create a Saved Package: As an alternative, you can head to Settings > Saved Packages and click the blue "Create Saved Package" button.

How to delete or edit existing Saved Packages

  • Manage Saved Packages: You can manage your Saved Packages by going to Settings > Saved Packages. Once there, you can edit existing Saved Packages, delete old ones, and make whichever one you want your default (which means it's pre-selected when you create a new label)

  • Modifying a Saved Package: When creating a label, you can always click the "Modify Package" checkbox if you need to change anything in a Saved Package, such as the weight or customs information.

    • Here's where to find that checkbox:

  • Updating a Saved Package: After making your modifications to your Saved Page, click the "Update Saved Package" checkbox at the bottom of the page if you'd like to save your changes.

    • Here's how that looks when creating a single label:
