Packaging is essential when shipping internationally, as it helps reduce damage during transit and avoids weight discrepancy issues. By adding packaging information, you can speed up the shipment booking process, as you can select from previously added packaging instead of creating new packaging each time.

1. Login into your Terminal Africa account.

3. Navigate to the Packaging tab; you will see some added packaging information there.

4. Click the “Create your packaging” button to add a new package. A pop-up form will appear.

5. Select the type of package you would like to add (flyer, box, or envelope). Provide a name, dimensions, unit, and weight.
