Scan to Assign Package Type and Purchase Labels in eHub Ship

Overview

You can print Package Barcodes to quickly assign package types and purchase labels using a handheld scanner. Each printed barcode includes the package name for quick identification. A Buy Label barcode is also included to purchase a label without changing the package type.



How to Print Package Barcodes

  1. Go to Settings > Packages
  2. Select Print Barcodes in the top-right corner


  3. In the Print To window, enter the number of Copies


  4. Choose how you want to print:

    Print Via QZ Tray — print directly to your printer 
    Preview in Browser — open a print-ready view in a new tab
    Download a PDF — save the barcode sheet to your computer

Once printed, each barcode will include:

  •  A scannable barcode
  • The associated Package Type name



How Scanning Barcodes Works

When you are on an Order screen and scan a Package Barcode:

  • The associated Package Type is automatically assigned to the order
  • A label is rate shopped and purchased based on your rules

This supports fast fulfillment workflows such as:

  • Scanning the Order Number barcode from a packing slip
  • Using Scan to Verify to confirm all products are included
  • Scanning a Package Barcode to assign packaging and purchase the label

Using the Buy Label Barcode

If the Package Type is already assigned (e.g., through eHub Pack or other automations):

  • Scan the Buy Label barcode instead
  • The system purchases and prints the label without reassigning a package type

The Buy Label barcode prints at the end of every Package Barcode sheet by default.
