When calculating accurate shipping rates, it’s important to account not just for the product weight—but also the weight of your packaging. In VESYL, you can easily assign box weights to ensure your total shipment weight is correct every time.
How to Add Box Weight
To automatically include your box’s weight in the order’s total shipping weight:
Go to the Boxes tab in your VESYL dashboard.
Click Edit next to the box you'd like to update.
In the popup, scroll to the Box Weight (oz) field at the bottom.
Enter the weight of the box in ounces (oz).
You’ll see a message confirming that this weight will be added to your order total.
Click Save to apply.
Once saved, the box weight will automatically be added whenever that box is selected during order fulfillment.
Speed Things Up with Predefined Package Selections
VESYL makes it easy to stay consistent and save time with predefined packages.
Instead of entering dimensions and weight manually for every order, you can:
Create and save commonly used box sizes (with weights)
Quickly select your preferred package at the time of label creation
Ensure accuracy across your team with standardized options
This not only speeds up your workflow—it helps avoid miscalculations and unexpected shipping fees.
