How to print a label for a Consignment

When printing off a Consignment label, Machship provides you with a few different ways to get this job done.

How to Navigate to Consignments

  • Unmanifested Consignments - To get to this screen, from the top menu select Create/Manage, scroll down to the Consignments section and click Unmanifested Consignments.

  • Active Consignments - To get to this screen, from the top menu select Create/Manage, scroll down to the Consignments section and click Active Consignments.

  • All Consignments - To get to this screen, from the top menu select Create/Manage, scroll down to the Consignments section and click All Consignments.


 

 

  • Consignment number via the search engine - To get to this screen, from the top right corner of the screen click on the magnifying glass to open the search engine.


Once the prompt has opened, enter your consignment number and it will auto-generate your consignment, see below:


Print Paperwork Prompt

To get this prompt to appear, you can either click on the orange circle icon or the drop-down cog. This will reveal a list of actions. Select Print Paperwork to bring up the prompt.


From here there are two ways you can obtain the Consignment Note Document.

Clicking on the printer that is aligned with Consignments, which will download only the Consignment Note Document or by clicking on the download button next to Zip All Paperwork. This will download all the paperwork that this consignment has produced.


With the item labels, Machship will give you some options to print. Just click on the drop-down arrow to see options.

 

Once you have clicked on these options, they will automatically download and will pop up at the bottom of your screen, as shown in the image below:

                               

NoteBy default, MachShip can produce 200 #Item labels per con, which is the maximum limit upon generating labels. In case you have exceeded the limit and booked the consignment, you will need to directly contact the carrier to cancel the consignment and re-create the consignment with a breakdown of the first 200 batches and another con for the next batch, and so on.

 

 The Zip file will open up to a folder with all your documents, as seen in the image below. Double click on the label you would like to print and follow the prompts. 

 

If you have selected to just print a Consignment, it will open in a separate window. From this screen, click on the printer that is showing in the top right corner of the screen, and from there follow the prompts. 

 

 

Note: This printing can be automated via the MachShip Printing Application. 

Its installation and set up guide are documented here.
