[Labels and list](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/base-de-connaissance-en/the-8-preparation-methods?hsLang=en#labels-and-list) October 30, 2026 # LABEL AND LIST PREPARATION PROCESS ## The "label and list slip" format generates all the slips and labels for a session’s orders as soon as it is created. This tutorial explains the complete process, from creating the session to sending the orders.   #### **Benefits of the feature ✨** - **Time savings in order preparation:** The process automatically generates all slips and labels as soon as the session is created, which reduces the time spent manually handling each order. - **Optimization for low-volume orders:** Ideal for orders with few product lines, this preparation mode simplifies the workflow by avoiding the complexity of large orders, especially during peak periods. - **Simplicity for best-sellers:** It makes it possible to efficiently target fast-moving items by creating sessions specific to a particular SKU, thus making it easier to manage high-demand products.     ### 1. Prerequisites - This process is available starting from the **Pro + Pack**. - This feature must be activated by our support team, which you can contact [here.](https://support.shippingbo.com/?hsLang=en) - If you need to print customs documents at the same time as the labels, you will have to choose another preparation process.   ### 2. Diagrams of the process recommended by Shippingbo ![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-23-2026-03-49-31-8517-PM.png?width=670&height=352&name=image-png-Oct-23-2026-03-49-31-8517-PM.png) To better understand when stock decrements and the picking phase occur with this preparation process: ![](https://knowledge.shippingbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-10-2024-07-03-03-5776-AM.png?width=406&height=522&name=image-png-Sep-10-2024-07-03-03-5776-AM.png) **⭐ Key point:** - Label mode preparation is recommended for handling orders with few product lines - The label and list mode is also a good preparation mode to use during your peak season, by running best-seller sessions and targeting one particular SKU per session. This preparation mode is not recommended for orders with many product lines **🚩 Special case:** - This preparation process **is not compatible** with the generation of customs documents such as the CN23. - This process **is not compatible with handling multiple parcels for one order**     ### 3.
