## Shipping Execution

### Label Engine

#### Create, customize, and apply labels with ease

Use a centralized interface to manage and scale all aspects of labeling.

#### Ensure Label Throughput

Maintain rapid label printing and support enterprise-level throughput, regardless of carrier API performance.

#### Streamline Complex Workflows

Automate and simplify complex processes with bulk API requests for rate shopping and label generation.

#### Customize Labels to Unique Needs

Easily adapt labels to fit your specific business requirements, whether you're a 3PL needing to add a tenant's logo or require special properties for perishable goods.

## Here’s how Label Engine supports labeling at scale

### Extensive Carrier and Label Configuration

Leverage a comprehensive set of configuration options. Manage your carrier service methods, apply surcharge modifiers, map fulfillment centers, and customize label settings all from one centralized platform.

### Custom Label Augmentations

Change the layout, data, and design of your labels by customizing the ZPL code, ensuring they meet your exact brand and operational specifications.

### Bulk Label Generation

Create (or void) labels for multiple shipments at once, whether they're all going to one location or to many.

### Advanced Label Properties

Easily add special handling instructions to your labels. Shipium allows you to specify details like required signature, Saturday delivery, or perishable goods directly on labels to ensure carriers handle your packages correctly.

### Multi-Tenant Customizations

Customize labels to suit different tenant requirements. You can add unique logos, return addresses, or custom data via a self-service interface.

### Advance Label Creation

Generate labels up to 60 days in advance — and even rate shop up to 14 days ahead without needing to create a physical label.

### Labels Without Costing

Print labels without providing costing information when needed – for example, when working with tenants who have their own confidential, off-platform rates.

### Label Failover

Maintain your business continuity even when a carrier APIs are slow or unavailable. Our system continues label printing operations, then syncs changes to carrier APIs when they’re back online.
