In the Trunkrs Shipping Portal, you can create shipments in several ways. Below we explain the options, from manual to fully automatic.
Whichever method you choose, there are a few important basic rules for every shipment.
Important attention points
- Unique order reference: Always use a unique order reference per shipment. This is essential for tracking and potential claims.
- Complete recipient details: Ensure that name, email, address, and phone number are complete and correct.
- Multi-colli (multiple packages): Sending multiple packages to the same address? If you create these with the same address details, the system automatically recognizes it as a multi-colli shipment. Each package receives its own label.
Option 1: Manual creation (for single shipments)
This method is suitable if you want to quickly create one or a few shipments.
- Go to 'Shipments' in the portal.
- Click the '+ New Shipment' button.
- Follow the steps and fill in all requested recipient data, keeping the attention points above in mind.
- Click 'Save'. Your label is created immediately.
Option 2: Upload via file (for bulk shipments)
This is the fastest way to create multiple shipments at once.

Supported file formats
You can upload a file in one of the following formats: CSV, XLS, XLSX, or XLSB.
On the first upload, you 'match' your column names to the correct fields in our system. The portal remembers these settings for future uploads.

Option 3: Fully automatic (via integration)
