Parcel labeling of special products and services

Supplement to the Shipping Guideline

In order to ensure a smooth processing of all parcels, all necessary parcel labels and forms have to be filled in completely and clearly. In principle, all relevant parcel labels are to be placed on the largest side of the parcel. You can find further information in our packaging and shipping guidelines.


Parcel labeling “Cash-Service”

For parcel labeling and dispatch of your Cash-Service parcels use the special labels with the number range xx71 yyyyyyy:

GLS parcel label

Important:

It is absolutely necessary to make sure that on the parcel label the amount is given once with numbers and once with letters, in order to ensure the smooth delivery of the parcels and the bank transfer of the cash amount. Please do not forget to enter the currency code. The indication of the reason of payment is recommended.

Also mark your Cash-Service parcel with this additional sticker:

 

Cash-Service Label

 

In case you generate your parcel stickers for the Cash-Service using the GLS dispatch system*, the additional sticker is not necessary.

 


Parcel labeling “Euro Business-Parcel”

For the parcel labeling of export parcels (max. weight = 50 kg) please use this additional sticker:

Please note the respective country identifier before the postal code. It is not allowed to indicate P.O. Boxes.

 

When using the GLS dispatch system for your export parcels the following parcel label is generated:
