Reports
Shipping labels
Every purchased label in the period with postage, box, and packing-material costs.
Intro
Shipping labels is the line-by-line view behind the Overview totals — one row per active label, with everything that label cost you.
Purpose
- Reconcile a carrier invoice against what ShipManta purchased
- Find expensive outliers (oversized boxes, wrong service level)
- Export a clean label ledger for accounting

Labels table
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Shipment | Shipment reference — opens the shipment |
| Tracking | Carrier tracking number |
| Carrier / Service | What was purchased |
| Postage | Label cost |
| Box / Box cost | Container used and its snapshotted cost |
| Materials | Heat packs, gel packs, insulation, padding, and any other accessories on that label (one total) |
| Total | Postage + box + materials |
| Shipped | Ship date used for the report |
Packing accessories are rows on the label (order_shipment_label_materials), not extra columns. When you add a new material under Advanced → Packing Materials, the next labels you buy store another row — the table does not grow a new Heat/Gel-style column.
Active labels only — voided or replaced labels are excluded. The table returns up to 500 labels; narrow the date range for busy stores. Break packing spend down by type on Packing materials.
Tips
- Sort by Total to find the shipments that cost the most to get out the door.
- A label with $0.00 postage was imported from Shopify (store-synced) rather than purchased in ShipManta.
- Export CSV at month end and keep it with the carrier invoice.
