ParcelLabel API
home
Introduction
The ParcelLabel API is used to create parcel and destination specific shipping labels for domestic or international services.
You may apply to use a logo for your company to be incorporated onto your CourierPost and Pace shipping labels. Provided logos can be sent to techsupport@nzpost.co.nz and must be 1480 pixels wide by 380 pixels high in png format. Upon confirmation of receipt and acceptance of the label size and format, you will be provided with a logo id. CourierPost and Pace label requests that include a valid logo id will be created with the logo in place.
ParcelLabel includes the following resources:
| Name | Function | Verb |
|---|---|---|
