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 Courier and Express 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. Courier and Express label requests that include a valid logo id will be created with the logo in place.

ParcelLabel includes the following resources:

Name Function Verb
