# Assign Packaging to a Shipment

Delivery Hub streamlines the packing and shipping process by providing you with all the information you need to select the most efficient packaging and carrier for each shipment.

## Prepare Shipments Using Smart Pack

Delivery Hub can suggest the most efficient packaging for each shipment using the dimensions you provide in **Settings > Packages** and our boxing algorithm**.** When you enable **Smart Pack,** Delivery Hub automatically adds the inventory in a shipment to packages, so all packers need to do is print the packing slip and pack.

#### Confirm packaging selection

If the suggested packages are suitable, move to the next step by selecting a carrier and service level. If that has already been assigned, select **Book & Print** to confirm the packaging and carrier assignments and send the fulfillment's documentation to the printer.

#### Undo Smart Pack

Sometimes you may need to reassign packaging to inventory, for example, if you have run out of a specific type of packaging.

To redo packaging assignments, select **Undo Smart Pack unpack one item by selecting the action menu > Return to Items to pack.** This moves items back to the inventory list. Then assign items to new packaging based on the instructions below.

## Manually Select and Assign Packaging

**Step 1** Go to **Fulfillments** and select the ID of a fulfillment to pack.

**Step 2** Check the **Dimensions** and **Quantity** of the items to be packed.

**Step 3** Select **Add Package** then choose the packaging that best fits the dimensions of the items to be packed.

**Step 4** Select the amount of each item to pack. For example, the order might include three t-shirts, but you may only have room for two of them in a package.

**Step 5** Hover over the first item to pack, then select **Pack**.

**Step 6** Continue until items are packed, adding packages as needed.

**Step 7** Once you are happy with the packaging selection, move to the next step by assigning a carrier and service level. If a carrier and service level has already been assigned, you can finalize the packaging and carrier assignment by selecting **Book & Print**. Alternatively, you can [create a shipment without booking with a carrier](/delivery-hub/docs/pack#create-shipment-without-booking).

## Create Shipment without Booking

There are times when it is necessary to create an unbooked shipment. This is most likely to occur when you need to change the details of a shipment before assigning it to a carrier, or when you are unable to assign a carrier and don't want to lose the progress you have made with packing the shipment. To create a shipment without assigning it to a carrier, select **Create Shipment**, then select **Save Without Booking**. The shipment is assigned the **New** status and can be found in the **Shipments** screen when you are ready to book it.
