API Overview

Labelling V4

New API to create shipping labels

In our distribution process, shipping labels are used to guide parcels on their way to delivery, and PostNL relies on the information printed on those labels. This makes it a crucial step in the parcel’s journey from sender to receiver. The Labelling v4 API validates the logistics data you submit, checking whether all required and correct data is provided.
Please note that in version 4, the pre-announcement is no longer performed automatically. After calling the Label API, you must pre-announce the shipment data using the Confirming v4 service.
