2D Barcodes
With this option, Boxem will incorporate 2D barcodes containing your box content information on your FBA box labels. This streamlined process allows Amazon to scan the 2D barcodes upon arrival at the fulfillment center, efficiently identifying each box's contents.
If you're new to using 2D barcodes for box content, check out Amazon's article, which explains how it works: 2D barcodes for box content information
You'll also need to ensure the 2D barcode setting is enabled within your account in Seller Central. For steps to help with this, check out this article: How To Enable 2D Barcodes
Once that's been set, your FBA Box labels will look something like this when using the 2D barcode box content method in Boxem:

But first, you'll need to assign your products to boxes and enter their dimensions and weights. Let's get started!
You'll find the products in the shipment listed on the left side of the page. As you create boxes and assign the products to them, they will be displayed on the right.

Assigning Products to Boxes
Boxem offers you the flexibility to assign products to boxes according to your preference. Whether you prefer to assign products individually or in bulk, we've got you covered.
Assign Button
To assign a product to boxes individually, click Assign next to the product.
![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/65a82eaaf22ea9bff538bce5/66ccd857668894d2859d7979_6663677c6ed26b84d0d0e182_Screenshot%25202024-06-07%2520at%25203.02.56%25E2%2580%25AFPM.png)
From here, you have the option to assign them manually or split them evenly between boxes.
Assign Manually
The number of units that need box assignments will be displayed along with a list of the boxes you created.

If you still need to create box(es), enter the number of the boxes you need and click Create new box(es).
