You will start with Group 1 and Box 1.

Depending on what you’re planning to ship, Amazon may break your batch up into different “pack groups.” For example, if you have some hazmat items, Amazon might create one group for hazmat and one for everything else. Each box can only contain items from a single pack group.

In InventoryLab, pack groups will appear as different Group # tabs.
Add a new box by clicking + New Box, and add as many boxes as you need.
On the left, click the box you're currently working on, which will highlight it:
Enter the quantity to assign to the highlighted box. Click Add to Box #.

Repeat assigning steps by clicking a box name to highlight it, and then assigning your units into each box.

- If you want to provide box weight & dimensions as you box, check out our guide to entering weight and dimensions while boxing.
After assigning all items, click Next: Ship it in the bottom-right corner.
Fill in box weight and dimensions, then click Save and Continue.
Once you've provided all your box dimensions, you'll be asked if you want to put your boxes on pallets. The LTL (Less Than Truckload) flow does not yet work on the beta, so click Skip for now.
