# Packages

> Create box templates to quickly select when creating shipments.

## What they're for

Packages are pre-defined templates for boxes or envelopes. When creating a shipment (individual or bulk), you can select a package instead of entering dimensions manually each time.

## Where to configure

In Shopify Admin, open the FEMA app and click **Packages** in the sidebar.

## Package types

| Type | Description |
| - | - |
| **Caixa** | Standard cardboard box |
| **LTR** | Envelope |
| **PLT** | Pallet |
| **Rolo** | Cylindrical packaging |
| **Saco** | Plastic or fabric bag |

## Adding a package

1. Click **Add**.
2. Enter a **name** (e.g. "Small box").
3. Select the **package type**.
4. Enter dimensions in centimetres: **length**, **height**, **width**.
5. Click **Save**.

## Editing or removing

* Click **Edit** on a package to change its properties.
* Click the trash icon to remove it.

<Warning>
  Removing a package does not affect already-created shipments. It only stops being available for new ones.
</Warning>

## No packages configured

If you don't configure any packages, shipments are created with FEMA's default dimensions:

| Field | Default value |
| - | - |
| Type | Caixa (Box) |
| Length | 20 cm |
| Height | 10 cm |
| Width | 2 cm |

To customise dimensions per shipment, use the block on the individual order page.
