Single Package Handling

The package number and the total number of packages are usually printed on the package label, e.g. 1 OF 2 for the first package, 2 OF 2 for the second package. Exception is the UPS service "Standard Package". With this service, 1 OF 1 is always printed on each package label, regardless of how many packages there are in total.
If single package handling is activated, 1 OF _, 2 OF _, etc. will be printed on the label for all services except "UPS Standard Package".
