How to Create Fedex Multiple Package Shipment Label using API Call in PHP

In our previous post explained how to create Fedex shipping label using PHP programming language. In this post we explain fedex multiple package shipment label process. By default Fedex allow maximum 150 pound weight limit for one box shipment. If your order exceed shipment weight limit, than Fedex divide package weight as limit wise.

Generate Fedex Multiple Package Shipment Label

In this case one Master Tracking label id is creating for first package, you need to send this master tracking id to child package for create label for each package. You can also check our previous Fedex shipping label code post for single package. Lets check the below PHP code to create Fedex multiple package labels.

<?php

$path_to_wsdl = "./ShipService_v19.wsdl";

As you see in above code, first master package label is created and pass master tracking id to child package api request. Using this way you can create Fedex Label for Multiple Package Shipments.
