How to Create USPS SCAN Forms

Learn how to create a SCAN Form for your USPS Shipments.

Written by Holland Rocha

A SCAN Form (Shipment Confirmation Acceptance Notice) is a document with a master barcode that covers all packages being shipped in a single USPS pickup or drop-off. Instead of scanning each package individually, USPS scans this one barcode, saving time for both you and your carrier.

SCAN Forms are only available for USPS shipments created in Sellbrite. Learn how to create USPS shipments for orders in Sellbrite here.

Create a SCAN Form

Before creating a SCAN Form, keep the following in mind:

  • SCAN Forms are date-specific. You cannot create a SCAN Form for a past Ship Date unless a SCAN Form was created the previous day and printed mid-day. If you have leftover orders from the previous day, you'll need to create a separate SCAN Form for those.

  • SCAN Forms cannot be created on federal holidays recognized by USPS.

To create a SCAN Form:

  1. Go to Orders > Shipments.

  2. Select Create SCAN Form.

  3. Choose the warehouse where your shipments are located. SCAN Forms are warehouse-specific.

A window will appear showing all eligible USPS shipments for the selected day. By default, all eligible shipments will be selected.

  1. Confirm your shipments and ship date, then select Confirm.

  2. Print or download your SCAN Form.

SCAN form history

You can view your past and upcoming SCAN Forms from the Shipments page. From the Shipments page, select SCAN Form History to see previously created SCAN Forms, as well as any SCAN Forms already scheduled for the upcoming week.
