If you require certification for label printing, with the package you received from the WIS Support team containing your production information you should have also received a cover letter to include when you send your sample label for certification. To produce the sample labels use the FedEx Certification wizard in Tradepoint to generate the required labels for the services you intend to use. There should be 3 sets of labels per service type selected in the certification wizard generated. All of these sample labels will need to be mailed to the address indicated on the Label Submission cover letter. The WIS Support Team will evaluate your sample labels and respond with an indication of approval.
