How to Write a Package Address So It Reaches Its Destination Quickly!

Knowing how to write a package address is one of the most important things to keep in mind when sending a package through a shipping service. If the address is incorrect, the package may not reach its destination. If this is your first time sending a package, you’ll naturally want to know how to write a package address correctly.

It’s really not that hard. It’s not much different from writing an address on a letter. Check out the full explanation below for more details.

How to Write a Package Address

Generally, the correct format for a package address consists of three main parts: the sender’s/recipient’s name, the full address, and a contact phone number.

This applies to both the sender and the recipient. Below is an explanation of each part.

1. Full Name

The first part you must write on the package address is the full name.

For the recipient, you can write the person’s full name or add a commonly used nickname, if applicable.

As for the sender, you can write your full name or the name of your store if you sell online.

2. Full Address

For the address, write it out in full so the courier can find it more easily.

This applies specifically to the recipient’s address.
The parts you need to include in the package address are as follows:

• Street name (if applicable)
• House number (if applicable)
• Neighborhood name (if applicable)
• RT and RW
• Village/District/Subdistrict Name
• Subdistrict name
• City/Regency Name
• Province Name
• ZIP Code

3. Phone Number

The last piece of information you must include when writing a package address is a contact phone number or cell phone number.

This is important so that the courier can contact the recipient if they have trouble finding the listed home address.

If necessary, include a cell phone number that is also used for WhatsApp so the recipient can share their location with the courier to make it easier to find the address.

To better understand the format for writing a package address, you can see the examples of recipient and sender addresses below.

How to Address a Package So It Reaches Its Destination Quickly

1. First, write the recipient’s full name.
2. Next, write the recipient’s full address, starting with the street, house number, village, subdistrict, regency/city, and region.
3. After making sure the address is correct, write the ZIP code for that address.
4. Next, write the recipient’s phone number or cell phone number.
5. After writing the recipient’s address, also write the full name or the name of the store sending the package.
6. Also note the sender’s full address, whether it’s a home address or a store address.
7. Finally, write down the sender’s phone number.
8. To send documents, write the recipient’s address on the left and the sender’s address on the right.
9. If you’re sending documents, you can write the package address directly on the envelope. However, if you’re sending goods, you can write the address on a piece of paper first and then attach it with tape.

How to Print a Package Address on a Marketplace

If you’re a seller or online store owner, it can be quite a hassle to have to enter package addresses manually.

Fortunately, you can now print package addresses directly if you sell through marketplaces like Tokopedia, Shopee, and others. The process is quite simple.

1. After confirming an incoming order, you just need to find the menu option to print the address label (Print Label) or tracking number (Print Receipt) on each marketplace platform.
2. Just click the menu, then print and attach it to the bag you’ve prepared.
3. The address will be automatically generated based on the address the buyer entered in their marketplace profile, along with a barcode.
4. This way, you don’t have to write the package address manually, and you can also minimize the risk of writing errors.

That’s the correct way to write a package address according to shipping standards in Indonesia. You can use the guide above to send packages via JNE, J&T, SiCepat, the Post Office, Anteraja, and others.

The key is to write the address completely and correctly, and to include contact information for both the recipient and the sender. This makes it easier for the courier to deliver the package, ensuring it arrives at its destination faster.
