A Note on Intelligent Package Grouping:

By default, FieldStack intelligently groups orders that have been placed by the same customer, using the same shipping address, and being sent through the same mail class into a single package when possible.  

FieldStack will also prevent you from grouping items into the wrong packages, so there’s no need to worry about accidentally moving an item to the wrong package.
