German term or phrase: Paketschein

Occurs in a web page on how to track a parcel you are expecting ("Paketscheinnummer eingeben"). An example of a Paketschein can be seen at http://www.dpd.net/index.php?id=41.

Can anyone help with the correct English term?

Many thanks

(parcel, packet, package) counterfoil

Explanation:
would be the most frequently used term in the UK, I'm sure; I'm not so sure about the rest of the ESW...
It's usually either a slip torn off the main label, or a carbon or pressure copy if it.

Thanks also to Jonathan for pointing out the button I should have pushed! However, the DPD site makes it clear that the Schein is a counterfoil not the label itself
