How packing slips are generated

Enter order details, addresses, SKUs, quantities, and box notes to create a shipment insert.

1

Enter the order and addresses

Provide the order number and the ship-from and ship-to addresses for the shipment.

2

List the items and quantities

Add each product with its description and quantity — no prices needed on a packing slip.

3

The tool builds the slip

Contents are laid out in a clean item table, with optional SKUs, box counts, and backorder notes.

4

Print and include with the box

Get a print-ready PDF to drop in the package so the recipient can verify the contents.

Who needs packing slips

Useful for e-commerce sellers, warehouses, makers, and teams shipping physical goods.

E-commerce sellers

Include a professional packing slip with every order without a full fulfillment platform.

Small warehouses and makers

Give your team and customers a clear checklist of what's in each box.

Anyone shipping goods

Send a gift or a wholesale order with a contents list that leaves prices off.

Tips for clear packing slips

Order number, SKUs, quantities, backorders, and box count help recipients verify contents.

01

Leave prices off by default

A packing slip lists contents, not costs — that's what separates it from an invoice.

02

Include the order number

Tie the slip to the order so the recipient and your records line up.

03

Add SKUs for warehouse picking

If your team picks by SKU, include them alongside descriptions for faster fulfillment.

04

Mark backordered items

Flag anything shipping separately as 'to follow' so the recipient isn't confused.

05

Note the box count for multi-box orders

Show 'Box 1 of 2' so the recipient knows to expect more than one package.

06

Add return instructions if useful

A short returns note at the bottom saves customers a support message later.

What to expect from a packing slip

Review output quality, follow-up checks, and download expectations for a packing slip.

For an order number, addresses, and an item list, the tool returns a clean packing slip PDF in under a minute. Standard single-shipment slips with a clear item list are the most reliable. Large multi-box orders or partial shipments work too, but confirm the item breakdown and box counts before printing. Best input: order number, ship-from and ship-to addresses, SKUs, item descriptions, quantities, box count, and backorder or return notes.

Example: Input: order number, ship-to address, three SKUs, quantities, and a note that one item is backordered. Output: a packing slip without prices, listing contents and quantities clearly for the recipient. Good for ecommerce packages, warehouse picking, and wholesale shipments.

Packing slip notes

Review this section when source details involve: Order number, SKUs, quantities, backorders, and box count help recipients verify contents.

  • It generates a document only — it doesn't connect to your store, inventory, or shipping carrier.
  • For large multi-box shipments, verify box counts and which items go in which box, since the tool lays out what you describe.
  • Order numbering isn't tracked between sessions; pull numbers from your order system to keep them accurate.

Frequently asked questions

What is a packing slip?

A packing slip is a document included inside or attached to a shipment that lists its contents — the items and quantities being sent. Unlike an invoice, it usually doesn't show prices; its job is to let the recipient verify what's in the box.

How is a packing slip different from an invoice?

A packing slip lists what was shipped (items and quantities, no payment info) and travels with the goods. An invoice requests payment and includes prices and totals. Many orders use both — a packing slip in the box and an invoice for billing.

What should I include on a packing slip?

Typically the order number, ship-from and ship-to addresses, the date, and an itemized list with descriptions and quantities. SKUs, a box count, and return instructions are common optional additions.

Can I mark items that are backordered or shipping separately?

Yes — note which items are included in this shipment and which are 'to follow' or backordered, and the slip reflects that so the recipient knows what to expect.

Should a packing slip show prices?

Usually not — that's the main reason it's separate from an invoice, since the recipient (or a gift recipient) often shouldn't see pricing. If you do want prices shown, you can ask for them, but the default omits them.

Can I include my store branding?

You can add your business name, address, and a short note in the text. For a logo, leave a placeholder or add it afterward — the tool focuses on the slip's structure and contents.

What format do I get?

A clean, print-ready PDF sized for including with a shipment. Keep your details if you fulfill orders regularly so you can regenerate for each new order quickly.
