Four steps

How to print a packing slip

  1. 1

    Pick the form

    Packing slip, order form, stock count, checklist or returns.

    Put your shop name on it

    The heading is editable and prints on every page.

  3. 3

    Set the row height

    6 mm to fit more rows, 14 mm if it will be filled in by hand.

  4. 4

    Turn off the site mark

    Worth doing for anything a customer will see.

Paperwork for a shop that fits on a table

These are written for someone packing their own orders at home, not for a warehouse. Every one of them is a piece of paper that goes into a parcel or sits next to the scales, so they are short, they leave room to write by hand, and they ask for the things that actually stop an order going out.

The two most common of those are on the order form for that reason: the delivery address and a contact number. Both are easy to forget to ask for at a market stall, and either one missing means the parcel sits in a corner until someone chases it.

What each sheet is for

Long tables now continue rather than overflow

A twenty row stock count at the largest row height is taller than a sheet of A4. Rather than printing the rows that fit and losing the rest off the bottom of the page, the table breaks and continues on the next page with its column headings repeated. That applies to every form here and to the other form generators on the site, since they share the same renderer.

Frequently asked questions

Because it travels inside the parcel. A packing slip is often the first thing read by whoever unwraps a present, and they are the one person who should not see what it cost. Prices belong on the invoice or the order form, which go to the person who paid. If you do need priced paperwork in the box, print the order form instead.

Ordered and packed. A slip with one quantity column records what should have gone in the box, which nobody needs to be told; two columns record what actually did. That difference is the entire reason to print a packing slip, and it is what catches a short shipment while the parcel is still open on the table.

Packing ten orders at once, which is when mistakes happen because every parcel is at a different stage. One row per order and six boxes across: picked, packed, weighed, labelled, postage paid, posted. A glance down the sheet shows what is still outstanding without opening anything.

Because a sheet with one number column is a list rather than a count. Expected and counted side by side give you a difference, and the difference is the only part anyone acts on. Filling in what you think you have before you start also stops you counting to the number you expected.

Yes, the heading is editable, so put your shop name there and it prints across the top of every page. The small site mark at the foot can be turned off as well, which is worth doing for anything a customer will see.

They are templates, not legal or tax advice. What a receipt or a returns notice has to say differs by country and by how the sale was made, and the returns form in particular carries a note to that effect. Check what applies where you trade before relying on any of them.
