What a packing slip is (and isn't)
A packing slip travels inside or on the box and lists what the shipment contains. It usually has no prices — that is what separates it from an invoice — because it is read by whoever unpacks the box, who needs to check the contents, not the cost. Warehouses use it to confirm picking; customers use it to spot missing items; and buyers match it against their purchase order.
What this template includes
- Order number, order date, ship date and tracking number.
- Ship from and Ship to blocks.
- 14 item rows, each with item or SKU, description, quantity ordered and quantity shipped. Having both columns is the useful part: a partial shipment is obvious at a glance.
- Number of packages, total weight, and who packed it.
- A notes box for backorders and return instructions.
Backorders and split shipments
When you can't ship everything, enter what you did ship in "Qty shipped", and use the notes box to say when the rest is expected. The customer then knows the missing items are coming rather than lost, which saves support emails.
