Anatomy of a packing slip

Everything that belongs on the page, and where it goes.

What a packing slip is for

A packing slip goes in the parcel and tells the customer what they should find inside. It helps the person packing the order check it against the list, and helps the person opening it spot anything missing.

It normally leaves out prices. That matters when an order is a gift or is shipped to someone other than the buyer. Showing ordered and shipped quantities side by side also explains a partial shipment without a support email.

Make every packing slip automatic

Questions, answered

The things people usually ask before they download.

What is the difference between a packing slip and an invoice?

An invoice asks for payment and shows prices. A packing slip lists what is in a shipment and usually has no prices at all.

What is the difference between a packing slip and a shipping label?

A shipping label goes on the outside of the parcel so the carrier can deliver it. A packing slip goes inside and is for the customer.

Should a packing slip show prices?

Usually not, and this template leaves them out. That keeps gift orders private and avoids confusion when a shipment only contains part of an order.

Is this packing slip generator really free?

Yes. You can create up to 10 PDFs a day without an account or a credit card.

Will there be a watermark on my PDF?

No. Your document stays clean, with one small “Made with PDFgen” line at the foot of each page.

Do you store what I enter?

No. Your details are sent to our server to create the PDF and are not saved. The form lives in your browser, so copy anything you want to keep before leaving the page.

Can I create packing slips automatically?

Yes. The API call further up this page produces the same packing slip from your own data, so your app or order system can create them without anyone filling in a form.
