What is a packing slip?
A packing slip lists the contents of a shipment so the person opening the box can check what arrived against what was ordered. It shows quantities but usually omits prices, which is why it travels with the goods while the invoice goes to the buyer.
How this works in your browser
Uses the shared document engine with the price and total blocks switched off, leaving description and quantity columns only. Suppressing pricing is a configuration of the same engine rather than a stripped-down copy, so the packing slip still inherits logo upload, theming, templates and local draft storage. Output goes through the browser print pipeline, which is what you want for a document that will be printed far more often than it is saved.

Frequently asked questions
Why does a packing slip have no prices?
Because it travels with the goods and is often seen by people who should not see the pricing: the recipient's warehouse staff, a gift recipient, or a third-party fulfilment partner. Its job is to confirm contents, not value. Prices belong on the invoice, which goes to accounts payable.
What is the difference between a packing slip and a delivery note?
In practice very little, and the terms are used interchangeably in most of the world. Where a distinction is drawn, the packing slip lists box contents and the delivery note is signed by the recipient as proof of delivery. Both are enclosed with the shipment.
Should I list items that are out of stock?
Yes, marked as backordered rather than silently omitted. A recipient checking the box against the slip needs to know whether something is missing because it was never sent or because it was lost in transit, and that distinction saves a support conversation.
Does it need to match the invoice exactly?
It should match what is physically in the box, which is not always the same as the invoice if an order ships in parts. Include the order number on both so the two can be reconciled, and note which shipment of how many this is.
Is any of this uploaded?
No. The slip is generated in your browser.
