Make a packing slip in 4 steps

  1. Fill in seller and buyer — the ship-from and ship-to blocks, plus the order number and date.
  2. Add every item in the box — one row per item with its quantity. Use the + button for extra rows.
  3. Add carrier and tracking — so the buyer can follow the parcel without emailing you.
  4. Download and print — one click, no signup. Slip the page inside the box before sealing.

Answer in brief: a packing slip travels inside the parcel and lists what is in the box; the invoice usually travels separately by email. For parcels sent outside the EU or UK, the matching customs declaration is form CN22 for lower-value goods or CN23 above that threshold — the packing slip lists the same contents for the person opening the box. (Sources: Universal Postal Union parcel rules; Royal Mail customs guidance, 2026.)

What a packing slip is — and what goes on it

A packing slip (also called a packing list or delivery note) is the piece of paper that travels inside the parcel. When the buyer opens the box, it answers three questions at a glance: who sent this, which order is it, and is everything here? That is its whole job — and it is why the slip lists items and quantities, never prices. Prices belong on the invoice, which the buyer gets by email.

The standard anatomy is simple: seller block, buyer block, order number and date, an items table, a total quantity, and the carrier plus tracking number. Anything else — a thank-you note, a returns address, a discount code for the next order — is optional garnish. This generator follows that anatomy exactly, so the slip it produces looks like the ones from any professional shop.

Worked example — the pre-filled slip above

ItemQty
Cotton T-shirt - Navy, size M2
Ceramic mug - 300 ml1
Tote bag - canvas3
Total items in the box6

The form above is pre-filled with exactly these numbers — press Generate to see the finished PDF. Count the items as you pack: the total at the bottom of the slip should match the count in the box before you seal it. That one check catches most packing mistakes.

Small sellers on Etsy, eBay and Shopify use this pattern every day: the slip goes in the box, the invoice goes by email, and the tracking number goes on both. If you sell on a marketplace, copy the order number exactly as the marketplace shows it — that is the number the buyer will quote if anything is missing. For a matching invoice, see our free invoice generator, and for proof of delivery paperwork, the delivery note maker.

Straight talk: limits

📝 Not an invoice

A packing slip proves what was shipped, not what was charged. It has no prices, no tax lines and no payment terms. If the buyer needs a tax document, generate an invoice as well — the two documents do different jobs.

🛃 Not a customs form

For international parcels you still need the carrier's customs declaration (CN22/CN23) on the outside of the box. This slip goes inside and does not replace it.

💾 Save your PDFs

The form lives only in this tab — it clears on refresh. Download each slip before you leave, and keep a copy with your order records.

Packing Slip Maker FAQ

Is this packing slip maker really free?

Yes — unlimited packing slips, every field, PDF download, forever. No trial, no watermark, no account, no payment details. The PDF is assembled in your browser, so there is nothing to meter.

Does the packing slip include prices?

No, by design. A packing slip lists items and quantities only — prices belong on the invoice, which the buyer receives separately. If you need prices on a document, use the invoice generator instead.

Can I add my shop logo to the slip?

Not in this version — the slip carries your business name as typed text. For a branded header, type your shop name exactly as it appears on your storefront; logo upload is planned as a future update.

Does it work for Etsy, eBay and Shopify sellers?

Yes. It is a plain document generator: copy the order number exactly as your marketplace shows it, fill in the buyer address from the order, and the slip matches the parcel. It works for any shop, marketplace or direct sale.

What paper size does the PDF use?

A4, which prints cleanly on A4 and US Letter printers. Fold it once and it fits a standard parcel or a C5 envelope taped inside the box lid.

Is my customer data uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF is assembled on your own device with a JavaScript library — buyer names, addresses and order numbers are never sent to any server. Close the tab and the data is gone.

Can I save a slip and edit it later?

No — the form lives only in this tab and clears on refresh, because nothing is stored. Download each slip as a PDF before leaving, and re-open the tool for the next order; the pre-filled example gives you a fast starting point.
