What a packing slip is for

A packing slip travels inside the parcel and lists what should be in the box, so the recipient can check the delivery against their order. It names the ship-from and ship-to, carries the order number, and gives a line for each item and quantity. Its focus is fulfilment, not billing, which is why it centres on descriptions and counts rather than prices.

Receipt Caker fills in the addresses, the order number, and every item line, then lays the slip out ready to print and drop in the box. The warehouse uses it to pick and pack, the courier has a record of what is in transit, and the recipient uses it to confirm nothing is missing.

Packing slip versus invoice

A packing slip lists the contents of a shipment; an invoice states what is owed and asks for payment. The slip goes in the box for the warehouse and the recipient, while the invoice goes to whoever pays. Many sellers issue both, so shipping staff and the accounts contact each get the document they actually need.

Keeping prices off the slip is also useful when a parcel is a gift or is drop-shipped for another seller, since the recipient sees the contents without seeing what was paid. This generator produces a clean, price-free slip by default, and you can note values in the descriptions if you want them shown.

Anchoring deliveries and returns

Because the slip carries the order number and the exact items sent, it becomes the reference point for anything that goes wrong. A short delivery is spotted against it, a wrong item is flagged against it, and a return is identified by it, so both sides are talking about the same shipment.

Whether you post a few orders a week or run a busy store, a clear slip cuts errors and disputes. Everything is composed in your browser with no account, and you export a printable PNG or a Pro PDF to include with the shipment.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What is the difference between a packing slip and an invoice?
A packing slip lists the contents of a shipment so the recipient can verify what arrived; an invoice states what is owed and asks for payment. The packing slip deliberately focuses on items and quantities and usually leaves prices off, because it travels in the box and is about fulfilment, not billing. The invoice carries the prices, tax, and totals and is sent to whoever pays. Many sellers issue both: the packing slip goes inside the parcel for the warehouse and the recipient, and the invoice goes to the buyer's accounts. Keeping them separate means shipping staff and the customer each get the document they actually need.
Do packing slips show prices?
Most packing slips leave prices off and show only descriptions and quantities, because their job is to confirm the contents of the box, not to bill for them. Omitting prices is also handy when a parcel is a gift or is drop-shipped on behalf of another seller, since the recipient sees what is inside without seeing what was paid. Some businesses do include prices so the customer has everything in one document, which is a matter of preference. Because this generator is built around items and quantities, it produces a clean, price-free slip by default, and you can note values in the item descriptions if you want them shown.
Who uses a packing slip?
Packing slips are used across e-commerce, wholesale, and any business that ships physical goods. The warehouse or fulfilment team uses it to pick and pack the right items, the courier has a record of what is in transit, and the recipient checks the delivery against it and flags anything missing or wrong. It also anchors returns, because the slip and its order number identify exactly what was sent. Whether you post a handful of orders a week or run a busy store, a clear packing slip cuts errors and disputes. Receipt Caker structures the fields so the slip in the box matches the order every time.
