How to use this tool
Create a clear packing slip
List of packed items in shipment. Start with a blank document or load the local sample, check the preview, then print or save a PDF. Download a JSON backup separately when you want to restore an editable draft.
Create a free packing slip in your browser for a single parcel or a multi-carton shipment. Record the packing slip, order, and PO references; ship-to address; order and ship dates; carrier and tracking details; package and carton counts; shipment weight; and the items packed. The live preview keeps the shipment record readable as you work.
A packing slip travels with the goods so warehouse staff and the recipient can check the parcel against the order. It is separate from the invoice and from the delivery note that may be acknowledged at handover. Keeping those records distinct makes shortages, split shipments, and follow-up easier to trace.

These general business templates are not professional or regulatory advice. Verify the requirements that apply to your situation. Office files do not restore a Formnivo draft; use the editor's JSON backup for that.
Need separate SKU, ordered, shipped and backordered columns? Use the Office files. The browser editor currently lists item descriptions and packed quantities.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Using this packing slip when it is not the right record. Use it when goods are packed for delivery and the recipient needs a contents list.
- Printing before matching the order and PO references, ship-to address, packed quantities, carrier, tracking details, package count, and shipment weight.
- Relying on browser storage as the only copy. Export a JSON backup before clearing site data or changing devices.
Official country-source notes
Requirements change by jurisdiction. Use the country selector in the editor, then verify applicable rules with the relevant authority before relying on this document.
Choose a country in the country registry to see only that jurisdiction's reviewed scope, official sources, and research limits. The full source register remains available for audits; unrelated country sources are intentionally not attached to this generator.
Is this packing slip generator free?
Yes. You can create, edit, print, and export packing slips without an account, watermark, or usage cap. The editor runs in your browser and the shipment details stay on your device unless you export and share them.
What should a packing slip include?
Include a unique packing slip number, the order or PO reference, sender and ship-to details, order and ship dates, carrier and tracking details, package or carton information, shipment weight when useful, and a clear list of the items and quantities packed.
What is the difference between a packing slip and an invoice?
A packing slip identifies what was placed in a shipment and travels with the goods. An invoice is a separate billing record. Keeping them separate lets the warehouse and recipient check the parcel without confusing fulfillment with billing.
What is the difference between a packing slip and a delivery note?
A packing slip is prepared while the goods are packed and lists the shipment contents. A delivery note records the handover stage and may identify who received the goods. Use the delivery note only when that later event occurs.
Can I record a shipment with several cartons?
Yes. Use the package count, carton number, total cartons, gross weight, carrier, and tracking fields to identify how the shipment is divided. Check those details against the physical parcel labels before printing.
How do I share or keep the packing slip?
Print it or export it as a PDF or image to place with the shipment or send to the recipient. Download the JSON backup as well when you need an editable copy that can be reopened in Formnivo later.
Does this packing slip replace carrier, border, or shipment paperwork?
No. It prepares a packing slip only. Carrier, border, and shipment-document requirements vary by route, goods, and destination, so check the relevant instructions and authorities before dispatch.
