Packing Slips in Shippo

Packing Slips in Shippo can be very useful for you and your customers. They can help fulfill orders while you and your team are packing them, communicate important information (like return policies), and add that personal touch, such as a "Thank you" note for your customers.

By default, Packing Slips feature the sender and recipient's Names and Addresses and information about the order (item name, count, weight, etc.). In Shippo, we have many customization options, like adding notes, store policies, and hiding pricing, to ensure you can communicate (or remove) important information when needed!

Packing Slips in Shippo can be printed in PDF, PNG, or ZPL formats to best suit your printing needs. They are available for any order fulfilled in Shippo and can be sent along with your packages.
