What is a Shipping Packing List or Packing Slip?

A shipping packing list, also known as a packing slip, is a document that outlines the contents of a shipment. It’s typically included in the package and lists each product being shipped, along with its quantity and description. Unlike an invoice, a packing slip does not include pricing information.

Packing slips are essential for smooth shipping and delivery. They help your team double-check the contents before shipping and give customers a clear summary of what’s in their order. Whether you’re a small business or a growing warehouse, using packing slips reduces shipping errors and improves your fulfillment process.

Packing slips can be created manually using a template or automatically using bookkeeping software like Vencru.

Why It Matters:

  • Confirms the correct items are packed and shipped

  • Acts as a checklist for fulfillment teams

  • Helps customers review their order at delivery

  • Reduces support requests and returns due to missing items

Vencru simplifies this even more by offering a one-click packing slip generator that pulls product and shipping details directly from your invoice or receipt. There are no manual edits or formatting—just accurate, professional documents ready to print or email.
