When you print packing slips to include in your shipments, Shipmondo provides a fixed default template for the document design.

However, you also have the option to design your own packing slip using our Document Designer.

Log in to your Shipmondo account and go to Settings > Document Designer.

Click Packing slip, and the designer will open.

In the designer, you will see Shipmondo’s standard template code, which you can now modify. You can either design your own layout from scratch or use one of the other packing slip design templates that we have created.

You can find these by clicking the three dots in the top-right corner. When you click Import document design, four different design templates will appear; Standard, Boxed, Extended, and Image.

Below, the Image design template is shown as an example.

While working, you can continuously generate a preview to see whether your changes have been applied and displayed correctly. The preview is shown as a PDF file.

When you are satisfied, click Save, and your new template will now be used as the default for your packing slips.

You can design your packing slip exactly the way you want. However, you can also make small adjustments to the original design. Below are a few examples of what can be changed and how to do it.

The examples are based on the Image design template.

Example 1: You can, for example, add the customer’s email address by inserting it above the phone number within <section class="order-details">.

Example 2: You can also change the order in which the columns are displayed. For instance, you can move the price column to appear after the quantity column.

Example 3: To make returns easier, you can add a QR code that customers can use to return their order.

In the example below, the note “Thank you …” is added as static text. However, you can create a translation key (see the next section) so that the text follows the document language (the recipient’s language).

It is also possible to control the language of the packing slip using our translation tool.

Here, you can enable multiple languages if you operate in multiple markets, and you can both create and translate specific translation keys using the translation tool.

Examples of translation keys for your packing slip could be product_image, price, and customer.
