The importance of a simple piece of paper may be easily overlooked in this digital age of online buying, e-receipts, and cloud-stored transaction histories. For e-commerce companies, packing slips are essential to a seamless and effective order fulfilment process.

Although the word “packing slip” is not unfamiliar in the eCommerce industry, it is also not well understood. Customers and eCommerce retailers may confuse it for a shipping label. Therefore, we break down every component of a packing slip and its worth in this post using our in-depth packing slip guide.

Packing Slip -A Record Of Shipment Information

According to the logistics lexicon, a packing slip is a record that lists every product packed into a box.

The weight, measurements, and quantity of SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) in the package are usually listed on a packing slip. But if a company so chooses, they may be dynamic and offer a ton of room for customization. Some use this as an opportunity to add social network links, a coupon code, a Call to Action (CTA), and their company logos. Packing slips have become a great branding tool in this way.

Packaging slips are typically loaded with details to expedite the steps involved in packaging and delivering an order. Printing at the fulfilment centre or warehouse enables the packing crew to ensure the right order is packed. As an alternative, it assists the customer in verifying that the package contains every item they purchased.

 Details Of Shipping

The most crucial information on a check slip (เช็คสลิป, which is the term in Thai) is the shipping data. The brand details, which include the name, address, website, and contact data, are shown first.

Next is the order number, often known as the purchase order ID. This is a string of distinct integers that is used to identify a particular order. The order date and the order placement time are included in the third element.

Order Products And Out-Of-Stock Items

An itemized list of the SKUs ordered is included in the third and crucial part. The listing contains two different versions. While some brands only give the SKU or UPC (Universal Product Number), others include the names of the products.

Conclusion

The verify transfer slip (ตรวจสอบสลิปโอนเงิน, which is the term in Thai) contains details about the items that were out of stock and could not be delivered, as well as the ones that are being delivered. This crucial information aids clients in tracking the items they have ordered. If necessary, they can contact the brand with a question regarding the out-of-stock merchandise.

The price and quantity of each SKU item are listed on a packing slip alongside the product name. Thus, the price and quantity are indicated next to each product name or SKU number.
