How to Print Packing Slips for Orders in Amazon Seller Central
A guide to printing packing slips in Amazon Seller Central, covering single and bulk printing options, reprinting, and the Multi-Channel Fulfillment limitation.
Overview
Packing slips are essential documents that accompany shipped orders, providing customers with a summary of what's inside the package. Amazon Seller Central offers a built-in tool that lets sellers generate and print packing slips directly from the Manage Orders page, either one at a time or in bulk. Understanding how to use this feature efficiently can streamline your fulfillment workflow and improve the customer experience.
Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know
- Built-in packing slip tool — Seller Central provides a native feature for generating packing slips directly from your orders dashboard, so no third-party software is required.
- Single or bulk printing — You can print a packing slip for one order at a time or select multiple orders and generate all their packing slips simultaneously.
- Reprinting is available anytime — If a packing slip is lost, damaged, or needed again for any reason, you can reprint it at any point from the order details.
- Not available for Multi-Channel Fulfillment — Packing slips cannot be generated through this tool for Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) orders, which are handled separately by Amazon's fulfillment network.
How to Print a Single Packing Slip
To print a packing slip for an individual order, navigate to the Manage Orders page in Seller Central and locate the order you need. Click the packing slip button associated with that order. A print dialog box will appear on your screen along with a preview of the packing slip. Review the details to confirm they are correct, then click OK in the print dialog to send it to your printer. Once printed, include the packing slip inside the shipping box with the ordered items before sealing the package.
How to Print Multiple Packing Slips at Once
When you have several orders to fulfill at the same time, printing packing slips individually can be time-consuming. Seller Central provides a bulk printing option to speed up the process. On the Manage Orders page, use the checkbox in the upper-left corner of the order list to select the orders you want. Then choose the "Print packing slip for selected orders" option from the drop-down menu and click Go. This will generate all selected packing slips in a single print job, allowing you to match each slip to its corresponding package during your packing process.
