Looking to print packing slips on receipt printer.

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

The original poster seeks a solution for printing packing slips on thermal receipt printers using small-format paper (similar to Amazon’s approach), rather than standard 8.5x11 paper or adhesive labels.

Key developments:

  • Initial inquiries received no immediate solutions, with multiple users expressing the same need for 80mm thermal printing options.
  • One user suggested a 4x6 inch label format solution from another thread, but this didn’t meet the requirement (labels were specifically unwanted).

Resolution:

  • A user successfully tested an 80mm POS thermal printer and shared a video demonstration confirming it works for this purpose.
  • The original poster plans to purchase and test a similar printer based on this confirmation.

The discussion appears resolved with a working solution identified, though implementation details beyond the video demonstration remain limited.

Anyone out there printing packing slips with a thermal receipt printer? Wondering if it can be done as we curranty use 8.5x11 paper and that needs to change. We do not want to print on labels as that is also a waste. I have searched on how Amazon prints their packing slips and nothing comes up. This is kind of what we want to do, just print a packing slip on a small piece of paper using a thermal receipt printer.

In case you are still looking, I found this on a previous thread: https://community.shopify.com/c/payments-shipping-and/customize-your-packing-slip-template-to-use-4x6-inch-format/m-p/1521290

I believe it should answer your question.

I can do that but I’m not looking to print on labels. I want to print on small form factor paper like the packing slips Amazon uses.

I just bought a POS thermal printer that prints 80mm - I will report back let you know if this works if you haven’t figured it out yet.
