A user has created a metafield for product variants to display style numbers on packing slips but is unsure how to implement the code in the packing slip template.
Current Challenge:
The user has successfully added the variant metafield
They don’t know what code to use or where to insert it in the ‘edit packing slip template’ section
An image was shared showing their current setup
Proposed Solution:
A respondent suggests that manually coding variant metafields into packing slips requires technical knowledge and can be complex
They recommend using a third-party app as a time-saving alternative
The suggested app can display:
Product metafields
Product variant metafields
Order metafields
Status: The issue remains unresolved with no code solution provided yet. The discussion presents two paths: learning the technical implementation or adopting an app-based solution.

I have added a new metafield to product variants in the hope that I can add that to my packing slip so that the style# will print for each variant on the packing slip.
Adding variant metafield data to your packing slip requires code editing, which might be complicated and require technical knowledge. You can consider using a third-party app for time-saving and efficiency. For example, using our app, you can easily show product metafields as shown in the picture below. Additionally, order metafields and product variant metafields can also be displayed with our app.
