How to add Barcode to Packing Slips?

Visit Settings => Packing Slip to view the "Preview"(uses dummy data) of your Packing Slip.

For accounts created after May 1, 2025, ShipBlink automatically adds a Barcode by default. 
If you have a ShipBlink account prior to that date, adding a Barcode is super easy. Just add the following tag just after the Footer section (or ask Support): 

<div style="text-align: center; margin: 20px 0;">
<p align="center">
{% barcode data.order_number, size='small', barcodetype='Code128C', height=4 %}
</p>
</div>
<!-- END Order Footer -->

 

Tip: Want to customize the value that is getting Barcoded? Replace the `data.order_number` with another field listed in the "Available Data Fields".

Combine Packing Slip with Labels in Batches (link)

ShipBlink can help you combine Shipment Labels and Packing Slip on alternate pages and generate a single document for your printer. This will help you generate a doc for a Batch with n shipments like Label-A, PackingSlip-A, Label-B, PackingSlip-B,...etc.

To enable this configuration, please enable the below configuration in ShipBlink Slip Configuration.

Packing Slip Page Size

By default, packing slips are generated at 4" x 6" (matching thermal label printers). The page size is determined by your default Label Configuration in Settings => Label Configuration.
If you need full control over the page size directly in your template, you can add an @page CSS rule to your Packing Slip HTML. When ShipBlink detects an @page rule in your template, it will use your sizing instead of the Label Configuration default.
For example, to set a letter-size packing slip:
 

<style>
 @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.5cm; }
</style>
  You can also use conditional logic to set different sizes per store:
  {% if data.order_store_domain == "store-a.myshopify.com" %}
  <style>
   @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.5cm; }
  </style>
{% else %}
  <style>
   @page { size: 4in 6in; margin: 0.2cm; }
  </style>
{% endif %}
