Gift note packing slip

Show Shopify gift notes on a packing slip

Generate Order Printer Liquid for gift messages, gift wrap labels, personalization notes, and item-level gift properties on packing slips.

Quick answer

Show Shopify gift notes on a packing slip for Shopify Order Printer

Generate a gift-note friendly line item properties loop, keep private properties hidden, and include the order note once when needed. Start in a duplicate Shopify Order Printer template, paste the Liquid in the right placement area, and preview with real orders before saving.

Open a real gift order and check whether the message appears under the item properties, order note, or note attributes.
If the message is item-specific, paste the generated line item properties block under each product title.
If the message is order-level, print the order note once near the packing slip notes or footer.

Use case

When to use this tool

Best for merchants whose gift messages or gift wrap choices need to print clearly for the packing team without showing hidden app metadata.

Handles gift messages saved as line item properties, such as Gift message, Gift note, or Gift wrap.

Includes order note output for stores that collect the gift message at checkout instead of per product.

Filters underscore-prefixed app fields so internal gift app metadata stays off the printed slip.

Keeps item-specific gift notes near the correct product row.

Calls out long handwritten-style messages as a layout risk on compact slips and 4x6 prints.

Free tool fit

Use the snippet when the edit is narrow.

Generate a gift-note friendly line item properties loop, keep private properties hidden, and include the order note once when needed.

You know which Shopify Order Printer template you want to edit.
You can test in a duplicate template before touching the live one.
The field or layout change maps to the Liquid objects listed on this page.

Manual fix fit

Request help when placement is risky.

Send your packing slip and a sample order so gift notes can be placed without repeating, leaking private fields, or breaking the layout.

Your current template already has custom loops, tables, CSS, or app-specific fields.
The snippet works in isolation but prints blank, repeats, or breaks layout in your real template.
The document is customer-facing, B2B, VAT, customs, or warehouse-critical and needs careful test notes.

Install steps

Copy into Shopify Order Printer carefully.

The preview uses sample data. Always test the template with real orders before using it for fulfillment, accounting, customs, or customer-facing documents.

Step Open a real gift order and check whether the message appears under the item properties, order note, or note attributes.
Step If the message is item-specific, paste the generated line item properties block under each product title.
Step If the message is order-level, print the order note once near the packing slip notes or footer.
Step Keep underscore-prefixed app properties hidden unless the warehouse needs them.
Step Preview a gift order, a normal order, and an order with a very long message before saving.

FAQ

Common Shopify Order Printer issues

Is a Shopify gift note a line item property or an order note?

It depends on how the store collects it. Product-page gift messages often become line item properties, while cart or checkout notes often become order notes or note attributes.

Should the gift note print once or under each item?

Print it under each item only when the message belongs to that product. Print order-level gift notes once near the packing slip note section.

How do I hide gift app metadata?

Keep the private-property filter on. It hides property names that start with an underscore, which many apps use for internal IDs.

Can I use this on a 4x6 packing slip?

Yes, but test long gift messages. Compact thermal slips often need shorter labels, wrapping rules, or a manual layout adjustment.

Watch these before saving

The gift message is stored as an order note, but the template only checks line item properties.
The same order-level gift note repeats under every product row.
Private app fields such as _gift_wrap_id print on the customer-facing packing slip.
Long gift messages overflow a 4x6 packing slip or push items onto a second page.

Limits

What this does not replace

Gift apps do not all store messages in the same Shopify field.
The generator cannot know the exact property label used by a third-party gift app.
Handwritten card workflows, gift receipts, or multi-recipient shipments may need manual template logic.
Very long messages may need custom CSS, truncation, or a separate gift note section.
