Quick answer

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

Use the line item properties generator with order note output enabled, then place the order-level note outside the item loop. Start in a duplicate Shopify Order Printer template, paste the Liquid in the right placement area, and preview with real orders before saving.

  1. Confirm whether the message appears as the order note, a note attribute, or a line item property on a real order.
  2. Paste order-level note output outside the line item loop, usually near shipping details or the footer.
  3. Use line item properties only when the note belongs to a specific product.

Copy-ready example

Starter Liquid pattern

Use this as a visible pattern, then use the generator below to adjust the exact field, fallback text, layout, and test notes. 

{% for line_item in line_items %}
  {% for property in line_item.properties %}
    {% assign property_name = property.first %}
    {% assign property_value = property.last %}
    {% assign first_character = property_name | slice: 0 %}
    {% if property_value != blank and first_character != "_" %}
      <p><strong>{{ property_name }}:</strong> {{ property_value }}</p>
    {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

Free first, fix when needed

Use the generator for the first safe test.

Use the line item properties generator with order note output enabled, then place the order-level note outside the item loop. If the snippet works alone but your real Shopify Order Printer template has custom loops, tables, print CSS, app fields, or compliance-sensitive wording, send the current template for a scoped fix.

Standard order with one clear product row.
Need personalization fields placed cleanly?

Line item properties belong under the matching product row, while order notes should print once outside the loop.

Test checklist

  • Duplicate the Shopify Order Printer template before editing the live one.
  • Preview with the regular order.
  • Preview an order with personalization, bundle details, or gift options.
  • Print or save one test preview before using the template in production.

Common failure

  • Putting an order note inside the item loop, which repeats the same message under every item.
  • Looking at order.note when the app stores data in note_attributes.
  • Using line item property code for a checkout note collected at the cart level.

Use case

When to use this tool

Best for merchants who need checkout notes, delivery instructions, gift messages, or packing instructions printed once on a packing slip.

Separates order-level notes from item-level properties so notes do not repeat for every product.

Covers checkout notes, delivery instructions, gift messages, and packing instructions.

Explains when note attributes may be a better source than the plain order note.

Keeps warehouse-facing notes near shipping or packing sections instead of invoice totals.

Pairs naturally with packing slip, gift note, and line item property pages.

Free tool fit

Use the snippet when the edit is narrow.

Use the line item properties generator with order note output enabled, then place the order-level note outside the item loop.

  • 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 current packing slip when order notes need conditional placement, hidden-price gift slips, or app-specific note attributes.

  • 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.

  1. Step Confirm whether the message appears as the order note, a note attribute, or a line item property on a real order.
  2. Step Paste order-level note output outside the line item loop, usually near shipping details or the footer.
  3. Step Use line item properties only when the note belongs to a specific product.
  4. Step Preview an order with a note, an order without a note, and a multi-line order.
  5. Step For gift slips, confirm prices stay hidden and the message does not repeat.

FAQ

Common Shopify Order Printer issues

What Liquid object prints the Shopify order note?

The plain checkout note is usually available as note. App-created fields may be available in note_attributes instead.

Where should I paste an order note block?

Paste it outside the line item loop near shipping details, packing instructions, or the packing slip footer so it prints once.

Why does my note repeat under every product?

The note block was pasted inside the product loop. Move order-level notes outside the loop and keep only item-specific properties under each product.

Can order notes include gift messages?

Yes. Many stores use checkout notes for gift messages, but product-page gift messages may instead be line item properties.
