Order note packing slip

Show Shopify order notes on a packing slip

Generate Order Printer Liquid for printing checkout notes, delivery instructions, gift messages, and order-level notes on Shopify packing slips.

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.

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

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

Step Paste order-level note output outside the line item loop, usually near shipping details or the footer.
Step Use line item properties only when the note belongs to a specific product.
Step Preview an order with a note, an order without a note, and a multi-line order.
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.
