About Packing List Generator

Packing List Generator creates a printable export packing list from your shipper, consignee, shipment reference, and package-line details. Add item descriptions, quantities, package counts, gross weight, and dimensions, then review calculated shipment totals.

A packing list supports cargo handling and export documentation but should be reconciled with the commercial invoice, booking, and actual packed freight. Confirm every field and destination-specific requirement with your broker or forwarder.

Features

  • Multi-line packages: Add or remove cargo/package entries.
  • Automatic totals: Sum quantities, packages, and gross weight.
  • Shipment parties and reference: Record shipper, consignee, and invoice or PO reference.
  • Print-ready layout: Produce a clear packing-list summary for review.
  • Private local form: No signup or data upload.

How to Use

  1. Enter shipper, consignee, and shipment reference.
  2. Add each packed line with description, package quantity, gross weight, and dimensions.
  3. Confirm totals against the physical shipment.
  4. Print the draft and reconcile it with invoice and B/L instructions.

Examples

Example: An exporter lists 4 pallets of fittings, 12 cartons of accessories, their gross weights, and outer dimensions so the consignee can verify the shipment on arrival.

Benefits

  • Improve accuracy: Keep package data structured and easy to review.
  • Support customs and handling: Provide physical cargo details alongside commercial documents.
  • Save time: Generate a clean draft rather than formatting a list from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a packing list?
A packing list describes the packages in a shipment, including contents, quantities, weights, and dimensions. It helps carriers, customs brokers, warehouses, and consignees identify and verify cargo.
Is a packing list the same as a commercial invoice?
No. A commercial invoice focuses on value and sale terms; a packing list focuses on physical contents and packing details. Many shipments need both.
Should gross and net weight be included?
Usually. Net weight refers to goods; gross weight includes packaging and pallets. Confirm required units and reporting rules with your carrier and customs broker.
Can I use one line per pallet?
Yes. Use a separate line for each package type, pallet, carton group, or SKU grouping that needs to be distinguished.
Is this an official customs form?
It is a draft document generator. Verify destination-country requirements and use the final format requested by your broker, carrier, buyer, or letter of credit.
Does it store my data?
No. It runs locally in your browser and does not upload or retain form data.
Why are dimensions useful?
They help with freight planning, warehouse handling, volume verification, and damage/shortage checks.
