Shipping Manifest Template
A shipping manifest template is a document used by vessel operators to list the cargo being carried on a vessel. It typically includes the quantity, weight, and type of goods being transported as well as information on the consignor (the entity shipping the cargo) and the consignee (the entity to whom the cargo is shipped).
This shipping or transport manifest template can be used for cargo and freight as a trucking manifest, road manifest, air manifest, or ocean manifest.
Packing Slip Template
Also known as a shipping or packing list template, a packing slip template is a list of all the items included in an order. It typically includes item specifications such as order quantity, ship quantity, weight, and item number or SKU (Stock Keeping Unit). Aside from product details, a packing slip template will also contain the recipient’s name, address, and phone number.
