Etsy 4x6 Packing Slip Maker for Thermal Printers
Etsy's built-in packing slip is easy to print on letter paper, but it can turn tiny and hard to read when sellers try to squeeze it onto a 4x6 thermal label. Open your Etsy order CSV, Excel file, pasted rows, or shared Google Sheet in a local-first workflow, then make one clean 4x6 packing slip or pick list per order.
Built for Rollo, Zebra, DYMO 4XL, Brother QL-1100, Munbyn, Phomemo, JADENS, iDPRT, Polono, and similar 4x6 thermal printers.
For handmade shops, custom orders, small-batch fulfillment, and packing stations
Create 4x6 Etsy packing slips from order rows
Import Etsy orders from CSV, Excel, pasted rows, or a shared Google Sheet in a local-first workflow. Map columns like order number, buyer name, item title, quantity, SKU, variations, personalization, gift message, and buyer note. Preview each 4x6 slip, then export a print-ready PDF.

4x6 slip
Works with the files sellers already use
A 4x6 packing slip should not look like a shrunken receipt
Etsy sellers often want a small insert that follows the order through packing, catches personalization details, and gives the buyer a clean receipt or thank-you note. A letter-size packing slip scaled down to a thermal label can make the important parts too small.
Print for the box, not for a binder
Use a true 4x6 page size so the order number, quantity, SKU, item title, and buyer note stay readable on thermal labels.
Keep custom-order details visible
Show variations, personalization, gift messages, and buyer notes where packers can see them before the order is sealed.
Use the data you already exported
Start from Etsy order exports, copied rows, Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets. Local files are handled in the browser, and no Etsy account connection is required.
Stay out of your shipping stack
Use Etsy, Pirate Ship, ShipStation, or any postage workflow you already like. This page only creates the packing slip or pick list.
Built around the awkward moments Etsy sellers actually hit
The point is not to replace Etsy or a shipping platform. It is to make the small piece of paper inside the package do its job.
Instead of printing a full letter page or shrinking it until the text is hard to read, build a layout meant for one 4x6 thermal label.
How the 4x6 packing slip flow works
A short packing-station workflow for sellers who already have Etsy order data in a spreadsheet.
Export, paste, or open order rows
Use an Etsy CSV export, a cleaned Excel file, pasted CSV rows, or a shared Google Sheet. Local spreadsheet files are read in your browser.
Check the detected columns
Map order ID, buyer name, shipping address, item title, quantity, SKU, variations, personalization, gift message, and buyer note.
Choose packing slip or pick list
Use a buyer-friendly packing slip, a packer-friendly pick list, or a gift order layout that keeps prices out of the insert.
Export a 4x6 PDF
Print one packing slip per 4x6 page at 100% scale on your thermal printer.
Small details that make packing slips useful
A packing slip is only helpful if the person packing the box can trust it at a glance.
Order grouping
Multiple item rows with the same order ID can become one packing slip with a clear item list.
Large quantity and SKU
Make the fields packers scan first easier to see on a 4x6 label.
Gift and note handling
Keep gift messages and buyer notes visible, with a gift-friendly layout that avoids showing prices.
No account connection required
Start with local files or Google Sheets instead of granting Etsy API access or moving fulfillment data into another shipping system.
Where this fits next to Etsy and shipping platforms
Use this when the problem is the packing slip format, not postage buying or carrier label generation.
