List what’s in a package — quantities, no prices.
A packing slip goes inside or on a shipment and lists what’s in it: each item, how many were ordered and how many were shipped. Backorders are shown automatically, and no prices are included, so it’s safe to send with gifts or to third parties.
Put a packing slip in the box so the recipient can check every item. It lists quantities, not prices.
