Packing Partner is a software package that I use to handle my packing, labelling and invoicing for the diverse sites on which OctoInkjet kits are sold.

Overview

Packing Partner (Label and Invoice editions) provides one of the simplest and most efficient way to collect and print your online sales from one or a number of different online eCommerce solutions including Amazon, eBay, eBid, OSCommerce, ZenCart, and more.

The software integrates with Internet Explorer and allows you to collect sales records, automatically format addresses and removes the time consuming copy/paste, capitalise, etc.. tasks that manual approaches require.

You can also choose from standard templates or create custom ones to suit your own label sheets or integrated labels.

Label Edition

The label edition handles most standard labelling tasks and most importantly remembers the last used label on a sheet so you can always re-insert a label sheet and let the software start printing on the labels still left over.

Invoice Edition

As used by OctoInkjet, this prints out shipping, custom forms, PPI images and invoice details onto integrated label pages providing you with a single page with everything you need on it to pack, label and ship your orders.
