Triple the efficiency of your shipping department… …without cloning. Printing and applying traditional packing slips is a labor-intensive process that devours an average of 40 seconds per package. It requires shipping-department employees to print a slip on a laser printer…fold the slip in half at least twice…slide the slip into the sleeve…remove the liner…and stick the sleeve onto the box.
