> Choose an A4 portrait packing slip preset or download a template to import and customise in the editor.

Choose a ready-made packing slip layout, then customise it with the shipment and item details your team needs. The three templates below are available as A4 portrait presets in UI 2.0's new custom editor and as downloadable Excel files.

## Choose a preset in UI 2.0

1. Go to **Settings > [Packing slips](https://next.starshipit.com/settings/packing-slip)** and select **New custom template editor**.
2. Select **A4 portrait** as the template size.
3. Under **Preset template**, choose **Basic A4 template**, **Invoice A4 template** or **Pick and Pack A4 template**. This replaces the unsaved draft and sets its printable area. Use **Discard** to restore the last saved layout if needed.
4. Update or remove the company name and website URL placeholders, then customise the layout.
5. Select **Save**. Reopen the editor to check the saved layout, then print a packing slip for an existing order to check the page fit and populated fields.

The preset name is not retained after reopening; your saved layout is. Presets do not apply to packing summaries, other paper sizes or orientations, or Classic templates. For manual import, download the appropriate file below and follow [Upload a template](#upload-a-template).
