If it comes out of a printer, odds are good it was generated using a Whiplash Template. It's now possible to create unlimited Templates for different versions of things like Packing Slips, Email Confirmations, and Carton Contents Labels.

Templates support HTML/CSS, EPL, and ZPL files. You can find them in the upper-right menu.

Create a copy of one of the defaults, and start customizing!

Common Questions

What happened to my old Packing Slips and Email Confirmations?

We put your existing templates into our new infrastructure. The files are still there, but they have a new home. The old pages in Preferences take you where you need to be.

What kinds of things can go in Templates?

For HTML templates, this doc is a good resource. If you're writing in ZPL, those variables will work.
