Work Order Reformat

Work orders created with the "Download Work Order" button at the top of the page are inefficient with their use of the space on the page, causing orders to be 10 pages long when they could be much shorter.
Instead of giving each garment type its own section and instructions, it should have sections for each colorway with their instructions, then each garment type and quantity that gets that printing is grouped under it.
Also, adding in the company name in the top lefthand corner would be appreciated for when we send to our outsource printers, as well as an auto populated box with the ship to address from the order, so it doesn't need to be constantly typed in the job notes.

It would also be effective to utilize the space in the "ITEM NAME" area--so it doesn't cut off text. That way I can add a bit more details to the item for production. Right now the space cuts off the item info so if there is anything important, it is not visible--other than the NOTES. And notes is another issue--they appear randomly and separate from the item, which makes it confusing for production, and quite frankly makes zero sense.

Change formatting of Work Order

Work orders can easily end up being 10+ pages, but can easily be formatted down to an easier to manage size. Attached is an example our production team made up. A few changes included:
-Downsizing the space each item takes up
-Inclusion of our business name at the top of the page (Especially necessary when sending work orders to outside vendors)
-Change to portrait rather than landscape printing
-Also note the inclusion of the ship to address (redacted for privacy) in the notes. If there could be a place for that address to auto-populate from the order that would save time entering it on every order.

1 work order vs 1 work order. We could save the forest with reformation. Can literally fit a ton of different products or colorways, with sizing, line by line in the second format

To be honest, I cant even use the system until the work orders are reformatted. My production relies on a paper work order.
