2. Invoice Template with Sidebar

Invoice Simple offers another cool template with a different layout. Unlike the above template, in this one, your details are in a separate sidebar on the left. This template also offers the same items — description, quantity, unit price, and total value. Fortunately, there is free space to add both client and company signature at the bottom of the invoice.

The sidebar on the left has a drawback though. It decreases the size of the table and makes the description column appear smaller. The template works best for invoices with a small product description. Check other Google Docs invoice templates by Invoice Simple.

To use the template, follow the method mentioned for the above template — go to File > Make a copy.
