Sidebar Rail layout
Rail Modern invoice template
Left rail carries both parties and the banking; the right column is only the work.
What you see above is the whole document — every template stays visible whatever you pay. Making an invoice with Rail Modern itself is not part of the Free plan: Free covers 6 of the 60 templates, which are the 6 the generator offers, and the rest arrive with the paid plan when it launches.

How this sheet is set
The Sidebar Rail layout unskinned — Open Sans and IBM Plex Mono on the default blue. The rail does the work and nothing is added to it.
The Sidebar Rail layout
Both parties, the tax identifiers and the whole banking block move into a fixed left rail, leaving the right column for nothing but the work. That gives the sheet two reading columns: one that never changes between invoices and one that always does.
Who it suits
Recurring work for the same client, where the requisites are settled and only the schedule is new each month.
The voice a finance department reads without noticing it: neutral sans-serif type, plain hierarchy, enough weight to survive a photocopy, and no typographic opinion competing with the figures.
What it prints
Every template in the library prints the same set of facts — a template that dropped one would fail the library’s own contract test. What changes between them is where the facts sit and how they are set.
- Issuer and recipient, each with an address, an optional contact line, and a tax label and number you write yourself.
- Invoice number, issue date, service period, payment terms or an explicit due date, and the date of the service agreement.
- Your own references — purchase order, contract, cost centre — labelled the way your client labels them.
- Line items with a quantity, an optional unit, an optional period, a rate and an amount.
- A note field, and full banking details with an optional payment reference.
Anything you leave empty prints nothing at all — no blank labels, no placeholder rows.
