Packaging & Forwarding are Services so instead of HSN an SAC would apply.

The SAC List for GST is different from Service Tax regime.

As per GST list you may fit as per need:

Packaging services of goods for others (998540)
Other packaging services n.e.c (998549)
Clearing and forwarding services (996713)

For selling material we Put HSN. & We add Packing & Forwarding to that.

Now if P & F comes under Service as said above can we put HSN & SAC in same invoice. & what if Tax slabs are different.?

GST rate on P & F will be the same which is charged on the actual good.

In invoices for supply of goods, the tax rate on freight would be dependent on GST levied on the good. If GST rate on good is 5%, it shall also be 5% & if GST rate on good is 18%, it shall also be charged at 18%.
