Labels for Multiple Packaging Sizes

Creating Many Labels from one Recipe

If, for example, you have created a candy bar that you will be packaging in 10 oz., 5 oz., and 12 oz. sizes, you can create one Recipe for the candy bar and create Labels for each size simply by changing the serving size and number of servings per container entered. Because it will be the same recipe, the nutrient content will remain the same. Only the serving sizes and servings per container will change accordingly.

  1. Create the Recipe you will be using.
  2. Select the Advanced Label button.
  3. Select New.
  4. Name the Label.
  5. Select Standard Type under Label.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Add the Recipe.
  8. Click Finish.
  9. Save that Label.

Change serving size and servings per container

  1. Right-click on the Label and select Settings.
  2. Select Items.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. Enter in the Serving Size and Servings per container.
  5. Make sure the Override Label box is checked.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Save this Label under a different name.

Continue creating Labels in this manner. Remember: Overriding the Recipe’s serving size and servings per container does not recalculate the nutrient information. Therefore, double-check to make sure your entered serving size is accurate per the nutrient value.
