Reprinting labels from history

under review

Paul

Sometimes we need multiple stickers with the same Use By dates, but we may need them at different times. For example, we open a jar of Green olives and it lasts for 60 days as long they remain in their juice. But we don't pull directly from that jar, and we fill up another container that we use to prepare food. When that container gets about half empty, we refill it. Say it takes 5 days to use half the container, and we want to reprint a new ticket for a new and clean pan. If we print a new ticket that day, the date is actually off by 5 days. And every time we refill it, we are making new stickers. We would like to have a manual entry template, or a way to reprint from the history of a certain item.

Ability to backdate labels

For example, if we need to reprint a label that was printed two days ago. It has a shelf life of 7 days so now we need to make one with 5 days.

Paul, thank you for your feedback. I am excited to share we have a newly released feature in our labeling, At Print Time label items. These items prompt the user at the time of printing to add additional information on the label.  I believe this could be a solution for your needs. 
The Date Time Input item will prompt the user to enter a date and/or time (you select the format when adding this item to your label template), that is then printed on the label. They can simply select the date and time of the original label. 
To use this feature, either create a new or update an existing label template and use the Date Time Input item.  You can refer to the link below to access an article on how to add items to a label template.

If you have any questions or would like to go over this together, please let me know. Thanks!

Sarah: Hi Sarah, I just checked and am not seeing the Date/Time Input on my label template section in the "Entered When Printing Label" area. The three other inputs are there but not the date/time input, would you please confirm this is available for all users?

Sarah

Nicholas: It was just released, but I have now verified that it is active in your account. Let me know if you have any questions or help.

Nicholas

Sarah: Thank you again! I'm sorry, but I have another question/suggestion. The date and time only allows us to forward date the label, not back date. Is there a way to allow the dating to be back dated? If a label falls off our product, we would want the product to be dated to when it was first made, not when we labeled it that day.

Sarah

Nicholas: You're welcome :)

You should be able to select a future or past date, in my testing it works in both directions.

Same here, we make batches of salsa and ranch and queso, etc, when we portion it out that day it's fine, but sometimes we don't portion it out until the next day or day after and we need labels that match the original batch date. Not having this means either we write it by hand (which defeats the purpose of paying for this) or we are keeping inaccurate logs, which is dangerous.

Nicholas

Jennifer: Agreed, please help Jolt!

Sussy

same request here. please let us know if there's a solution to this. We always repack from original containers at a later date and need the same original date on the sticker

For a workaround, you could print a couple extra labels on the day you open the jar and pull one of the labels off the existing container and place on the freshly prepped pans as you continue to refill.

The other thing you could do is prep the whole jar into multiple containers on the day you open the jar.

Michael: I created a template with the item name, expire date, expire time and labeled it a “flipping label” working great for this!
