Manage label designs and images in Dutchie POS

You can create your own label templates from scratch, or Dutchie Support can copy pre-made state-specific templates to your location, which you can further customize.

Things to consider

• Labels are not automatically shared between your locations. Contact Dutchie Support for more information about copying labels to your other locations or using pre-made templates.
• Only black and white labels and images are supported.
• To print labels, you will need to connect and sync a label printer first.
• The label designer supports various keyboard Shortcuts. A guide to available shortcuts is provided in the label preview.
  
• When resizing labels, be careful not to make the label width smaller than the total width of its elements.

Create a new label design

1. From Settings > Labels, click the Add label button.
2. Select the Label details tab.
3. Fill in the required fields.

Set label dimensions

When you open a label in the new designer, all fields are pre-populated with default values. You can adjust the label size before adding or arranging fields.

1. Drag the anchor points on the label preview to resize it visually, or enter specific values in the Width and Height fields.
   
2. The designer snaps to half-inch increments by default. To enter a custom size that falls outside those increments, type the value directly into the Width or Height field. Or, you can disable snapping temporarily by holding the Ctrl key.

Add and arrange fields

1. Click the fields menu and then Add field to open the field selector.
   
2. Choose the field you want to add, for example Batch Name, Package ID, or Serial Number, then save the field.
3. Drag the field to your preferred position on the label preview. Grid snapping is on by default and will help align fields automatically, but you can disable snapping temporarily by holding the Ctrl key while clicking and dragging.
4. To resize a field, drag its anchor points, or enter values in the Width, Height, X, or Y inputs.
5. To adjust field rotation, use the rotation control.
6. Repeat for each additional field.

To search for a specific field, use the search bar above the field list. Hovering over a field in the list highlights it in the label preview.

To delete a field, click it in the field list and press the Delete key on your keyboard. You can undo a deletion with Ctrl+Z.

Bulk-select and edit multiple fields

You can select multiple fields at once to reposition or reformat them together.

1. Click and drag to draw a selection around the fields you want to edit.
2. To move the selected fields, drag them to a new position on the label.
3. To edit a shared property such as font size, X coordinate, or Y coordinate, update the value in the corresponding input. The change will apply to all selected fields.

For example, to align two fields to the same horizontal row, select both fields and enter the same value in the Y field.

Add text to a label

1. Select Misc | Free text from the Field drop-down.
2. Type your text into the Value field.
