A food label carries everything a packaged food item needs at a glance: product name, net weight, price, packed and best-before dates, batch number and a barcode. This ZPL template keeps that dense information legible and compliant, printing cleanly at 203, 300 and 600 DPI.

What is this label for?

Food labels combine commercial and regulatory information: shoppers read the name, weight and price, while traceability relies on the batch number and dates. This template lays them out clearly so nothing important is missed at the counter or in an audit.

What this template includes

  • Product name and net weight
  • Price and unit price (per kg)
  • Packed and best-before dates
  • Batch / lot number and barcode

When to use it

  • Delis, butchers, bakeries and cheese counters
  • Pre-packed and weighed food
  • Traceability and date labelling
  • Supermarket fresh sections

Frequently asked questions

Can I add allergen or ingredient text?

Yes — add a text element in the editor for ingredients or allergens; you control the size and position freely.

How do I set the dates automatically?

The template fills today's date by default; edit the packed and best-before fields in the editor to your values or format.

Does it support weighed-item barcodes?

Yes. Use Code 128 or EAN-13 and enter your weight/price-embedded code in the editor.
