Labelling prepacked food is more than just printing a label. Producers have to comply with strict laws and regulations, take allergen information and batch numbers into account, and often meet logistical requirements for boxes and pallets too. The WeighLabel Pro app is a versatile solution for weighing and labelling that helps companies apply labels to food products and packaging correctly, efficiently and at scale.
What is the WeighLabel Pro app?
The WeighLabel Pro app is professional labelling software developed for weighing, recording and labelling food products. The application supports:
-
Labelling per item (item labels)
-
Top and bottom labels
-
Subtotal labels for boxes, crates and pallets
-
Full traceability
-
Connection to industrial hardware
The software works with label printers such as TSC and Zebra, and with scales from 1 kg to 1500 kg, from precision balances to pallet scales.
The WPL App is available as:
-
Standalone installation on a local workstation
-
Cloud solution for companies with multiple sites or central data storage
This flexibility makes the software suitable for both small artisan producers and large-scale food packers.
Key functions of the WeighLabel Pro app
1. Generating item labels
For each prepacked product, a complete label can be generated automatically with:
-
Product name
-
Net weight or unit price
-
Date marking (best before or use by)
-
Batch number
-
Barcode or QR code
-
Price information
-
E-mark (â„®) for standardised quantities
-
EC approval number for animal products such as meat, fish and dairy
2. Support for top and bottom labels
The WPL App supports products with multiple labels, such as:
-
Top label: consumer-facing, with product information, ingredients list, allergens (in bold), nutritional values, best-before date, barcode, E numbers, e-mark and EC number
-
Bottom label: flexible in use. In addition to logistics information such as batch codes and item codes, it can also show ingredients, allergens, date marking, weight and nutritional values. This is ideal for transparent packaging or double labelling.
3. Subtotal labels for boxes, crates and pallets
For bulk packaging such as boxes or pallets, the WeighLabel Pro app can automatically generate a subtotal label with:
-
Total number of packed items
-
Total weight
-
Item information or PLU code
-
Batch information
-
Production or packing date
-
Pallet or crate number
This increases traceability and makes manual counting unnecessary.
4. Connection to printers, scales and scanners
The WeighLabel Pro app communicates in real time with connected equipment:
-
Industrial label printers (TSC, Zebra)
-
Scales from 1 to 1500 kg
-
Scanners and operator terminals
Data is processed immediately, ensuring speed and accuracy. The risk of human error is kept to a minimum.
5. Cloud or local: flexible deployment
The software can be:
-
Installed locally (standalone) on a PC or workstation
-
Hosted in the cloud for central data processing across multiple sites, workstations or production units
This allows the WeighLabel Pro app to adapt to the scale of your organisation, with a single central management environment for PLUs, layouts, users and reporting.
6. Advanced product management
Via a central interface you can:
-
Create and manage products
-
Set up ingredients, allergens and E numbers
-
Set shelf-life logic per product
-
Generate batch numbers automatically
-
Add EC numbers and the â„® mark automatically
-
Link label templates to specific product groups or customers
All changes take effect immediately across the network or via the cloud.
Complies with labelling legislation
The WeighLabel Pro app supports all legal requirements for food labelling, including:
-
A full ingredients list with allergens visually highlighted
-
Listing of E numbers (such as E300, E621)
-
Correct use of date marking (best before or use by)
-
Application of the EC approval number for animal products
-
The e-mark (â„®) for fixed weights or volumes
-
Barcode or QR code for checkout, logistics or tracking
The labelling software is aligned with the rules of the Dutch food safety authority (NVWA) and European food legislation.
