Three simple workflows

Convenient at home. Cost-effective for professional use.

Print the label you need in a few taps, or use the camera to do the typing for you.

UB

Use By

Choose how long something lasts, tap and print. Ideal for opened food, leftovers, fridges and freezers.

DD

Day Dot

Create weekday labels with the date and an action such as Made, Cooked or Defrosted.

Check

See what is expired, nearly due or still fine — then reprint any label exactly as it was.

Camera scanning

The camera does the typing.

Point it at a packet to read a Best Before or Expiry date. Point it at a shelf to spot labels that need attention.

It can also read printer model numbers and roll codes to make setup quicker.
