# How To: Print Labels

_By Brandon Munn · Dec 9, 2024_

In BrewMan, you can print off two main types of labels.

**Returnable Labels:** These labels are for items that are in returnable containers such as casks. They show key information for your customers such as the Product Name, Tasting Notes and Allergy Information. These containers should have a permanent label, this will hold a QR code which will be used for scanning.

**Non-Returnable Labels:** These are for items that you do not need to be returned such as a case of bottles or a rented keg. They show product information as well as display QR codes. These codes can be scanned at the **Distribution** stage so that your items are tracked to the end customer for traceability purposes.

### **Printing Labels:**

Go to **Stock** → **Products** and click into a **Product**. Then, click **Print Labels** in the bottom right of the screen. (this can also be done via the 3x dots of the product on the **Products List Page**.

The **Package Type** of the **Product** must be marked as **Traceable**. To check, go **Administration** → **Settings** → **Products** → **Package Types**. Here you will also set the label template used.

Enter the **Batch Number,** **Best Before Date,** **Quantity** and then click **Print Labels**.

\*This will not alter **Stock** levels. You can use a [**Stock Adjustment**](https://premier-systems-ltd.featureos.help/en/articles/how-to-manage-stock-transfers-and-adjustments) if you want to increase stock.

Alternatively, you can print from an in-progress **Production Process** which will allow you to alter stock levels when you output from the **Process**. You will still be able to print **Labels** when the process is **Complete**.

Within a **Production Process,** click **Print Labels.** Then select the type of Label you wish to print, enter the **Quantity**, confirm the **Best before Date** and click **Print Labels**. You will be shown a PDF preview of your **Labels**, which you can then print.

Premier Systems supports and recommends using the Godex RT700 thermo-transfer printer. However, you can use any printer that supports printing 100x100mm labels.

### **Label Information** :

**Non-Returnable Labels** and **Returnable Labels** display the same information except for the QR code used on Non-Returnable labels for tracking and traceability purposes.

**Returnable** containers should have Permanent Labels for tracking instead. The [Container Tracking](https://premier-systems-ltd.featureos.help/en/articles/step-9-container-tracking-adding-containers) guide for help with this:
