Product Labels
All products that do not already have an official 12 digit UPC code must be labeled with the software-generated labels. If you need help with these, please contact us at info@iowafood.coop

For non-weighted items WITH an existing UPC code:
The 12 digit UPC code can be entered in any product within your catalog. You simply go to your catalog, locate the product, click edit within a gray variety box, and under the heading 'Variety Properties' there is a box to enter the 12 digit code. Don't forget to click SAVE at the bottom of that page before leaving.
Each item delivered must have a software-generated label. For labels that work best with our software, you can click the link for label specifications and purchasing sites.

It is very important that the QR code does not become wrinkled or bent, please ensure that it is completely flat and smooth on the package. If your item is too small for the entire software-generated label, IFC staff will cut it and put on the product. To avoid inventory errors, please do not do this yourselves.
Labeling specifications are found on the Web Order Labels page; if your item is frozen, you’ll need to use the weatherproof/vinyl labels
If you have trouble getting a label to adhere to a product, please put the item in a plastic or paper bag and affix the label. See example (pictured on the right) of one way to label small items.
