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.
