Get set up: your first label in 4 steps

Dill has already set up your account, your stores and your label designs. All you do is add what you sell. Do this on a computer.

Before you start

  • Your admin login for dillprint.web.app. Dill sends this to you.
  • The ingredient list for one product, from the supplier's pack or spec sheet.

Click Home at the top left, then Recipe Builder.

  1. Click New Ingredient

    It's in the bar at the top. A form opens.

  2. Type the name and paste what's in it

    Put the name your staff know it by in Name. Copy the ingredients list from the supplier's pack into Ingredients and allergens. If you buy it from more than one place, add the Supplier too.

  3. Click Flag Allergens, then wait 5 seconds

    Dill finds the allergens for you. Nothing moves while it works, so give it a moment.

    Wait for itThere's no spinner. It can take up to 5 seconds before anything changes.

  4. Check the allergens are marked, then Save

    Each allergen now has <* and *> around it, like <*Egg*>. Those print in bold. If one was missed, type the marks yourself. Then click Save.

    No allergens?For something like lettuce, just type the name in both boxes and click Save.

Create the item

Click Home, then Add PPDS Label. An item is something you sell, made from your ingredients.

  1. Name it and pick a category

    Type the name as it should print in Item Name. Choose a Category so staff can find it.

  2. Add the ingredients

    Type part of a name in Search Ingredient and click it. Do this for each one. They print in this order, and you can drag them to change it.

  3. Say how long it lasts

    Leave Days picked, or choose Hours, and type a whole number. Dill works out the use-by date when it prints.

  4. Type the price in pence

    450 means £4.50. No pound sign, no dot.
