Net Weight and Tare Weight are menu item features that can be put on a printer profile. 

Both the Net Weight and Tare Weight are text fields that appear exactly as written on the label and are not affected by the scale. They are used when there is a predefined weight, without the scale.

If looking to add scale weight to your labels, see How to Setup Your Portal with the Scale to Weigh Menu Items.

  • Net Weight: weight of the menu item minus the container, including unit used. 
  • Tare Weight: weight of the container, including unit used. 

NOTE

Include the measurement units so the units appear on your printer profile. 

 

Both features are added in the menu items tab in the portal, see How to Add or Edit Menu Items.

Net Weight and Tare Weight are added to printer profiles in the Layout Designer in the Printer Profiles tab, see Printer Profiles.
