The Report Builder comes with pre-built templates that create professional documents from the recipe you have already set up in Food Label Maker. Rather than copying nutrition data, ingredient statements, and product details into separate files, you open a template and the information populates on its own. Every document stays consistent with your recipe, and any future change to the recipe carries through.
Watch the tutorial:
Opening the Report Builder
Open your recipe and go to the Reports tab. Select Report Builder from the row of report types. You will see the Templates menu on the left and the editing canvas in the center.
The three pre-built templates
Click the Templates menu to see the ready-made options, each built for a different audience:
Consumer Shareable Report, a customer-facing document with your product image, characteristics, ingredient statement, nutrition facts label, allergens, and nutrition claims. Use it for menus, websites, and packaging.
Technical Data Sheet, a detailed internal document that lays out your product specifications. Use it when you need to share full technical detail with partners or co-manufacturers.
Product Specification Sheet, a spec-focused document built for production and quality teams. It includes a nutrition breakdown table and a testing and verification section for items such as microbiological and physicochemical results.
Select any template and it loads into the canvas ready to edit.
How templates fill with your recipe data
Each template is built with variables that pull live data from your recipe. Fields such as {recipe_name}, {serving_size}, {calories}, {ingredient_text}, {number_of_servings}, and {date_today_plus_12_months} fill in the moment you select the recipe, so the template arrives already populated. If you want to add a variable to a text element yourself, click Add variables and choose the field you need.
Fine-tuning a template
Every element in a template has a menu in its top right corner. From there you can hide the title, hide the borders, adjust the margins, or delete the element entirely. Text elements include standard formatting controls for bold, italics, alignment, lists, and tables, so you can shape any section to match your brand while keeping the template structure.
Generating a QR code
Click QR Code to create a dynamic QR code for the recipe. Add it to your menu, website, or packaging so customers can reach the nutritional information instantly. Because the code is dynamic, any change you make to the recipe or label later is reflected automatically without generating a new code. You can toggle the Food Label Maker logo on or off, then download the code.
Sharing and downloading
Use Share to send the report, Download to export it, and Preview to see the finished document before you send it.
Saving your edited template
Once you have adjusted a template the way you like, open the Templates menu and click Save As Template. Your version is saved so you can apply it to your next recipe without setting it up again.
