Label Design: Andy presents different label formats which differ in the fields to be completed either manually by a team member and/or automatically by Andy.
Status: The status of a product indicates the action that needs to be taken in relation to a product and it must be clarified in advance. It will appear on the label with the automatic date and time.
Expiration: This refers to the time in minutes, days, hours, months, or years it takes for the product to expire once opened, i.e., its secondary expiration.
