Prescription Label Printing
Professional herbal medicine labels, generated as PDFs and printed straight from your browser — no label software required
No Label Software Required
Most label printers ship with their own design software — Brother P-touch Editor, DYMO Label, and so on. Daobook takes a different approach.
Daobook generates the label as a PDF, sized to fit your printer, and prints it via your browser’s standard print dialog (Cmd+P on Mac, Ctrl+P on Windows). No extra software to install, no templates to manage, and no compatibility issues between a label app and your operating system.
The only requirement is that your label printer registers as a system printer so the browser can see it. This is why printer choice matters — and why we have a clear recommendation.

How It Works
Three steps from setup to printed label
Set Up Your Practice
Your clinic name, address, phone number, and AHPRA registration appear on every label automatically. Set these once in your practice settings.
Create a Prescription
Use the prescription builder to create a formula or product prescription with the in-clinic dispensary (the default). In-clinic prescriptions are automatically available for label printing.
Print Your Label
Go to Print Labels, find the prescription, and hit print. Daobook generates a PDF sized for your printer — 62×100mm for Brother or 59×102mm for DYMO — and your browser sends it straight to the printer.
What’s on the Label?
Every label is automatically populated from your prescription and practice details. Nothing to type or template — it’s all pulled from data you’ve already entered.
- Formula or product name
- Full herb ingredient list with quantities
- Client name and prescription date
- Practitioner name and AHPRA registration number
- Clinic name, address, and phone number
- Dosage and administration instructions
- Optional clinic logo
Recommended Printers
