Label printing and application for food supplements
Label printing and application is an optional service. If you wish, we print your label from your artwork and apply it for €0.30 per unit, with no set-up fee. Or we supply the products without a label and you apply it yourself. Either way, you receive the label texts, a size template and a manual for your designer.
With our label service
We print your label from your artwork and apply it for €0.30 per unit, with no set-up fee. You receive a finished product ready for sale.
Without a label
We supply the products without a label and you print and apply it yourself. You only pay the product price from the price list. Before sale, every pack must carry a label with all mandatory information.
How our label printing and application works
Texts and template
After your order, we send you the label texts in selected languages, a 1:1 size template and a manual for your designer.
Your artwork
Your designer prepares the label using the template and sends a print-ready PDF.
Check and proof
We check the PDF (dimensions, mandatory information, legibility) and send you a proof for approval.
Printing and application
We print and apply the labels and usually dispatch the goods within 3–5 working days.
What you get from us, with or without our label
- Label texts in selected languages: ingredients in descending order of weight, active substances per daily dose with % NRV (nutrient reference value), dosage, warnings, allergens and storage.
- A size template for the specific pack at 1:1 scale.
- A manual for your designer: what must be on the label, the minimum font size, and where to place the lot number and the best-before date.
- An artwork check and a proof before printing, if we print the label.
What to watch out for
A food supplement label has a fixed set of mandatory information and must not claim to treat or prevent disease. You may only use health claims that are authorised in the EU register, and only under the conditions of use set for them.
A detailed overview is in the guides Food supplement label requirements and Health claims for food supplements.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a label cost?
Printing the label from your artwork and applying it costs €0.30 per unit excluding VAT. We do not charge a set-up fee.
Do you also design the artwork?
No, the label artwork is supplied by the client or their designer. They receive from us a 1:1 size template and a manual to prepare the label.
What must be on a food supplement label?
Among other things: the name of the food with the term “food supplement” in the language of the label, the list of ingredients, the recommended daily dose, warnings, the amount of nutrients and other substances per daily dose, the net quantity, the date of minimum durability, storage conditions, the lot number and the food business operator responsible for the information. We prepare the texts for your product; see the guide Food supplement label requirements.
In what language must the label be?
In a language easily understood by consumers in the country where the product is sold; each country can require one or more of its official languages (Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, Art. 15). We prepare label texts in selected languages, so you can also have a multilingual label.
Can I apply the labels myself?
Yes. Label printing and application is an optional service. Choose “without label” in your order, and you receive the products unlabelled and print and apply the label yourself. You only pay the product price and still receive the label texts and the size template. Before sale, every pack must carry a label with all mandatory information.
Have something specific in mind?
