Labels mean everything, whatever product you’re selling. Every day, consumers rely on labels to know more about an item before making a purchase. This is especially true for food packaging labels.

What is Required in a Food Label?

Aside from improving a product’s packaging, food labels are also a legal requirement by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The contents of your label need to include more information to help consumers compare and choose products easily.

Here’s what you should remember to add when designing your food labels, especially if you plan to distribute your product in retail:

List of ingredients. Start your list with the ingredient that weighs the most and in descending order. Be sure to include food allergen advice if your product contains eggs, nuts, and such.
Nutrition facts. This panel needs to indicate the average serving size and corresponding nutrition information. If a nutrition or health claim is made (e.g. low in fat), your label must provide that information.
Important dates. Food is perishable, so be sure to include date marks for when the product was made or packed and when it should be consumed.
Storage and preparation instructions. This keeps your products safe and in good quality for consumption. Provide instructions if customers need to refrigerate the product after opening or store in a cool dry place.
Manufacturer details. Provide the name and address of your manufacturer and distributor in case customers need to reach you. For imported goods, identify the country in which the food was made or processed.

FAQ's

Do you print bottle and beverage labels?
Yes, we can print on all types of products, including bottles. Our most durable materials for bottle labels are white vinyl and BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) materials. White vinyl is UV-resistant and waterproof, so you have the option to use your labels outdoors. BOPP is suitable for bottle labels that need to be stored in refrigerators. Choose clear BOPP for a no-label look, opaque white for a solid background, and silver metallic for a foil-like appearance.

Can I write on my food labels?
Yes, we recommend white premium sticker paper and uncoated Estate adhesive paper. White premium sticker paper is a popular label material suitable for indoor application, and you can choose between gloss and matte coating for added protection. Estate adhesive paper comes uncoated with a linear texture. It’s great for wine bottle labels and can be used for handwritten mailing labels.

Are labels safe to use on food products?
Yes, all our food labels are non-toxic and safe to use on products. If your products need to be stored in the refrigerator, choose BOPP labels since they are resistant to moisture, oil, or chilled in a refrigerator. This material protects the ink from running and keeps your label intact.
