Copford questions
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We check against both sets of rules. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll cover both.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Copford, showing our materials and finishes.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Essex enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Do you only work with Copford businesses?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Copford deliveries go by tracked delivery to CO6.
How quickly do you review a label?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label, and urgent checks can often be done quickly.
What the check covers for Copford brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003, the food information rules and the GB nutrition and health claims register, and send back a written report with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix. This is a practical check rather than legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers.
Copford is about 4 miles west of Colchester, in Essex. For Copford addresses, delivery is usually the next working day after dispatch, wherever you are in the CO6 postcode area.
