Common questions in Downpatrick
Do you send samples?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Downpatrick address, showing our materials and finishes before you order.
Can you check a label that’s already printed?
We’ll still check them. If we find problems, we’ll tell you which are urgent and which can wait for your next print run.
Do you only work with Downpatrick businesses?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Downpatrick orders go by tracked delivery to BT30.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Downpatrick?

What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
What the check covers for Downpatrick brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2003, the food information rules and the EU nutrition and health claims register, and send back a written report with every point marked as fine, advised or must fix. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step. The check covers any label, whoever designed or printed it, not just our own.
