Questions from Galashiels brands
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes, we can. Request a sample pack and we’ll post it to your Galashiels address, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
Do you only work with Galashiels businesses?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Galashiels orders go out by tracked courier to TD1.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We can check for both. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
What does the report look like?
A written, point-by-point report, with each item marked fine, advised or must fix, with suggested wording where needed.
Who checks supplement labels in the Scottish Borders?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Scottish Borders, overseen nationally by Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
What the check covers for Galashiels brands
Send your artwork or draft copy. We review it against the Food Supplements (Scotland) 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. 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, including ones from other printers.

Rules in Scotland
Labelling law for supplements from Galashiels
Any food supplement sold from Galashiels must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of Food Standards Scotland. At a local level, food labelling is enforced by the council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Scottish Borders.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
