What the check covers for Portnahaven brands

Portnahaven questions
Do you only work with Portnahaven businesses?
No. We work online and deliver across the UK, so it makes no difference where you’re based. Portnahaven orders go out by tracked courier to PA47.
How quickly do you review a label?
We confirm the turnaround when you send your label.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes, we can. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Portnahaven, so you can feel the materials and finishes before you order.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. 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. Let us know where your products go and we’ll check the label for each market.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Argyll and Bute enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.

Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
