Rules in Wales
Supplement labelling rules for Downs
Products you sell from Downs must meet the Food Supplements (Wales) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of the Food Standards Agency in Wales. In Cardiff, food labelling is enforced by council trading standards or environmental health staff.
Welsh-language text is optional on supplement labels. If you add it, both languages must be accurate and the mandatory text must still meet the 1.2 mm minimum x-height.
A good first step is our label requirements checklist, then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

How design works for Downs businesses
Send us your formula, pack size and any brand assets. We design the back panel to the rules first, then the front to sell, and send concepts for you to choose from. Each design comes with a compliance check and print-ready files with the correct dieline, whether you print with us or elsewhere. You can bring your own logo and colours or start from scratch.
Downs is about 4 miles north of Barry, in Cardiff. Brands in Downs send us their artwork online, and we deliver by tracked courier to CF5. We cover 25 towns and villages across Cardiff.

Common questions in Downs
Do I need to visit a designer near Downs?
No. We rarely meet clients in person: briefs, concepts and changes all happen by video call and email.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Downs?
Downs is in Wales, so the Food Supplements (Wales) Regulations 2003 cover your label, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Do you do range designs?
Yes. We build a system: colour-coded products, a shared back-panel layout and templates for new SKUs.
What if I sell in Northern Ireland too?
We check against both sets of rules. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, 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 cover both.
Can you design labels I’ll print somewhere else?
Yes. The final files are yours, set up for print with bleed and a dieline.
