Label and brand design for Port Ellen supplement businesses
We design supplement labels for Port Ellen brands that look good on the shelf and pass a compliance check first time.
Rules in Scotland
Label rules that apply in Port Ellen
Any food supplement sold from Port Ellen must meet the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003, under the oversight of Food Standards Scotland. In Argyll and Bute, food labelling is enforced by the council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Argyll and Bute.
Scotland has its own food regulator, but the supplement labelling rules match England and Wales, so one label works across Great Britain.
A good first step is our label requirements checklist, and then check your health claims, %NRV figures and nutrient guides.

How design works for Port Ellen businesses
We work online, so you don’t need a local agency. We start with a short video call or written brief, then send first concepts. Your label is built around the legal panel, so nothing has to be squeezed in later. Each design comes with a compliance check and print-ready files with the correct dieline. You can bring your own logo and colours, or we can create them from scratch.
Port Ellen (Gaelic: Port Eilein) is about 30 miles north of Ballycastle, in Argyll and Bute.

We print for brands right across the region, from Port Ellen to Belfast (about 72 miles away), all at the same prices.

FAQs for Port Ellen
Do I need to meet a designer in Port Ellen?
No. We rarely meet clients in person: briefs, concepts and changes all happen by video call and email.
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We check against both sets of rules. Northern Ireland follows EU food law, so claims must come from the EU register and the address must be in NI or the EU. Tell us where you sell and we’ll check the label for each market.
Do I own the design files?
Yes. You get the final files, set up for print with bleed and a dieline.
Do you do range designs?
Yes. We build a system: colour coding by benefit, a shared back-panel layout and templates for new SKUs.
Who enforces food labelling in Argyll and Bute?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Argyll and Bute, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
