Design & compliance

Label design, with the rules built in

Good supplement labels sell and stay legal. We design both sides of the pack and check every label we print, including ones designed elsewhere.

Questions about design and compliance

Is your compliance check legal advice?

No. It is a practical review by people who read supplement labels every day. For a formal opinion, use a regulatory consultant or a Primary Authority partner. We’ll tell you when we think you need one.

Do you check health claims?

Yes. We compare the wording against authorised claims on the GB nutrition and health claims register and check the conditions of use, such as minimum amounts per daily dose.

Can you fit everything on a small bottle?

Usually. We work to the 1.2 mm minimum x-height (0.9 mm on packs with a largest surface under 80 cm²) and use peel-and-reveal labels when the text will not fit.

Send us your artwork. We’ll check it before we print it.

Every quote includes a regulatory read-through of your label copy. You get a written list of fixes before anything goes to press.
