Since we want to give merchants the freedom to create their own unique labels, there are not many requirements when it comes to design.
Content requirements
You have the freedom to customize the label design with your logo and colors. You are, however, required to display:
• The name of the dietary supplement
• The net quantity of contents statement (amount of the dietary supplement)
• The nutrition labeling (Supplement Facts)
• The ingredient list (Supplement Facts)
• The name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer,
or distributor
Label Section Highlights:
Green color: you can add or remove and freely modify the content of the section. In the above example, you can change the name of the product and add your logo.
Yellow: you can only modify the content of the section.
• In the Middle Panel you can add/remove product benefits and highlight
product properties ONLY as long as you add an asterisk so that it refers back
to the disclaimer in the Left Panel. Do not use unproven claims or aggressive marketing.
• In the Left Panel you can provide more information on dosage ONLY as
long as manufacturer dosage remains the same.
• In the Right Panel you must add your Company Name and Address.
Red: you mustn’t modify this section in any way.
(However, for European countries, this section can be translated. Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers states that, where labeling is required, it should be “in a language easily understood by the consumers of the Member States where a food is marketed”, so if you are exporting food products to the European Union, labeling needs to be in the most appropriate language for the country you are exporting to.)
**Labelling requirements for supplements vary from country to country. Each country has its own set of regulations that must be followed to ensure that the product is safe for consumption and accurately labeled. Ultimately, as the supplement seller, you are responsible for ensuring that your labels comply with all applicable regulations. By researching and staying up to date with the latest regulations, you can ensure that your product labels meet the requirements of the countries where you are selling them and protect your customers and your business.
Template Vs Final Design Example
Here you will be able to see how a final designed logo follows the template and label requirements.

Final Design Example: Notice how the colored zones are being used.
Design requirements.
Design requirements are much simpler. You can change the background color, and font color, and add shapes, illustrations, and icons so long as:
• Generally speaking, don’t use font size lower than 6pts on a white background and 7pts on a black background;
• The lettering must contrast sufficiently (it does not need to be black and white) with the background to be easy to read.
Design verification*.
Before sending a certain product to you or your end customer for the very first time, our internal labeling experts will verify the designed label and check whether it meets the above requirements. Once a design is approved all orders will be fulfilled automatically.
*We also highly suggest placing a sample order as your initial order. This will allow you to see how your designed labels look in reality and test the product firsthand. Ordering a sample can be highly beneficial as it provides you with the opportunity to assess the quality, appearance, and overall impression of your branded products. It’s always a good practice to ensure that you are fully satisfied with the result before proceeding with larger orders.
