Food Labels

A food label must not only be easy to read but should be attractive to grab consumer’s attention too. Besides, it must involve all the details necessary to be compliant with the law & regulations.

A basic food label should include details about:

• Nutrition facts
• Food allergens
• The manufacturer with its address
• Ingredients list

Food Label Printing is of different types, including cut to size, adhesive labels, and roll labels.
Cut-to-Size Food Label is a stacked label professionally cut by hand for the best results.
In the roll food labels, you’ll get the food label in the form of rolls. They are usually continuous, and you can cut them based on your needs.
Adhesive labels have the sticking material present at their back, which attaches to all the surfaces, becoming a permanent part of your food label.

The use of paper is dependent on the type of food items and their storage needs. For example, if you need to store something in the refrigerator, you should use water-resistant paper; similarly, if a food item is stored in a dry place, the paper requirement might differ. Here are a few options you have.

Clear, white, silver metallic, or rainbow holographic BOPP is some paper types you can use for food label printing. White Paper sticker is used in situations when looking for general indoor label applications, whereas White Vinyl is waterproof and UV resistant, thus can be used for both indoor and outdoor packaging.

The finish that you see in the food label printing is usually because of:

Matte: it has a silk-like finish, which makes detailing easy. Food items that require a long list of ingredients or information to share must go for this one.

Gloss: this finishing type is used for image-heavy food labels in which you want to show your product to be vibrantly seen.

High Gloss: These food products have the most reflectivity. Bright colors are usually part of these labels.

You can choose any of these finishes in the label printing based on the product you are labeling.

Circle, square, rectangle, and oval are the most common shapes used for the food label. However, you can come up with a custom shape to be used on the food packaging. M&R Label can help you with it.

To create attractive and readable food label prints, you need to adopt the following procedure:

Configure the product for which you need the labels.

• Design the label based on the FDA requirements and ingredients of the products.
• Choose the right paper and finish.
• Share your design with us for consultation.

The FDA has specific requirements for what information must be included on food labels. This consists of the product’s name, ingredient list, net weight, and manufacturer’s information. The label must also include a statement of identity, which is a brief description of the product. For example, “peanut butter” would be the statement of identity for a jar of peanut butter.

The ingredient list must be listed in descending order by weight. The ingredients must be recorded by their common or usual names. For example, “sugar” must be listed as an ingredient in a cake mix, even though the scientific name for sugar is “sucrose.”

The net weight must be listed in both English and metric units. The manufacturer’s information must include the name and address of the company, as well as the phone number or website where consumers can find more information about the product.

The FDA’s specific requirements for food labels to help consumers make informed choices about the food they eat. By understanding what information is required on food labels, consumers can be sure that they are getting the information they need to make informed decisions about their food.

Refrigeration:

As we all know, different types of food require different storage temperatures. For example, dairy products need to be stored at a colder temperature than other types of food. This is why it is important to have a label that clearly states the proper storage temperature for your product. Our team of experts can help you create a label that clearly states the appropriate storage temperature for your product so that customers know how to store it properly.

Product Shape:

The shape of your product can also affect the label design. For example, if your product is round, you will want to use a round label. If your product is square, you will want to use a square label.

Backings:

The type of backing that you use for your label can also affect the overall look of your label. For example, if you use a glossy backing, your label will have a shinier look. If you use a matte backing, your label will have a more subdued look.

The environment of a Food Label:

A food label is found on the packaging of most food products. The label provides essential information about the product, including the manufacturer’s name, country of origin, list of ingredients, and nutrition facts.

Most food labels include a “use by” or “best before” date. This date indicates how long the product will be safe to consume. It is important to note that the “use by” date is not necessarily the same as the “expiration” date.

The “use by” date is determined by the manufacturer and is based on factors such as the shelf life of the product and the conditions under which it will be stored. For example, a product with a “use by” date of October 1st can be safely consumed until that date, even if it is stored in a cool, dry place.
