Label and packaging design, from your logo to the printed label

Send the logo you have. We adapt it to the container you choose and write the label text for your market. Design beyond that is quoted separately.

What we do

  • Adapt your logo to each label and box
  • Write the label text for the market where you sell
  • Supply stock bottles, jars, tubes, vials and pumps with no tooling cost
  • Print a one-color label, the setup our starting prices assume

Quoted separately

  • Custom colors for containers, caps or pumps
  • Silk screen or hot stamping
  • Printed boxes
  • Design work beyond adapting your logo

Compare container types, sizes and closures on packaging options.

A vector file if you have one, plus your colors and product names.

Stock options carry no tooling cost. Custom colors and finishes are quoted.

Your logo fitted to the label, with the text your market requires.

4
You approve

Check every word and number on the proof before anything is printed.

Example label layouts

Placeholder layouts in our house style, to show where things usually go. Your artwork is built for your container, product and market.

Dropper bottleExample layout
YOUR BRAND HYDRATING FACE SERUM Net 1.01 fl oz (30 mL)
  • Front: brand, product name and what it is, with the net quantity near the bottom.
  • Back label or box: directions, cautions, ingredients, your name and address, and the country of origin.
Cream jarExample layout
YB YOUR BRAND BARRIER CREAM Net wt 1.7 oz (50 g)
  • Wrap label: brand, product name and net weight. In the US, creams state it in ounces, and metric may be added.
  • Lid: a logo or monogram, on a label or hot stamped (quoted separately).
Squeeze tubeExample layout
LOT 000000 YOUR BRAND GENTLE FOAM CLEANSER Net wt 3.5 oz (100 g)
  • Upright layout for a tube that stands on its cap.
  • Sealed end: room for the lot number and date.
Folding box, flatExample layout
Directions Caution Ingredients Distributed by YOUR BRAND LLC www.example.com Made in Korea LOT / EXP YOUR BRAND YOUR BRAND HYDRATING FACE SERUM Net 1.01 fl oz (30 mL) BACK FRONT
  • Front: brand, product name and net quantity at the bottom, as on the bottle.
  • Back: directions, cautions, ingredients, your name and address, a US contact for adverse event reports where you sell in the US, the country of origin and the barcode at the lower right.
  • Room to spare: a clear spot for the lot number and date. On small bottles, the box can carry the ingredient list, while US warnings still go on the bottle too.
Sheet mask pouchExample layout
YOUR BRAND HYDRATING SHEET MASK 1 sheet Net 0.84 fl oz (25 mL)
  • Front: brand, product name, count and net quantity.
  • Back: directions, cautions, ingredients, your name and address, and the barcode.

Placeholder text and zeros only. For the items each market requires, see label rules for the US, the EU and export cartons. In the US, ingredient letters must be at least 1/16 inch tall, or 1/32 inch on packages with less than 12 square inches of label space, which often decides the container size.

What to send us

  • Your logo as a vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF), or the largest file you have
  • Brand colors (Pantone or HEX codes) and fonts, if you have them
  • Product names and the claims you would like on the label
  • Where you will sell, and the company name and address for the label
  • One barcode number per product and size, from GS1 (see the barcode guide)
  • Photos of labels or products you like, if any

Design add-on

Need more than an adapted logo? For example a new logo or wordmark, a label or box designed from a blank page, or custom illustration.

Design work beyond adapting your logo is quoted separately. Tell us what you need in your brief, and we will tell you the cost with your quote.

Label and design questions

Do I need a designer before I contact a manufacturer?
No. A logo is enough to start. We adapt it to the container you choose and write the label text for your market, and design beyond that is quoted separately.
What file should my logo be?
A vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF) scales cleanly to any label size. If you only have a PNG or JPG, send the largest one you have.
What is included in your starting price?
Our starting prices assume a library formula, a stock container and a one-color label. Custom colors, silk screen or hot stamping and printed boxes are quoted separately, as is design work beyond adapting your logo.
Can I work with my own designer?
Yes, tell us in your brief and ask us how to hand over the files. The label text still has to follow the rules of your market, and we write it for your market.
Can you make printed boxes?
Yes. Printed boxes are quoted separately. A box also gives a small container room for the ingredient list, directions and translations.
