Custom Nutraceutical Labels for FDA-Compliant Supplement Bottles
Labels built for the supplement aisle: precise Supplement Facts panels printed at 4-6pt high-density text, moisture-resistant white BOPP that survives bathroom cabinets, and layouts engineered for FDA structure/function claim compliance.
** Daily Value not established.
Nutraceutical labels must balance FDA Supplement Facts compliance with dense ingredient text in a small space — and survive the humidity of a bathroom cabinet. White BOPP with 4-6pt high-density printing and a dedicated Supplement Facts panel is the industry standard.
Six Reasons Supplement Brands Choose Our Nutraceutical Labels
FDA-Compliant Layout
Supplement Facts panel space reserved per FDA layout rules — serving size, servings per container, ingredient amounts, and % Daily Value column.
4-6pt Text Density
High-density, high-contrast printing holds ingredient names and amounts readable at 4-6pt — verified by magnification test on every SKU.
Bathroom Moisture-Proof
White BOPP with protective laminate survives repeated humidity cycles in bathroom cabinets, gym bags, and shower-adjacent storage.
Multi-SKU Templates
Template-based production lets you run 20 formulations with shared branding but different Supplement Facts — one artwork master, variable data.
Claim Compliance Space
Reserved label zones for FDA structure/function disclaimer and allergen warnings — so your claim review never breaks the layout.
Tamper-Evident Match
Pair primary bottle label with matching neck seals or shrink bands — same material, same print quality, same brand color consistency.
The Three Compliance Layers Every Supplement Label Must Pass
FDA Supplement Facts compliance is not one rule — it is three interlocking layers. Master all three or your label fails review. Here is the atlas we use to design every nutraceutical label before a single one prints.
FDA mandates six information zones on every dietary supplement label. Missing any one of these triggers regulatory review — we design each zone into the artwork from the start.
Not every printer can hold readable type below 8pt. We test three density tiers on every nutraceutical run — the 4-6pt tier is what separates supplement-grade printers from commodity labels.
The FDA draws a bright line between allowed structure/function claims and prohibited disease claims. We design label space for the FDA disclaimer — but brands are responsible for claim language. Here is where the line sits.
"Cures the common cold."
Direct disease claim — FDA enforcement action risk.
"Boosts immunity during flu season."
Implied disease claim — rephrase to reduce risk.
"Supports immune health." + FDA disclaimer.
Structure/function claim — must include FDA disclaimer.

Frozen Supplement Formats
Standard BOPP adhesive may fail on frozen supplement formats.
Hot-Fill Liquids

What is required on a nutraceutical label?
Nutraceutical labels must include a Supplement Facts panel with serving size, servings per container, and ingredient amounts. Additional requirements include product name, net quantity, ingredient list, manufacturer/distributor name and address, and any required allergen warnings. Health claims must comply with FDA guidelines. We design labels with dedicated Supplement Facts panel space.
What material is best for nutraceutical labels?
White BOPP is the most popular material because it provides excellent print quality for dense Supplement Facts text, resists moisture from bathroom cabinets, and maintains adhesion on plastic and glass bottles. For premium brands, white PET offers superior durability. Coated paper is a cost-effective option for dry supplement bottles.
Can nutraceutical labels make health claims?
The FDA strictly regulates health claims. Structure/function claims (e.g., "supports immune health") are permitted with the FDA disclaimer. Disease claims are generally prohibited. Brands are responsible for claim compliance; we print exactly what you provide.
How small can text be on nutraceutical labels?
The FDA requires certain information at minimum 6pt font. The Supplement Facts panel can use smaller text for dense ingredient lists. We specialize in high-density text printing at 4-6pt font with high-contrast inks for readability while fitting all required information.
Do nutraceutical labels need tamper-evident seals?
Many nutraceutical products include tamper-evident seals for consumer safety and regulatory compliance. We can produce both the primary bottle label and matching tamper-evident neck seals or shrink bands. The seal should clearly show evidence of interference if opened before purchase.
