Label, packaging and print design
Will it print right? That’s the real question, so here are five plain facts before any prices.
Before you order
We deliver files, never printed goods.
Printing, proofs and shipping are billed by your printer, not by us. Colors can look different on screen and on press, so order a printer’s proof before a full run.
Your printer’s dieline comes first.
We fit the design to their template, not a guess.
You supply the label text.
Ingredients, nutrition panels, allergen statements, barcodes and any health, organic or other claims. We place and format what you give us; we don’t review it for accuracy or legal compliance. You, or your regulatory advisor, confirm that your label meets the rules for your product before it’s printed.
Proofs and press checks are with your printer.
We can answer their questions about the files.
We don’t promise FDA compliance.
Not for food, not for anything else. We may decline products with their own rules, such as supplements, alcohol or cannabis.
Labels and packaging
Got one label and want more flavors? Variants are cheaper than starting over, but they need a label we designed.

Quick glossary
- Dieline
- The printer’s flat outline of the package, showing cuts, folds and glue tabs.
- Bleed
- Color that runs 1/8 inch past the trim line, so a slightly off cut doesn’t leave a white edge.
- CMYK vs Pantone
- CMYK builds color from four inks. Pantone is a mixed ink matched to a number. We send the spec for both.
