Olive Oil Label Design
Olive oil label design starts with four required parts: the name of the oil, the net contents in fl oz and mL, your name and address, and in most cases Nutrition Facts per 1 tablespoon. Pure olive oil needs no ingredient list and has none of the major allergens. Enter your bottle size and get a vector Nutrition Facts panel that drops straight into your bottle artwork.

What has to be on your olive oil label
Front of the bottle: the name and the net contents. Back of the bottle: the rest. The numbers match the example.
- 1Name of the oil21 CFR 101.3"Olive oil", or the grade if your oil meets it: "Extra virgin olive oil". Blended with sunflower or canola oil? The name has to say it is a blend.
- 2Net contents21 CFR 101.7Oil is a liquid, so fl oz and mL, in the bottom 30% of the front label. A 500 mL bottle is just over a pint, so the pint goes in too.
- 3Nutrition Facts21 CFR 101.9Per 1 tablespoon. Small producers can qualify for an exemption, but shops, delis and online marketplaces often ask for the panel.
- 4Ingredient list (optional)FD&C Act 403(i)Only foods made from two or more ingredients need one. Infuse the oil with herbs, lemon or chili and you list each one.
- 5Allergen statementFALCPAOlive oil is not a major allergen. A dipping oil with sesame seeds or a nut oil blend must say so.
- 6Name and address21 CFR 101.5Who bottled it, with city, state and ZIP. Buying bulk oil and bottling it under your brand? "Bottled for" or "Distributed by" works.

Start from an olive oil label that's already filled in
Plain olive oil is one line. Change the weight to match your bottle and the servings per container follow. Add dried herbs or garlic powder for a seasoned oil and the ingredient list appears.
