Supplement Label Design

Supplement label design is your brand on the bottle plus a Supplement Facts panel the FDA dictates line by line. We build the panel from your formula, with the Other ingredients and Contains lines right under it, and give it to you as a vector SVG and an actual-size PDF. Your designer places it, and your bottle is ready for the printer.

On the bottle

What goes where in a dietary supplement label design

The same package rules as food, plus a few that only supplements have.

01The word "supplement" on the frontThe product name says "dietary supplement". You may swap "dietary" for the ingredient or the type, like "Magnesium supplement" or "Herbal supplement with vitamins".21 CFR 101.3(g)
02Net quantity on the frontHow many capsules, gummies or grams are inside, as a distinct item in the bottom 30% of the front panel.21 CFR 101.7(a), (f)
03Supplement Facts on the sideOn the information panel, directly to the right of the front, or on the front itself.21 CFR 101.2(a), (b)
04Other ingredients right belowDirectly under the Supplement Facts, or right beside it when there is no room below. It reads "Other ingredients" when sources are named inside the panel.21 CFR 101.4(g)
05Name and place of businessThe maker, packer or distributor, with "Manufactured for" or "Distributed by" when someone else makes it for you.21 CFR 101.5
06A US contact for adverse eventsA domestic address or phone number where people can report a serious adverse event.FD&C Act 403(y)
Claims

A structure/function claim needs a disclaimer you add

Put "supports restful sleep" or "supports healthy joints" on the bottle and the FDA disclaimer has to go with it. Our tool does not add it for you: your designer sets it next to the claim.

The textExact wording"This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease." With more than one claim, it starts "These statements have not been evaluated".21 CFR 101.93(c)FDA Supplement Disclaimer →
Bold, 1/16 inType sizeBold type, with letters at least one-sixteenth of an inch high.21 CFR 101.93(e)
Next to it, or *PlacementRight beside the claim with nothing in between, or linked to it by a symbol such as an asterisk. When it isn't beside the claim, set it in a box. It appears on every panel that carries a claim.21 CFR 101.93(d)
30 daysTell the FDANotify the FDA no later than 30 days after you first market a product with the claim.21 CFR 101.93(a)(1)
No disease claimsStay on the structure sideA claim to treat, cure or prevent a disease makes the product a drug in the FDA's eyes, unless it is an authorized health claim the product qualifies for.21 CFR 101.93(f), (g)
