What are custom nutrition labels?
Custom nutrition labels are pressure-sensitive adhesive labels printed with the calorie breakdown, macronutrient percentages, vitamin footnotes, ingredient declarations and allergen lines required on packaged foods and beverages. Growing food makers, commercial bakeries, cold-pressed juicers and snack brands use them to turn blank stand-up pouches, glass jars, plastic clamshells and imported cartons into retail-ready SKUs without pre-printing separate bags for every recipe. Depending on the flat area available on your container, your layout can use a tall vertical box, a wide horizontal tabular grid for shallow jars, or a compact linear format for miniature wrappers. Customers supply their own Nutrition Facts panel and ingredient text, and we check print legibility, rule thickness and barcode contrast on the proof. At CubitPack, custom nutrition labels start at 500 pieces and ship in 10 to 14 business days.

What are the most common custom nutrition label mistakes?
Nutrition panels pack 6 pt type, thin rules and barcodes into a tight space. Avoid these five errors. When specifying branded nutrition labels, wholesale nutrition labels, bulk custom nutrition labels, personalized nutrition labels and custom size nutrition labels, avoid these common production mistakes
- Setting small nutrient text and 0.5 pt hairlines in 4-color CMYK rich black instead of 100% K black.
- Forcing a tall 3.5 in vertical panel onto a short jar where the top edge hits the shoulder curve.
- Supplying a low-resolution 72 DPI screenshot instead of crisp vector outlines or 300+ DPI artwork.
- Relabeling over an existing printed panel with standard paper instead of opaque cover-up blockout stock.
- Cropping the white quiet zone off the left and right edges of the UPC barcode.

Do you generate the calorie numbers or verify FDA compliance?
No. Customers supply their nutrition panel or state warning text and we check print legibility on the proof. We do not provide lab analysis or legal compliance sign-off, and we print the exact panel you approve.
What size sticker do I need for a vertical Nutrition Facts panel?
A standalone vertical Nutrition Facts box usually measures 1.75 × 3.0 inches to 2.0 × 3.5 inches. Combining Nutrition Facts, ingredients, allergens, distributor address and a UPC barcode on one pouch back sticker typically takes 2.25 × 3.75 inches or 3.0 × 4.0 inches.
When should I use a tabular or linear nutrition layout?
Use a tabular horizontal layout (around 3.5 × 1.75 inches) on short jars like salsa, nut butter or honey where the straight wall is under 2 inches tall. Use a compact linear string layout (around 2.25 × 1.25 inches) on small single-serve bars or cookies.
How do you keep 6 pt nutrition text and hairlines sharp?
Small black text blurs when artwork is built in four-color CMYK rich black because four plates must align on tiny letters. Set all nutrition text, borders, 0.5 pt hairlines and barcode bars in 100% K (black only) on a solid white background using vector artwork.
Can I order opaque labels to cover an old or imported panel?
Yes. When relabeling imported food cartons or updating pre-printed pouches after a recipe change, ask for an opaque cover-up stock in the quote notes. The barrier backing blocks old text and barcodes underneath.
Should I choose matte or gloss finish for nutrition labels?
Matte finish is preferred for back-panel nutrition and barcode labels because its low-glare surface makes 6 pt to 8 pt type easy to read and stops store lights from reflecting into barcode scanners. Gloss works well on full-wrap drink or sauce labels.
Can I combine multiple flavors in a single 500-label order?
Yes. In Step 2 of the quote form, select 2 designs or 3+ designs and list how many flavors and labels per SKU you need in the notes. Keeping every flavor on the exact same width × height lets us quote your set together.
Will these labels stay stuck on refrigerated or frozen containers?
Tell us in the quote notes whether your containers are labeled at room temperature and then chilled, or labeled in a cold room, and whether they face moisture or oils. We match the stock and adhesive.
Can we stamp or thermal-print best-by dates onto the label?
Yes. Ask our design team to reserve an open white box for your lot code and expiration date.
How long does production take and what is the minimum order?
Our minimum is 500 labels, with trial runs considered case by case. Production takes 10 to 14 business days after you approve your proof and 3D mockup and pay, or 4 to 5 business days with rush. US shipping is free.
