Applications
Custom food labels have three jobs: survive the conditions your product lives in, carry a Nutrition Facts panel laid out to current FDA rules, and hold your brand color from the first roll to the ten-thousandth. We print them for packaged-goods brands at every stage, whether that means a first test batch or a national retail run. One G7® Master Certified team in Naperville, Illinois handles your food label printing from prepress through finishing, and that team knows your brand by name.

Materials and adhesives for real food environments
A label that looks perfect on the proof can still fail in a cooler, a freezer, or a humid warehouse. The substrate and adhesive matter as much as the artwork, so we match the material to where the product lives: coated white papers for dry and shelf-stable goods, and durable film labels with cold-temperature, moisture-ready adhesives for refrigerated and frozen items, condensation, and wash-down conditions. Wherever the product ends up, the label keeps its adhesion and its appearance from the production line through distribution and onto the shelf.
Color that stays on brand
Food buyers recognize brands by color before they read a word. On G7® Master Certified presses, the red on your first short run is the same red on your national reorder, across products, formats, and years. That consistency lets an emerging line look established the moment it lands on the shelf next to legacy competitors.
Built for FDA food-labeling compliance
Packaged food carries more regulatory weight than almost any other label category, and getting a required element wrong can hold up a retail launch. White Graphics lays each of these out to spec, so the artwork that reaches your buyer or reviewer is already print-ready:
- Statement of identity: the common name of the food, on the principal display panel.
- Net quantity of contents: accurate net weight or volume, placed in the lower portion of the front panel.
- Ingredient list: every ingredient in descending order by weight, using common or usual names.
- Nutrition Facts panel: built in the current FDA format, with updated serving sizes, calorie emphasis, and the added-sugars line.
- Allergen declaration: a clear “Contains” statement covering the major allergens, including sesame under the FASTER Act.
If your panel data hasn’t left the spreadsheet yet, our prepress team can build the Nutrition Facts block from your formulation, position it correctly on the information panel, and flag anything that looks off before it goes to press. For products sold at retail, we can also place your UPC barcode and verify it scans. The full requirements live in the FDA’s Food Labeling Guide; we build the label from your approved copy while your regulatory advisor confirms compliance.
Any container, any product
Food comes in every shape, and the label has to wrap, curve, and seal cleanly on each one. We print pressure-sensitive food labels for glass and PET jars, bottles, tubs and deli containers, stand-up pouches, folding cartons, and squeeze tubes. The products range just as widely: jams and spreads, sauces and dressings, honey, cold-brew and bottled beverages, spices, snacks, baked goods, and specialty and gourmet lines. Browse the full label catalog, or see related categories such as nutrition facts labels, supplement labels, honey & jar labels, and fit-engineered bottle labels for sauces and dressings.
Setting up food label artwork
Good print starts with a good file. For food labels that means bleed on every edge, required copy held inside a safe zone, a die line taken from the real container, and vector artwork (PDF, AI, or EPS) built in CMYK at 300 dpi. Bring that and we run it. Bring less and our prepress team preps the art, sets the die, and builds the Nutrition Facts panel with you, walking through material selection and panel placement until the file is right.
How your food labels get made
Quote first, then prepress: our team color-manages and GMG-proofs your artwork so you approve the exact color before anything runs. Printing happens on our G7® Master Certified digital press on white BOPP film, semi-gloss and matte papers, or kraft, your pick. After that come lamination, die-cutting on a die drawn to your container rather than a generic template, and winding to your applicator’s spec.
Food label FAQs
Do you print the Nutrition Facts panel and allergen information?
We do. The Nutrition Facts panel goes out in the current FDA format, along with the ingredient list, allergen “Contains” statement, and net-weight declaration. If you only have the raw data, our prepress team can build the panel for you.
Are the labels refrigerator and freezer safe?
They can be. We select substrates and adhesives engineered for refrigerated, frozen, and moisture-heavy environments so labels keep their adhesion and appearance through the full distribution and retail cycle. Tell us the storage conditions and we’ll spec the right material.
What information is required on a food label?
FDA rules require a statement of identity, an accurate net-quantity declaration, an ingredient list in descending order by weight, a Nutrition Facts panel, and an allergen declaration. Products sold at retail also need a scannable UPC barcode. We can lay out all of these correctly for your package.
Can you do short runs for a new product or test market?
We can. Quantities are sized to emerging brands and test markets, and the same setup scales to full production volumes with consistent quality at every run length.
What sizes and shapes can you print?
Common sizes from small 2″ × 2″ jar labels to 4″ × 6″ panels and full wraps, in rectangle, square, rounded-corner, circle, oval, or a custom die-cut shape matched to your container.
Can you match my exact brand colors?
Yes. Our presses are G7® Master Certified, so your brand color reproduces the same on your first short run and on every national reorder.
What file format do you need for food label artwork?
Vector artwork in PDF, AI, or EPS: CMYK, 300 dpi, bleed, die line, panel as live type. Bring less and the prepress team closes the gaps with you.
