In the fast growing dietary supplement industry, esthetic appeal of your label and its functionality are key.


From vitamins to herbal remedies, to sports powders and functional beverages, supplement products have one goal in common: to promote health.


To reach the broadest customer base and meet regulatory requirements, you need a high quality label printed by a company with experience in the industry. Dion Label Printing has the know-how and skills to print all types of supplement labels to help you help your customers be their best selves.

MATERIAL SELECTION

 

You want a material that will be sturdy enough to resist peeling or tearing while your product is in use. You also want the amazing design you’ve chosen to represent your brand and products to be vibrant and appealing. And because you are, after all, a business, the cost of the material matters to you.

 

So how do you reconcile the different goals you want to accomplish with your label, and how do you know which material will work for you? The experts at Dion are here to break down some popular material options for supplement labels and some of the key benefits of each.

 

FILM (AKA BOPP) – RUGGED, VERSATILE, DESIGN OPTIONS

 

Films are probably the most versatile label material option, and the most popular among supplement brands, and for good reason! BOPP has a unique set of characteristics that make it optimal for a huge variety of applications. It is a sturdy, fatigue and moisture resistant material, so if your product will be handled frequently or exposed to moisture or temperature changes, BOPP provides the ruggedness you need. We offer BOPP in white, metallic, and clear options.

PAPER – COST-EFFECTIVE, STRAIGHTFORWARD, OPTIONS

Typically, the most cost-effective and simple labeling material, a paper label has plenty of uses for supplement products. If your product is not going to be subjected to environmental stresses such as moisture and your primary concern is straightforwardness and cost, a paper label may be just what you’re looking for. Paper is a great option for pill and capsule products. As with BOPP, we offer several different paper material options other than just white, including metallic options.


SUSTAINABLE OPTIONS – ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, certified sustainable, POST-CONSUMER WASTE

 

At Dion, we have worked over the last several years to provide more sustainable options for the brands we partner with. Many of our materials are certified sustainable. And it’s not just our basic paper materials that have met this certification: some of our textured linen and estate options are certified sustainable too!

 

We also offer labels made from different amounts of post-consumer waste, including 100% post-consumer waste material. While some sustainable label material options do have an increased cost associated with them, having less of a negative impact on the environment and having more of a positive impact on potential customers may make these labels worth it for your brand.

EXTENDED CONTENT LABELS


Extended Content Labels, also known as ECLs and Expanded Content Labels, are extremely effective tools for supplement companies. While traditional labels are printed on one side of a piece of material, ECLs will give you more space for a wide variety of information and can free space up on the front of your label for branding and essential product information.

 

With so much regulatory information to include, as well as design considerations to make your label as attractive as possible in this competitive and growing industry, extended content labels are an excellent solution for supplement manufacturers.

 

Dion Label Printing offers a variety of extended content labels, which we break down below.

TYPES OF EXTENDED CONTENT LABELS


WRAPAROUND LABELS

Wraparound labels offer 720 degrees of print space for your label. They provide more real estate for print without the extra panels associated with booklet labels. As their name suggests, these labels wrap around a vessel twice; once a customer has peeled the label back, we use our read and re-apply construction so they can be neatly closed again.

 

Wraparound labels are sometimes referred to as vial labels because they are an ideal option for products in smaller containers. Some of the common vessel sizes we print wraparound labels for are 4mL, 10mL, and 15mL. We can print these labels on white or silver material.

PEEL BACK LABELS

Peel back labels, also called two-sided or double-sided labels, are an extended content label type used for additional printed information on the back side of a label.


Peel back labels have information printed on both sides with a read and re-apply label construction. The label can be peeled back from the container to reveal additional information and then re-applied as if it was never disturbed. Peel back labels are an easy open and re-sealable option that provide a complete solution to additional space requirements without excess packaging.



BOOKLET LABELS

Booklet labels, also known as hinged labels or commonly referred to simply as ECLs, are labels that use a hinged design with one or more extra panels to increase the amount of printable space available for information, while the amount of surface space the label takes up in the container remains the same.


Generally speaking, booklet labels provide more extra printable space than peel back labels, which use only the back side of the label for additional information.


Booklet labels use a read and re-apply label construction that allows the interior panel or panels of the label to be viewed, then resealed. These labels are ideal for extended drug facts, additional languages, directions, and much more.

GMI CERTIFIED PRINTING


Dion Label Printing is proud to be the first Graphic Measures International (GMI) Certified printer in the country for both digital and flexographic label printing since March 2014.


The certification helps measure color standards through the label printing process while at the facility, and also provides control on retail shelves to ensure uniformity. GMI provides large name brands, such as Walgreens and Target, with global packaging consistency.


WHAT DOES OUR GMI CERTIFICATION MEAN FOR YOU?


Along with guaranteed color consistency, our GMI Certification assures you of predictable packaging results that help maintain brand identity. When such a large percentage of consumer buying choices are made based on quick packaging judgements, especially color, it’s hard to overvalue the importance of printing your labels with a company that will get your colors right, every time.

SEE WHAT OUR VALUED PARTNER VIBRANT HEALTH SAYS ABOUT OUR PRINT COLOR:

When it comes to color, accuracy and consistency is critical to our brand. We are known for our vibrant colors and Dion worked with us to establish our color standards allowing us to print both flexo and digital while maintaining that consistency. While color consistency was our priority when we began our relationship with Dion, the exceptional service and attention to every aspect of our orders is invaluable to our business.
