All art work provided must be at least 600dpi built in either Adobe Illustrator (.AI, .EPS), CorelDraw (.CDR), or as a Vector PDF with all font files provided or all text converted to outlines (paths/curves). If unable to provide art work in these formats additional charges may apply.

*NOTE: Section 403(y) of the FFD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 343(y)) requires the label of a dietary supplement being marketed in the United States to include "a domestic address or domestic phone number through which the responsible person ... may receive a report of a serious adverse event with such dietary supplement." If the label does not include the required domestic address or phone number, the dietary supplement is misbranded. A full address or phone number is required.

If You Want To Send Pre-Printed Labels on a Roll - Starting at $125 Per Label:

(Price includes proofing of provided artwork.)

If you would like to send printed labels into our facility for one of the products you have ordered VITALABS MUST PROOF YOUR LABEL DESIGN before accepting for production to make sure label corresponds with all product and FDA requirements. This applies to NEW and REPEAT orders! Do not send labels without having Vitalabs verify and approve the facts panels on repeat orders.

  • FOR NEW & REPEAT ORDERS: We recommend that your printer send us a soft copy of the label to verify that nothing was dropped during the file transfer process and to ensure current compliancy requirements. We will review their copy against your approved file as a free service to you. You must arrange with your printer to send the copy to labelinfo@vitalabs.com for review and specify that they are sending a "Press Proof for Review".

Incoming physical labels will be reviewed against approved label on file AND current formula during incoming inspection. Labels that do not comply MAY BE REJECTED. If there are any formula or FDA changes that necessitate a label change, you are responsible for replacing the labels in our inventory and all associated costs. Labels must be compatible with our production equipment. (#3 Rewind for machine application.)
