Label formats
Every format the FDA allows, ready to print
The 2016 FDA rules define specific label formats for different package sizes and product types. NutriLabels generates all of them, pixel-accurate to the regulation’s typography specs. Below are real labels produced by our engine.
Standard Vertical
The default for most retail packages with room for a full panel.
Tabular
Sideways layout for packages under 40 in² or with limited height.
Linear
A single flowing line for very small packages like packets and sticks.
Dual Column
Per-serving and per-container columns, required for many 2 to 3 serving packages.
Simplified
Shortened panel when 8+ nutrients are present in insignificant amounts.
Bilingual (EN/ES)
English and Spanish on one compliant panel.

The format picks itself
Format eligibility depends on your package size and servings per container. Our serving-size wizard finds your FDA reference amount, and the built-in compliance check flags when a single-serving declaration or a dual-column panel is required, so the right format is never a guess. Or just ask us.
