Top-Notch Labels for Your Household and Consumer Goods
Household and consumer goods, such as cleaning products, supplies and air fresheners, need labels that stand out on shelf, comply with the law and stand up to frequent handling at home. Consumers rely on these labels to understand what your product is, why they need it, and how to use it, so it’s imperative to have necessary information front and center, along with any warnings or directions. To get the best legibility and label quality, you’ll want to hire a professional printing vendor with digital printing and advanced coating capabilities.
What’s on a Household or Consumer Good Label?
Household and consumer product labels tend to be highly regulated. Different products will have different label requirements depending on product type, ingredients and usage, so it’s important to check with the FHSA and FPLA before you finalize your label designs and begin the printing process. In addition to your brand name, items that need to be on your labels may include: net contents, commodity identity, and manufacturer/distributor name and place of business. Cleaning products, any chemical products, and products sold in states like California will likely have more warnings, which will need to be formatted and colored in a specific way for compliance. You’ll also want a scannable bar code if you want to easily track inventory.
Household and Consumer Good Label Styles, Materials and Techniques
Perhaps the most important thing to consider for your product is adhesive style. You’ll want your label to stay on your product and not shift, fall off or disintegrate within the product’s lifetime. Ask a label vendor to help you explore different varnish, laminate, top coating and substrate options to ensure your labels are moisture, chemical and/or UV-resistant, pressure-sensitive, and durable. While paper is still used by alternative brands, most labels in this category are films and shrink materials because of their exceptional durability. Glossy finishes and polypropylene are popular for sleek, no-label look. If you need to fit a lot of required information on your labels, consider an Expanded Content Label (ECL), a booklet-like label that is affixed to your product and unfolds to reveal more information. Customers often want household and consumer good products to look display-worthy, and base their buying decisions on aesthetic appeal. Consider bright colors and UV inks as well as clean, minimal designs to help attract more attention on shelf.High-Quality, Variable Data Labels for Household and Consumer Goods

Digital label printing gives you the ultimate flexibility with a nearly unlimited spectrum of colors, 100% perfect print quality, and no printing plates or setup charges.
