Frequently asked questions
UK food labelling regulations require five essential elements: product name and description, ingredients list in descending weight order, allergen declarations clearly highlighted, nutritional information per 100g or 100ml, and producer contact details including business address. Our plastic jar labels can accommodate all these requirements whilst maintaining an attractive presentation that supports your brand positioning.
Beyond the core five requirements, UK food labels must include net quantity declarations, use-by or best-before dates, storage instructions where relevant, country of origin for certain products, and alcohol content for beverages over 1.2% ABV. Our custom printing ensures all mandatory information appears clearly and legibly, supporting your compliance obligations whilst delivering professional presentation that enhances customer confidence.
UK food packaging regulations now incorporate retained EU law with additional UK-specific requirements. Key areas include updated allergen labelling with enhanced visibility requirements, country of origin declarations for certain categories, and specific requirements for imported products. Our materials meet UK food contact standards and our design guidance helps ensure compliance with current regulations whilst maintaining effective brand communication.
The 5/20 rule helps consumers interpret nutritional information: 5% or less daily value is considered low for a nutrient, whilst 20% or more is considered high. This applies particularly to sodium, saturated fat, and sugar content evaluation. When designing nutritional labels, we ensure this information displays clearly with appropriate sizing and contrast, helping your customers make informed choices whilst maintaining your product's visual appeal.
