Health and nutrition labels for both paths – Nutrition Facts or Supplement Facts built to its own FDA format, with gym-proof tub materials.

Color Accuracy Guaranteed
A wellness brand launching its first protein powder hits a question most founders don’t see coming: is this product a conventional food or a dietary supplement? It can be either, and the answer decides whether the panel says Nutrition Facts or Supplement Facts, what claims are available, and how reviewers read the whole label. We print custom health and nutrition labels for protein, functional-food, and wellness brands on both sides of that line. Nutrition label printing at our Naperville, Illinois shop builds either path correctly, G7® Master Certified color included.
Nutrition label sizes for tubs, pouches, and bars
Tubs, pouches, and RTD bottles each set their own die; no one-size chart covers this category. We craft wide wraps for 1–5 lb powder tubs, faces for single-serve pouches and stick packs, panels for RTD bottles, and compact labels for bar boxes.
Shapes
Full tub wraps, front-and-back sets, pouch rectangles, and custom shapes where the brand calls for one.
Materials
Durable white films that resist powder dust, shaker splash, and daily gym handling.
Finishes
Gloss for performance-aisle punch, matte for clean-wellness positioning, laminated either way.
Formats
Rolls for co-packer filling lines; singles for founder-scale batches.
Five-pound tubs are big real estate. The wrap is a billboard, and we’ll help you use all of it.
Powder dust is an adhesive problem
Protein packaging fights its own product: fine powder coats tub threads and rims at filling, and labels applied over dust never bond right. Add shaker-bottle splash and gym-bag abrasion after purchase, and the build matters. The answer covers all of it: high-tack adhesives specified for dusty application, sealed film faces, and laminates that keep macro panels legible through months of daily scoops.
A performance wall with disciplined color
Sports nutrition shelves are flavor walls (chocolate browns, vanilla creams, berry brights) hung on one brand system. Run on G7® Master Certified presses, flavor accents and shared brand elements stay identical across every SKU, size, and reorder, so the whole wall reads as one brand.
One powder, two possible labels
The same protein powder can be marketed as a conventional food or a dietary supplement, and everything on the label follows from that choice. We build whichever path your team has chosen:
- The panel fork: food path carries Nutrition Facts; supplement path carries Supplement Facts, with different serving-size logic, nutrient listings, and formatting rules.
- Identity follows the path: supplements say “dietary supplement” on the front; foods take conventional names.
- Claims live differently: structure/function claims on the supplement path carry the FDA disclaimer; nutrient-content claims like “20g protein” follow food-claim definitions. We set what your path permits and flag what it doesn’t.
- Allergens either way: whey, soy, egg, tree nuts, and peanut flours dominate the category; the Contains line covers your formula.
- Adverse-event contact: supplement-path labels carry the contact line; food-path labels don’t need it.
- Sibling categories: when the product is squarely a supplement, our supplement label and vitamin label pages cover those builds in depth.
Which path your product takes is a positioning and regulatory decision your advisor owns; the FDA’s supplement labeling guide frames the supplement side. We lay out either label to its own rulebook.
Across the performance aisle
We print pressure-sensitive health and nutrition labels for protein powders and RTDs, pre-workouts, meal replacements, functional foods, electrolyte mixes, and wellness lines.

Tub artwork with the panel done right
Tub art starts with the wall: the die comes off the tub’s real straight section, the facts panel (whichever one your path requires) stays inside a safe zone as live vector type, and the file arrives as PDF, AI, or EPS in CMYK at 300 dpi with bleed. Panels exported from formulation software as images blur on press; prepress rebuilds them as clean type.
Tub-scale production for performance lines
Nutrition runs settle the panel question in prepress (Nutrition Facts or Supplement Facts, rebuilt as vectors either way), then move to a GMG proof on the flavor palette and a G7®-disciplined press run on dust-tolerant film with gym-rated lamination. Dies for wide tub wraps follow the tub’s straight wall, and full flavor lineups run together, each SKU in its own count.
Health & nutrition label FAQs
Does my protein powder use Nutrition Facts or Supplement Facts?
Either one, depending on whether it’s positioned as a conventional food or a dietary supplement. That decision belongs to your team and advisor; we build the correct panel for whichever path you’ve chosen.
Can my label say “supports muscle recovery”?
On the supplement path, structure/function claims like that carry the FDA disclaimer; on the food path the claim toolbox is different. We typeset the claims your path permits and flag any that belong to the other one.
How do you handle “20g protein” front-panel claims?
As nutrient-content claims with defined rules. The number must match the panel, and we set both consistently.
Will the label survive shaker bottles and gym bags?
It will. Sealed films, dust-tolerant adhesives, and abrasion-rated laminates are the category build.
What allergens dominate this category?
Whey and casein (milk), soy, egg, peanut, and tree-nut flours. Whatever your formula includes, the Contains line covers it plainly.
Can flavors and sizes run together?
They can. The whole line runs on shared setups, each flavor and tub size in its own quantity, one color standard throughout.
What file format works for nutrition label artwork?
AI, EPS, or PDF vector at 300 dpi in CMYK, bleed on, tub dies drawn from the straight wall, facts panel as live type. Formulation-software exports get rebuilt clean.
