What does Label Design cost?
Pre-Designed Labels
Use one of our Pre-designed templates for all your current and future products! For $199.99 we will customize a pre-designed template to match your brand’s current colours. Check out the templates here!
Custom Label Design
Custom Label Design costs will depend on the number of products and the complexity of the design. On average custom labels cost $90 per product. The design fees are a one-time charge for all of your products on this order and on future orders – unless you decide to modify your designs.
Design Your Own Labels
Alternatively, you can supply us with your own designs. Label templates will be provided once your order has been approved.

Can I add barcodes to my labels?
Yes! We also sell barcodes for your labels. You are able to purchase them here.
What art-files create the best label design?
At Cosmetic Labs Canada, we know everyone creates in different ways. That’s why we accept a variety of file formats: For logos, we recommend .PNGs with transparent backgrounds or a packaged Adobe Illustrator file, but we also accept .JPEGs and .SVGs.
For images, please send us high-resolution images. For completed label designs, please send us .PDFs with any fonts used on your labels and embed any images. We also accept packaged .Ai files. (If using any Adobe programs, do not outline paragraphed text.)
What information is required on the label? What is compliance?
We go to the highest measures to ensure your products and their labels meet all requirements and regulations.
When it comes to the label or product descriptions, we (Cosmetic Labs Canada or our customers) cannot claim that the product/formula makes a physical change to the skin, hair or body or affects the structure or function of skin, hair or body (this would be a drug claim). We can only claim that it changes the appearance of the skin and that products are for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance (since these are cosmetic claims).
Our label requirements:
- Product Name
- Fill Quantity
- Directions
- Cautions
- Distribution Information
- Company or Personal Name
- City, Provence & Postal Code
- Email, Website or Phone #
- Ingredients (if not listed on your outer boxing or website)
