Label Templates

The FDA requires this information on your labels:

1. Ingredient lists: present ingredients exactly as listed by Sjolie, Inc. The order must not change, and nothing may be added or removed.
2. Shelf life: show it with the PAO (period after opening) symbol.
3. Fill quantity: clearly state the size of the contents (e.g. 1 fl oz / 30 ml).
4. Directions: use Sjolie's directions or rephrase them for your product. See the downloads below.
5. Distribution information: your company or personal name, city, state and zip code, and contact details such as phone, email and website.

Barcodes help with scanning and inventory, and each one is unique to your product and company, so Sjolie does not provide barcodes for white-label products. If you want barcodes on your labels, get them from a third-party source.

We accept .AI (Adobe Illustrator) and .PSD (Photoshop) files. Platforms like Canva may not produce designs suitable for professional printing. In Photoshop, create files at 300 DPI: higher resolutions won't improve print quality, but lower ones can disappoint.

Overlap: full-wrap labels need room to overlap. Keep readable text away from the edges and allow a 1/2 inch overlap.

Unwind direction: labels should unwind left side first; labels unwinding from the right may hide important information.

Bleed lines: allow a 1/16" clear space inside the final artwork for the bleed area, excluding the background color or pattern.

Color format: we print digitally without metallic inks, so design and submit all files in CMYK, not RGB, to prevent color shifts.

Fonts: outline or flatten all fonts before submitting.

Product descriptions, instructions for use and other label content can be tailored to your preferences; Sjolie doesn't prescribe a format. Instructions for use cannot be left out under FDA and labeling regulations.

Ingredient lists must always appear accurately on your labels. The order can't be changed and they can't be omitted. Sjolie may update ingredient lists without notice, so check this site regularly for updates.

When you're happy with your artwork, it's ready to print. Labels printed by Sjolie go through an approval process first: email your final, print-ready designs to pl@sjolieinc.com. If you print with a third party, check their requirements. Before you submit:

1. Remove templates and rulers: send the artwork exactly as it should print, without template guides and lines.
2. Proofread: we check sizing and FDA requirements but don't proofread, so check your text carefully.
3. Outline fonts and embed images: no live fonts or linked images. Embed images at 300 DPI at print size.
4. Name your files: e.g. "Tan Extend 8oz", so each design is easy to identify.
