How to Print Your Labels & Choose the Right Printer

Learn how to print nutrition labels correctly, choose the right printer, and ensure FDA compliance.

Printing your nutrition labels is simple with Food Label Maker. Follow these steps to ensure your labels are clear, accurate, and compliant.

🖨️ How to Print Your Labels

  1. Download & Save – Once your label is ready, download and save it to your computer. Supported file formats include:

    • PDF

    • PNG

    • BMP

    • SVG

  2. Open the File – Use a printing program like Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Publisher.

  3. Set Up Your Page – Adjust the page size and orientation to match your label’s dimensions.

  4. Print Using a Label Printer – Use a label printer for best results.

💡 Pro Tip: The FDA has specific labeling requirements, including minimum font sizes, label dimensions, and content placement. Before printing, review these requirements to ensure compliance. ⚠️ Bulk Printing Limitations: Food Label Maker currently does not support bulk printing directly. To print multiple labels, download each label individually and use your printer’s standard workflow to manage printing.

Which Printer Should I Use?

  • For Standard Paper Labels: Use a laser or inkjet printer with Avery or compatible label sheets.

  • For Waterproof Labels: Try thermal transfer label printers like the Zebra ZD420 for durable, smudge-free results.

  • For Direct-to-Package Printing: Some businesses use high-speed industrial label printers for on-demand printing.
