Making Custom Supplement Labels Work for Your Business

Consumers today use supplements to either gain nutrients not received through their daily diet or to boost overall health. As this trend continues, producers must find innovative ways to reach their customer base and get ahead of their competitors. One approach has been to design custom supplement labels. This market has become extremely competitive; however, tailored designs aid in increasing sales by getting the product noticed by potential customers.

Custom supplement labels help a product to get noticed among busy shoppers as they run through the motions of their day. Whether the product is a vitamin water or in pill form, an attention-grabbing label enhances the chance of a sale. Since labels come in a variety of shapes and sizes, these will be the first decisions to be made when having a professional create them for your product.

Style, size, and quantity are just the beginning of your choices for custom supplement labels. After making these decisions, you will need to evaluate the materials used to make them, the inks/graphics, and the process for creating them. Choosing a distinctive material over the common selections offers increased presence on the consumer shelf. Here are additional ways to get more attention than the other guy:

A majority of labels use white or colored paper combined with an adhesive and finish. However, several specialty choices are also available including a variety of films. Foil may be used to create the whole label or to accent portions of one. Another option could be using a gloss or matte laminate to make the label unique. With custom designs, there are no limits and you have a whole landscape to work with!

There is no wrong approach when creating a custom supplement label; however, not every design is created equally. For example, improper use of space, the wrong colors, or an inability to provide the required information takes away from the product. Sometimes it takes just a second viewing something from the eyes of a consumer to determine if the design is good. The typical consumer wants to get the information quickly and make a decision. If the information is not easy to see or difficult to process, they will move on.

A good example of this is complex fonts and graphics, because they are sometimes difficult to read. Some fonts or graphics simply distract from the product and take away from the message. Color combinations work much the same as fonts, as they must be visually appealing and add to the message. If they do not go well together, then the custom supplement label appears too busy to the consumer. This will result in them moving onto another product
