Nutrition Facts Labels

Nutrition Facts Labels for Food Manufacturers and Packers

IBC provides nutrition facts label solutions for food manufacturers, processors, co-packers, and packaging operations. Whether you need fully printed nutrition facts labels or a complete system to print labels on demand, IBC can help you choose the right label material, printer, and software for your operation.

Choose preprinted labels for established products and consistent production runs, or print nutrition information in-house when you need flexibility to manage multiple products, label versions, or changing production requirements.

Labels are available in paper and synthetic materials, with direct thermal and thermal transfer printing options to suit different applications.

Nutrition Facts Label Solutions

IBC offers two ways to produce nutrition facts labels, depending on your production volume, product range, and labeling workflow.

Option 1: Fully Printed Nutrition Facts Labels

Order nutrition facts labels printed and ready for application to your packaging. This option is ideal for businesses that want a convenient supply of finished labels without managing label printing in-house.

Benefits:

• Labels supplied ready to apply
• Consistent presentation across production runs
• Custom sizes and label configurations
• Suitable for established products and recurring orders
• Available in paper and synthetic materials

Fully printed labels can be a good choice for high-volume products or operations where nutrition information remains consistent over time.

Option 2: Print Nutrition Facts Labels On Demand

For businesses managing multiple products, changing label information, or shorter production runs, IBC can provide a complete in-house printing solution.

This may include blank labels, a compatible label printer, and software to create and print nutrition facts labels as needed.

Benefits:

• Print labels when production requires them
• Manage multiple product labels using one system
• Reduce reliance on preprinted label inventory
• Support shorter production runs and product changes
• Combine label printing with other product identification needs

IBC can help select a printer, label material, and software workflow based on your label format, print volume, and operational requirements.

Label Material and Printing Options

IBC offers four main combinations to suit different food packaging and labeling applications.

Thermal Transfer Paper Labels

Thermal transfer paper labels use a printer ribbon to transfer print onto the label surface.

Benefits:

• Suitable for detailed text and nutrition information
• Good choice for many standard food packaging applications
• Available in a variety of label sizes and constructions
• Supports on-demand printing with compatible equipment

Best suited for: General-purpose nutrition facts labeling where paper labels meet the packaging and storage requirements.

Direct Thermal Paper Labels

Direct thermal labels use heat-sensitive material, so printing does not require a ribbon.

Benefits:

• No ribbon required
• Simple, convenient on-demand printing
• Fewer consumables to manage
• Suitable for applications where the expected label life and environmental conditions meet direct thermal material requirements

Best suited for: Shorter-term labeling applications where the label is not expected to experience conditions that could cause the print to fade or darken.

Thermal Transfer Synthetic Labels

Synthetic labels printed using thermal transfer technology provide an option for applications requiring a more durable label material.

Benefits:

• Options for improved moisture and handling resistance
• Suitable for selected demanding packaging environments
• Supports detailed printed nutrition information
• Available in compatible synthetic materials and adhesive constructions

Best suited for: Food packaging applications where paper may not provide the desired durability. Material selection should reflect the packaging surface, moisture exposure, temperature, and expected label life.

Direct Thermal Synthetic Labels

Direct thermal synthetic labels combine a heat-sensitive printing surface with a synthetic label material. They allow printing without a ribbon while offering material options beyond standard paper.

Benefits:

• Ribbon-free printing
• Synthetic material options for selected demanding applications
• Convenient on-demand label production
• Suitable for applications where the material and print durability meet operating requirements

Best suited for: Applications needing a ribbon-free printing process and a synthetic label construction. Confirm compatibility with the printer and test the label under actual operating conditions.

Which Nutrition Facts Label Solution Is Right for You?

The right choice depends on production volume, label dimensions, packaging material, storage conditions, and how frequently label information changes.

Nutrition Facts Label Printing Systems

IBC can help you build a complete in-house printing solution, including:

• Blank paper or synthetic labels
• Compatible thermal transfer or direct thermal printers
• Label design and printing software
• Nutrition facts label templates and layouts
• Variable product information where required
• Printer setup and integration support

Software and templates can help simplify label creation, but the accuracy of nutrition information and compliance with applicable labeling regulations remain the responsibility of the food business. Requirements vary by market and product, so label content should be reviewed before production.
