Labels for pet food

Your own pet food label individually printed

We love pets! The pet food industry is booming and competition in the market is growing. So the design of your packaging is becoming increasingly important, even for pet food. Attractively designed packaging and labels distinguish your product from the competition and convince your customer at first sight. On this page, you can see which label materials are suitable for a pet food label, what requirements such a label must meet and what design options you have.

At unieketiket.nl, you can first choose between self-adhesive labels on rolls and on sheets, depending on the type of packaging for which you need your pet supplies label. Our roll labels are permanently self-adhesive as standard, so they stick to almost any surface and packaging. Do you want the label to be easily removable again without leaving any residue? No problem: at unieketiket.nl you can also get removable labels and wash-off labels. Whether you want to apply the label to the product by machine or by hand also affects the choice of the right label. If you apply the label to the product by hand, our practical labels on sheets are particularly suitable.

Of course, you can also use all of our finishing options for a pet food label. Whether it is hot foil stamping, embossing or a protective varnish in matt or gloss – there are no limits to your creativity at unieketiket.nl, your specialized label printing company.

Required information on pet food labels

Labels for pet food must comply with the “General Conditions for Labeling Animal Food” of the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority. These conditions specify what information must appear on the label. This information is mandatory:

• The origin and composition of the food must be clearly stated: what the food contains and what type of animal it is intended for. Furthermore, you must not make claims on the label that you (and the food) cannot live up to.
• The mandatory information must be clearly visible on the label and the label must be stuck in a conspicuous place on the package.
• The label and any information on it must not be removable.
• Text on the label must be in the official language of the country where the product will be sold. Text must be legible (no small print).
• If you sell pet food online, you must also include all the mandatory information that is on the label on your website with that product.
• If you import animal food to then sell to consumers, the food must comply with European labeling legislation.
• Mandatory label information must also be included with unpackaged pet food that is sold in bulk, for example, or custom-mixed and weighed. The information can be provided in a separate document or on the delivery note.
