Holographic and metallic finishes for shelf standout. Batch and expiry print inline as variable data, and the high-contrast information panels survive the gym bag.
The labels we print for this sector, the stocks they run on and the finishes that suit them, so you know what to ask for.
We print for UK health & performance brands, including preworkout startups pitching into gym retail and clinical-grade supplement brands. The labels have to survive the gym bag and the cold store and still read clearly on a retail shelf.
Expect holographic and metallic substrates for shelf-pop, variable batch & expiry printed inline, and high-contrast ingredient panels legible down to 6pt on curved tubs and narrow bottles.
For small tubs and dropper bottles where the full panel, dosage instructions and interactions won’t fit the visible face, we run multi-page peel & reveal labels of up to 4 pages, with a resealable top ply. The front stays clean, with the full panel under the top page.
Four things every customer gets on every job, in every sector we supply, printed labels and blanks alike.
