General Label Template

Need to create a label file for which we don’t have a template? Use the general label template.………….

Why do I need to create product label files?

Labeling requirements of various kinds apply to essentially all consumer products sold in the EU and the US. For example, country of origin labeling is mandatory in the United States.

Further, children’s products sold in the US must have a tracking label. This often also applies to the packaging. Likewise, similar requirements exist in the EU and elsewhere.

Product and packaging labeling is often mandatory, and it’s up to you as an importer or manufacturer to ensure that your products are correctly labeled.

Which countries/markets do the label templates apply to?

We currently have templates applicable in the European Union and the United States. That said, you can use the General Label Template to create and store label files required in other countries – such as the UK, Australia, and Canada.

At what stage should I create label files using the templates?

You need to ensure that your products are correctly labeled the moment the items come off the production line. Keep in mind that most labels must be permanently affixed – not attached in the form of a sticker that can be easily removed.

You must therefore create all relevant label files before your products enter production. If you work with outsourced manufacturing it’s important to submit all files to your manufacturer at the same time – or before – you place your order.

What am I supposed to do with the label files I create?

You must submit all label files to your manufacturer, or use the files internally if you are manufacturing products for yourself.

Keep in mind that you may also need to use Adobe Illustrator if you wish to add additional graphics – or apply the downloaded label file to an existing design (e.g. packaging artwork).

What can happen if my products are not correctly labeled?

Products that are not correctly labeled can be subject to recalls, or removed from marketplaces such as Amazon.

Do you have templates for all required product and packaging labels?

No, we only provide the templates listed on this page. We do not include templates for all label types in existence – including in the EU and US. Further, additional labeling requirements sometimes do apply to products covered by document templates provided.

Do you help us to fill out the product label templates?

You need to fill out the label templates yourself. However, once you have created a label file you can submit it to our support team for a review. We then compare it to the label template.

Keep in mind that we cannot know for sure that you have written correct information in your label file. For example, we cannot know if the product model or SKU, country of origin or other mandatory labeling information is correctly specified.

How many product label files can I create?

You can create as many label files as you want using the templates. There is no limit on the number of label files.

Do you keep the product label templates up to date?

We review official websites, such as the EU Official Journal and the CPSC website. Please see the Monthly Review Methodology for a complete list of sources.

Our aim is to implement changes and updates after their announcement. That said, expert a delay from the time of announcement until we have implemented the update into the relevant product label template. Further, there is always a risk that we miss updates, or that an update is not announced in the sources we monitor.

Do you plan to add additional product label templates?

Yes, we plan to add additional product and packaging label templates to the Compliance Gate Platform.

Do you have product label templates for the United Kingdom?

We currently don’t have any product label templates for the UK. However, you can still use the general product label template. That said, some of the EU label templates may be similar (or even identical) to UK requirements.

Do you have product label templates for Australia?

We currently don’t have any product label templates for Australia. However, you can still use the general product label template.

Do you have product label templates for Canada?

We currently don’t have any product label templates for Canada. However, you can still use the general product label template.
