Pet Food Labels
Pet food labels are the printed or digital information displayed on pet food packaging that provides important details about the product, such as its ingredients, nutritional value, and feeding guidelines. These labels are typically required by law to include specific information, such as the product name, net weight, guaranteed analysis, and a list of ingredients.
Pet labels are growing as an industry and in today’s market, which is why it is essential that you are meeting your competitors with attractive branding that will set your product apart. We have an assortment of materials and sizes to choose from, as well as services available for custom-printed labels and label sizes. If you are in need of these urgently, we can dispatch our stocked products same-day if ordered before 4pm Monday-Thursday.
If you would like to test any of our quality materials, you can order a sample pack to get a feel of what material or adhesive works best for you:
Requirements for Labelling Pet Food Labels

Net weight: The amount of food in the container should be listed in metric units.
Ingredient list: The ingredients must be listed in descending order by weight, meaning the first ingredient listed is the most predominant and the last ingredient listed is the least.
Analytical constituents: This section should provide information about the minimum and maximum percentages of crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, and moisture in the food.
Additives: This section should list any additives or vitamins added to the food.
Feeding guidelines: These instructions should provide guidance on how much food to give based on the animal’s weight and age, and how often to feed.
Batch number: This is a unique code that identifies the batch of food the product came from.
Best before date: This indicates the date before which the food will be at its best quality.
Name and address of manufacturer or supplier: This includes the name and address of the company responsible for the product, as well as a phone number or website for customer inquiries.
It’s important to note that there may be additional information included on pet food labels, such as feeding recommendations, caloric content, or special claims, but the above nine pieces of information are required by law in the United Kingdom.

Pet Labelling Materials
If you are looking for a label where durability doesn’t need to be a top priority, we have matt white paper labels that are not only cost-effective but suitable for both laser and inkjet printing. These labels can be used to display important allergy and ingredient information, company branding, and manufacturing details. We can supply a large quantity of these labels, and get them shipped out the next day. Whether you are a large reseller or a small homemade business, these are great cost-effective labels. They are especially popular with sweets and confectionaries, as you can purchase these labels in larger quantities if you are selling your items in bulk.
These waterproof plastic labels are made from polyester. They are great for displaying your product branding, ingredients, allergens, and other information professionally while also providing a layer of water resistance to protect your labels from any oils and vinegars that may come into contact with them.
Our biodegradable labels make a great eco-friendly alternative. Made out of sugar cane waste and hemp linen fibre, these labels are fully biodegradable, compostable, as well as vegan-friendly, If you are promoting food made out of healthier or eco-friendly ingredients, these would be an excellent fit.
Perhaps you need a label that adds an essence of warmth and homely aesthetics to your good products. Perfect for small businesses looking to give off an approachable feel. These labels will stand out with their unique ribbed texture.
Another highly popular material is our coloured labels in red, green, blue, and yellow. If you need your products to stand out and be noticeable, adding some colour is a great way to do this! You can even use different colours to differentiate different flavours on your pet snacks and treats!
