Industries We Serve
Labels for the industries that demand the most
Since 1986 we've made labels for products that have to survive a cold chain, scan at a dock, meet a labeling panel, or hold up on a plant floor. Five core industries, one plant in Hillsborough, NJ, and the barcode verification that keeps them all scanning.

Start from what you make
Pick the closest fit and see what CLS builds for that industry, from material and adhesive to the data on the label. Not sure where you land? That is a conversation we have every day.
I make…
Best when Your product is refrigerated, iced, or has to earn its place on a retail shelf.
Food & Beverage Labels
Labels that survive refrigeration, ice baths, and condensation, and still look right on the shelf. From craft breweries to large food manufacturers, matched to the container and the cold chain.
- FDA-compliant materials meeting 21 CFR for indirect food contact
- Wet-strength and freezer-grade constructions for the cold chain
- Nutrition Facts, allergen, date and lot coding, and UPC barcodes
Best when You sell vitamins, supplements, or protein products.
Nutraceutical & Supplement Labels
Labels for vitamins, supplements, and protein products, printed to your approved artwork with the Supplement Facts panel and lot and expiration data these products carry.
- We print your Supplement Facts panel to meet 21 CFR Part 111 labeling requirements
- White and clear BOPP and polyester for bottles and jars
- Lot and expiration variable data, retail and Amazon FBA ready
Best when You make an OTC, personal care, cosmetic, or health-and-beauty product.
OTC & Personal Care Labels
Labels for over-the-counter, personal care, cosmetic, and health-and-beauty products, built to your approved artwork with the durability and finish these categories expect.
- We print your Drug Facts or cosmetic panel to your approved artwork
- Clear film for the no-label look; tamper-evident constructions
- Lot and expiration variable data; barcodes verified to ANSI/ISO
Best when You ship into retail or run a warehouse, DC, or fulfillment operation.
Logistics & Shipping Labels
GS1-128 compliance labels, SSCC pallet labels, and warehouse identification for distribution centers, 3PLs, and e-commerce fulfillment, graded so they scan the first time.
- GS1-128 and SSCC-18 to your retailer's receiving spec
- Warehouse rack, bin, and location labels on durable stock
- DOT hazmat labels per 49 CFR; ANSI/ISO barcode verification
Best when Your label has to survive a plant floor, a warehouse, or the outdoors.
Manufacturing & Industrial Labels
Durable product labels, asset tags, rating plates, and safety labels built to survive chemicals, heat, solvents, UV, and rough handling on the plant floor.
- Polyester, polyimide, and vinyl rated for chemicals, heat, and UV
- GHS and OSHA safety labels; asset and work-in-process tags
- Overlaminates and high-temperature adhesives for harsh environments
Labels by industry
What industries does Certified Labeling Solutions make labels for?
Food and beverage, nutraceutical and dietary supplements, OTC and personal care, logistics and warehousing, and manufacturing and industrial. Since 1986 we've built labels for products that have to survive a cold chain, scan at a dock, meet a labeling panel, or hold up on a plant floor. Most jobs draw on the same presses and the same barcode verification, matched to where the label actually works.
Can you print the required panels for my product?
Yes. We print your Nutrition Facts, Supplement Facts, or Drug Facts panel to your approved artwork, holding the small type crisp and legible, and we flag legibility and barcode issues before production. Food-contact label materials meet 21 CFR requirements for indirect food contact, and every barcode is verified to ANSI/ISO before the roll ships.
Can you match a label to my industry's requirements?
Yes. The industry decides the material, the adhesive, the finish, and the data on the label. A beverage label needs a wet-strength face stock and a cold-chain adhesive; a pallet label needs a graded SSCC barcode; an industrial label needs to survive solvents and heat. Tell us the application and we specify the construction, then send a sample before you commit to a run.
Do you serve small businesses or only large manufacturers?
Both. Our focus is medium-to-long production runs, with a largest single run to date of 5 million labels, but we also work with smaller brands and startups. Send your specifications and we'll give you pricing and the minimum for your job, with a response within one business day.
What if my industry isn't listed here?
We produce labels for many applications beyond these five. The question is never the industry name, it's what the label has to do: the surface it sticks to, the environment it lives in, the data it carries, and how long it has to last. Send us the application and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
