OTC, personal care & cosmetic label manufacturing
Precise labels for the panel your customer reads and the barcode the retailer scans
We manufacture labels for over-the-counter, personal care, cosmetic, and health-and-beauty brands, contract packagers, and distributors across NJ, NY, PA, and nationwide. We print your Drug Facts panel, cosmetic and supplement labeling, lot and expiry codes, and verified barcodes to your approved artwork, and flag any legibility or barcode issue before press.

Anatomy of an OTC & personal care label
What these labels have to carry, and how we build it
Tap each marker. These are the parts we print and check on an OTC or personal care label, each built to your approved artwork and verified before it ships.
Drug Facts / cosmetic panel
The Drug Facts panel on an OTC monograph product, or the ingredient and net-contents copy on a cosmetic. We print the panel to your approved artwork, holding the small type crisp and legible at the sizes it calls for.

Match the construction to the container
Pick your container, see the build we recommend
Face stock, adhesive, and finish are decided by the container and how it is handled, not by preference. Choose the container you are packaging into.
Bottle (HDPE / PET / glass)
Liquids, lotions, and OTC liquids. A moisture-tolerant wrap that stays legible through handling on a humid bathroom or pharmacy shelf.
- White BOPP with permanent or removable adhesive
- Clear BOPP for the no-label look on glass
- Front-and-back or wrap-around sized to your bottle
- Drug Facts or cosmetic panel at legible small type
Tube (creams & topicals)
Squeeze tubes for creams, gels, and topical OTCs. The label flexes with the tube and shrugs off oils and repeated handling.
- Conformable face stock that flexes with the tube
- Materials that resist oils, creams, and rub-off
- Clear or white BOPP depending on the look
- Lot and expiry printed inline as variable data
Jar (cosmetics)
Wide, low jars for balms and cosmetics. A curved wall and a premium look put the weight on a clean face stock and finish.
- Conformable BOPP for the jar's curve
- Soft-touch, matte, or gloss finish for shelf appeal
- Clear film for the no-label look
- Tamper-evident lid seals available
Pump & spray
Pumps and sprayers for personal care. The label lives in constant contact with the product and moisture, so the bond has to last.
- Moisture-resistant face stock and adhesive
- Wrap-around labels that stay down at the seam
- White or clear BOPP for the look you want
- Barcodes verified to ANSI/ISO before they ship

OTC & personal care label FAQ
Can you print labels for OTC and personal care products?
Yes. We print labels for over-the-counter, personal care, cosmetic, and health-and-beauty products: bottles, tubes, jars, pump and spray bottles, and cartons. We build the label to your approved artwork on durable materials, with lot and expiration variable data and barcodes verified before they ship.
Do you help with OTC Drug Facts or cosmetic labeling layout?
We print your Drug Facts panel and required cosmetic and supplement labeling to your approved artwork, holding the small type crisp and legible, and we flag legibility, bleed, and barcode issues before production so the panel comes off the press clean.
Can you print lot numbers, expiration dates, and serialized codes?
Yes. We print lot numbers, expiration dates, and sequential serial numbers as variable data inline with your label run — no separate coding step — and verify every barcode to ANSI/ISO with 100% inline video web inspection. This covers supplement and OTC traceability and unique-code programs.
What label materials work best for OTC and personal care bottles?
White BOPP is the standard for bottles and jars that see moisture; white polyester (PET) holds up to solvents and harsher handling; clear BOPP gives the no-label look on personal care and cosmetic containers. Tamper-evident constructions are available for caps and closures. We specify the right face stock and adhesive for your container and storage conditions.
