Hand Sanitizer Labels

Order a new set of hand sanitizer labels tailored exactly to the container’s shape and in your brand’s colors. You can create or upload a design in individual cut-to-size or roll label formats. Cut-to-size is recommended for order quantities below 250 pieces, while the roll type is best for bulk orders above 250 labels.

Hand sanitizers are being mass produced to help slow the spread of COVID-19. However, drug manufacturers identified to produce them are unable to keep up with the demand. The FDA has provided temporary labeling guidelines in preparing these products for companies that don’t classify as drug manufacturers. Distilleries and other non-drug manufacturers may follow this policy to ensure their hand sanitizers are produced according to these safety guidelines. Here are some of the important FDA requirements for your custom hand sanitizer labels.

The principle display panel (PDP) must take up 40% of the hand sanitizer’s front side. This should cover the entire side for a rectangular package. The PDP must also show:

1. Statement of identity or what the product is and its use, e.g. hand sanitizer. This may also include your company name.
2. Net weight (in mL) is the measured amount of product in the container.

Your drug facts panel should contain the following information, according to this listed order:

1. Active ingredients must be listed in alphabetical order and their corresponding purpose included for easy association.
2. The purpose of the product
3. Product uses
4. Specific warnings, such as when the product should not be used and/or if usage requires consultation with a doctor or pharmacist beforehand.
   
   If there is more than one statement listed under the “Use(s), Warnings, Directions or Other Information” section, precede each line with a bullet. The example below is taken from the FDA’s sample guidelines:
   
   Ask a doctor before use if you have *heart disease *glaucoma *high blood pressure *thyroid disease *diabetes *trouble urinating due to an enlarged prostate gland *a breathing problem such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis
5. Dosage instructions or usage directions
6. Other important information such as how to properly store the product
7. Inactive ingredients

Include the manufacturer’s name and address on the information panel. If you are not the manufacturer, place the name and address of the packer or distributor. Provide other helpful information like your contact details (email, phone number, website) for consumers to reach you.

Hand Sanitizer Label Printing FAQs

Q: Is hand sanitizer regulated by the FDA?
