Unveil the ultimate packaging innovation with our Raschel bags on rolls, engineered to elevate freshness, efficiency, and visual allure for fruits and vegetables alike.
For more information, please visit our website.
Primarily targeted at large packing houses with automated packaging systems, offer ideal packaging solutions for fruits and vegetables due to their air-permeable netting. While commonly used for packaging potatoes, onions, our Raschel bags on rolls provide an economical, efficient, and effective packaging option, designed to preserve the freshness of produce. The net structure allows for visual inspection and quality checks at the point of purchase, while the loose-knit design ensures excellent ventilation, preventing moisture buildup.
Potatoes and Onions benefit from being packed in large Raschel mesh bags after harvest due to improved ventilation, strength, protection, uniformity, and ease of storage and transportation.

Your labels aren’t only aesthetic branding pieces that should make you look good—first and foremost they are “information sheets”. The efficient label needs to provide your customers with relevant and accurate information so that they are sure your product does answer their needs (and why you’re better than competition).
Especially with food, the critical consumer needs everything to be clear before buying your sweet offerings. Your custom labels should instruct them how to enjoy your products to the fullest, and this includes info about list ingredients (percentages, allergens if any, substitutes, etc.), safe handling and storage (so they can eat it in the form and freshness level that it was meant to be enjoyed in), and other brand benefits to make your case when comparing your offerings with another product.
Your goal in printing your custom confectionery labels is to provide your customers and prospective customers with something well-presented that will validate food facts and give them peace of mind.
Yes, pretty labels will get you noticed—but correct and accurate labels are what set well-built businesses apart from the impulsive, any-way-the-wind-blows rookie. We’ve seen it with our clients. Correctly-assembled labels gets (and gets to keep) more customers.
If you’ve tried to reference the FDA Food Labeling Guide, you’ll know that all these “labelling requirements” and regulations jargon can get extremely confusing real fast. However, following the guide is key in making sure your custom confectionery labels make the cut, especially with discerning prospective customers. What to do?
[Tweet “We outlined the FDA Food Labeling Guide into this simple and concise manual just for you.”]
Keep in mind though that there are still exceptions and variations to the guidelines for specific product categories. When in doubt, check the full FDA Food Labeling Guide for complete details. You can simply annex the information based on what section it is that you need to clarify. Still saves you tons of time.
Let’s begin with defining the labels that you’ll be printing. These are called “Label Panels” and are the lifeblood of your products, especially if you don’t have a comprehensive website just yet.
Your confectionery custom labels must have at least two distinct areas, and these are the Principal Display Panel or Primary Display Panel (PDP) and the Information Panel (IP). Both will of course correspond with label “artwork”, the term we use for files that go to print. The PDP and IP can be separate, front and back labels, or one large wraparound label, depending on what you feel will suit your container/packaging style.
A.K.A. your front panel, or the main label that is meant to catch the attention of your customer
This is the first thing customers see if you’re selling these in retail. These would be the labels (or part of a large wraparound label if you aren’t printing two parts) that will be front-oriented to be displayed on store shelves.
What your product is (formally known as the Statement of Identity [link to section below]) and how much of the product is in the packaging (your Net Quantity Statement[link to section below]).
A.K.A. the supplemental panel, which holds supporting information or elaboration on ingredients, people, and processes
For the IP, you’d want to place that to the right, left, rear, top, or bottom of the PDP, but primarily this would be on the immediate right. Place it elsewhere (left, rear, top, or bottom) if your packaging style makes it hard to place the IP on the right of your PDP. It’s important that you EXCLUDE any graphics or unnecessary art elements here. We want to be as clear and straightforward as we can with the presentation of information.
1) Name + address of manufacturer (who created the product), the packer (who placed the product in its packaging), or distributor (who moves the product into stores or local shops where customers can purchase the product)
If you’re the manufacturer and you are listed in the current directory or book, you can simply put city or town, state, ZIP (or mailing code if you’re outside the USA). If you aren’t listed, it’s required that you include your street address. However, if your assembly line also includes an outsourced packer and distributor, make sure to include their relation to your product (“manufactured for”, or “packed by”, or “distributed by”).
2) Chances are, your confections are comprised of two or more ingredients—this is the requirement to include an ingredient list.

Ingredients need to be listed from greatest to least by weight and must be found on the same panel as your product’s name and your firm’s address. This can be placed before or after the nutrition facts, depending on your preferred layout.
If your main ingredients are composed of sub-ingredients (your homemade cake syrup, for example) you can make this more cohesive by listing the main ingredient first and then listing what you used to make this main ingredient, enclosed in parentheses. It would look like this: CAKE SYRUP (CORN SYRUP, WATER, COCOA, SUGAR, VANILLA)
Alternatively you can just list down all your sub-ingredients as main ingredients. Again, remember to list everything from greatest to least by weight. In this case, remove “CAKE SYRUP” and simply list down everything that you used to create your sweet sensations.
3) Nutrition Facts need to be specified and placed together with the ingredients list + name and address on either PDP or IP.
If you’ve got a ton of text on your IP, Nutrition Facts will go on the immediate right panel, or on any highly visible panel on your packaging. More on how to design and present info on the Nutrition Facts section below.
4) Are you using ingredients in your product formula that are classified as allergens? Check out the eight major allergens below.
– Milk
– Eggs
– Wheat
– Fish (should be specific)
– Crustacean shellfish (should be specific)
– Tree nuts (should be specific)
– Peanuts
– Soybeans
If so, you need to add allergen labelling, and this text must be as large as the ingredients text. For naming on your confectionery labels, there are two ways to do this.
–> You can list the major food allergen followed by the name of its food source in parentheses: “whey (milk)”.
–> You can also start with the word “Contains” followed by the food source immediately after the ingredients: “Contains: milk.” If more than one, list all the allergens after each other: “Contains: eggs, peanuts, and soybeans.”
Advisory allergen labelling isn’t required, but you can certainly add this as long as it doesn’t interfere with the other required info: “May contain eggs, peanuts, and soybeans.” or “Processed in a facility that also processes eggs, peanuts, and soybeans.”
If your confectionery products contains alcohol in excess of 1⁄2 of 1 percent by weight, that fact must be stated on your label. If you’re selling directly to consumers as in trade fairs and events and have unpackaged or unlabelled products that are ready-to-eat, you should have a written notice at your stall or shop to let your customers know of this. The FDA states that confectionery products must not contain any alcohol in excess of 5 percent by weight.
Make sure that all relevant info on your label is easy to read. Legible fonts will be more consumer-friendly. Chances are, if your labels are hard to read and some information are concealed because of this, they won’t be buying your product. Good copy and branding should be supported by readable text styles and sizes. A good benchmark would be to make sure your smallest text is at least 1/16 inch in height. If you’re selling outside of the USA, accurately-translated text in the native language/s of where you are elsewhere selling is and investment you shouldn’t cut corners on.
