Understanding Labeling, Packaging & Compliance for Ayurvedic Private Label Brands

Launching a private label Ayurvedic product requires more than just a good formula — it demands attention to labeling, packaging, and regulatory compliance. These elements directly impact your product’s shelfability, credibility, and legal standing. At Herbal Hills Wellness, we don’t simply craft Ayurvedic products; as a certified ayurvedic product manufacturer and ayurvedic third party manufacturer, we provide end-to-end support for designing, printing, and ensuring your products meet FSSAI, AYUSH, and FDA requirements. In this guide, we break down every essential step so your brand enters the market with confidence and compliance.

Why Labeling, Packaging & Compliance Matter

Good packaging and compliant labeling are critical for legally selling Ayurvedic products in India and abroad. Regulatory authorities such as FSSAI, AYUSH, and FDA insist on accurate product information, license details, and consumer advisories. Moreover, professional packaging enhances brand credibility, increases patient and doctor confidence, and meets the strict requirements of e-commerce platforms. Without proper compliance, even the best formulations risk being delisted or facing legal challenges. At Herbal Hills Wellness, we understand how essential it is to get every label and pack right from day one.

Required Licenses by Product Type

Depending on your product format, different licenses are needed. Herbal food supplements require an FSSAI license, while classical herbal medicines need AYUSH approval (Form 25D). Cosmetic or personal care products fall under FDA (Drug Department) jurisdiction, and herbal juices or syrups may need both FSSAI and AYUSH checks depending on composition. As your ayurvedic supplements manufacturer, we help you determine which license applies, guide you through the process, and include license numbers correctly on the label—eliminating compliance confusion.

Essential Label Information

Every private label product must clearly state several key elements: product name, net quantity, dosage form, manufacturing and expiry dates, batch number, MRP, and storage advice. Manufacturer name and address, along with FSSAI or AYUSH license numbers, must be visible. Ingredient lists — specifying plant extracts or Ayurvedic powders — must reflect content accurately. Dosage instructions, permitted health claims, allergen warnings, barcode/QR codes, and disclaimers all form integral parts of the label. Overlooking any of these risks non-compliance, penalties, or consumer distrust. Herbal Hills’ team meticulously reviews every design against regulatory checklists to ensure all info is compliant and clear.

How Herbal Hills Supports Packaging & Printing

We offer an end-to-end solution for packaging, labeling, and printing needs. You can provide your own label artwork or work with our design team to create an effective layout that meets FSSAI and AYUSH guidelines. We print labels in-house using quality materials—including gloss, matte, waterproof, and shrink-sleeve options—and apply them directly to bottles, cartons, pouches, and tubes. This seamless integration speeds up the process, reduces costs, and ensures consistency across SKUs.

Available Packaging Formats

Herbal Hills Wellness supports a broad range of packaging types suited for different product requirements:

Tablets / Capsules: PET bottles or blister packs with branded cartons
Powders / Churnas: HDPE jars or kraft pouches wrapped in outer boxes
Juices / Syrups: Glass or PET bottles in multiple sizes, shrink-wrapped and boxed
Effervescent Tablets: Airtight tube containers with optional individual cartons
Oils & Creams: Pump bottles, jars, or tubes in custom boxes

We help you choose packaging that preserves product stability, maintains brand image, and supports regulatory compliance.

Common Labeling Mistakes to Avoid

Even seasoned brands sometimes miss essential details on labels. Common errors include omitting the FSSAI or AYUSH number, including unapproved health claims, mismatching ingredient lists, missing batch/expiry info, using small fonts, lacking allergen warnings, or using terms like “cure,” which are prohibited. To prevent this, Herbal Hills Wellness conducts comprehensive cross-checks on every label design, catching errors before printing begins, safeguarding your brand from non-compliance and customer issues.
