I am starting to formulate pet care products and I was wondering about labeling. My products are still in the making but I wanted to start thinking about packaging and labeling. Where did you all come up with your labels and design? I did buy some bottles to see what design I will settle with but I am drawing a blank on where to get labels or how to print my own. Any ideas ladies? Thank you in advance,
Alicia

look under "Portfolio" and you'll see some examples of product labelling he has done in the past.(back when I did a bath and beauty product line)

Thank you Tina I will check his work out. I have no idea what something like that would cost. I am on a shoe string budget. I am hoping to have the products finished by the spring. I am starting with 2 main products in hope to add 3 more by the time the line is complete. Maybe he could email me a guess to a round about cost so I can see if what I need to get started. This business came as a quick idea one day and with hubby's encouragement I am trying to get it started. I am hoping to launch it for the spring but I am doing massive amounts of research just to see what I need to make the products.And I had no idea where to start for the labeling. The products will be for a very small niche market but I do think it is a good idea. I will tell everyone what it is once I get it together. Thank you so muhc for your help!!

Lady,

One thing you'll want to consider... check the regulatory agencies to see what's required. You'll want to make sure you have everything they need, and no more.

I remember many years ago when I had a product and listed the ingredients... found out I really didn't have to put as much as I did on the label.
