Label systems for vial products

Thirty products shouldn't look like thirty companies.

Most vial lines get designed one SKU at a time, by whoever was available that month. The result is a catalogue that reads as a dozen unrelated brands. We build the whole line as one system — every compound, every strength, one identity.

Why catalogues drift

It is rarely one bad decision. It is thirty small ones, spread over two years.

1

Piecemeal by nature

A new compound ships, someone makes a label. Six months later another one ships and a different person makes a different label. Nothing was wrong at any single step.

2

The constraints are brutal

A 40 × 20 mm face has to carry a brand, a compound name, a strength, storage conditions, warnings, a lot number and often a barcode. Every designer solves that squeeze differently.

3

Nobody owns the system

Individual labels have owners. The relationship between labels has none — so it degrades quietly until a customer lines up four vials and notices.

One system, many products

Three different brand systems, each applied across a full line. The point isn't that any one label is clever — it's that everything inside a system agrees, and the systems don't look like each other.

How it works

01

Send your product list

A spreadsheet is perfect. Compound, strength, vial size, and any warning or storage text you're required to carry. If you already have labels, send those too — knowing what you're moving away from is useful.

02

Choose a direction

You get several distinct systems to react to, each shown across three of your real products rather than a single hero label. Picking a direction from one label is how catalogues end up inconsistent.

03

The line gets built

The chosen system is applied across every SKU. Same margins, same hierarchy, same treatment of strength and lot data on all of them.

04

Files, and a printer conversation

You receive layered vector artwork and renders. Tell us who prints for you and we will match their specification — bleed, die line, colour and minimum sizes — before you send anything to press.
