Packaging & Label Design for Canada Brands

We design bilingual packaging and labels for Canadian food, natural health product and cosmetic brands, and for US brands expanding north. English and French are planned from the first layout, so panels don't become cramped when the second language is added late. Labels start from about C$210 ($149) and packaging from about C$420 ($299) per design, quoted with a fixed price within 24 hours. Licensed cannabis and CBD products are handled separately because of Canada's plain-packaging rules. You receive print-ready files with dielines, bleed and barcode placement, ready for your Canadian printer or co-packer to run.

Labeling requirements in Canada

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) enforces food labelling, and Health Canada oversees nutrition, natural health products and cosmetics. English and French are generally both required.

  • Food: the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations and Food and Drug Regulations cover bilingual labelling and the Nutrition Facts table.
  • A front-of-package "high in" nutrition symbol has applied since January 1, 2026 to foods over the thresholds, with some exemptions.
  • Supplements: most are natural health products and need a Natural Product Number (NPN) on the label before sale.
  • Cosmetics: a bilingual ingredient list in INCI format, plus a Cosmetic Notification Form filed with Health Canada.
  • Quebec: French must be at least as prominent as any other language. Since June 1, 2025, non-French trademarks need registering to qualify for the exception, and generic terms within them must also appear in French.
  • CBD: regulated under the Cannabis Act, with plain packaging, the standardised symbol and licensed sale only.

We lay out the regulatory text and claims you supply; final regulatory review stays with you or your regulatory adviser.
