Labelling
Blank, yours, or ours.
We work directly with the manufacturer, which means your artwork can be printed and applied at the factory before the vials are boxed. Your brand arrives finished. There is no relabelling step and no evening spent straightening stickers.
Factory printed. The same run can carry your name instead.
Blank
Default. No cost, no added lead time.
Clear glass, no printing of any kind, ten to a moulded tray with the lot number on the outer carton. Nothing identifies where it came from, including us. You label it however you want, whenever you want.

Your label
Your artwork, printed and applied at source.
Send artwork once. It is printed at the factory and applied before the vials are trayed, so what lands at your door is a finished product in your own name. Nobody in the chain handles an unlabelled vial and neither do you. The print file stays on record, so repeat orders carry no extra step.

Halden labelled
Our label, on the shelf now.
Stock already printed with the Halden Bio label, lot number and research use statement. Nothing to design and nothing to wait for. Useful while your own artwork is being set up, or if you would rather sell against a supplier name than build one.

What to send, so it prints right the first time.
A vial label is roughly the size of a postage stamp wrapped around a curve. Most artwork that fails does so because it was designed at screen size and never checked at print size. Send it to this spec and you will get a proof back the same day.

What we will not put on a label.
Dosing. Administration instructions. Reconstitution volumes. Any statement about what a compound does in a person, expressed or implied. Anything that presents the contents as fit for human or veterinary use, including pharmacy style formatting designed to read that way.
This is not us being precious. A research label carrying dosing is a drug label, and it converts a compliance question into an enforcement one for you as much as for us. Every label we print carries the words research use only, and that line is not negotiable.
Research use policyBuild the order first. Decide the label after.
Nothing about labelling changes the price. Price the basket, send it over, and tell us which of the three you want when we quote it back.
