Product label design is more than just putting a logo on a package—it’s about communicating your brand story, product value, and compliance in one powerful visual. At WEFORDESIGN, Dubai’s expert in branding and packaging, we create custom product labels that catch the eye, deliver clarity, and drive consumer trust across the UAE’s competitive market.

Why Product Label Design Matters

In fast-paced retail environments—from supermarkets to boutique stores—a product has just seconds to grab attention. A strategically designed label can be the difference between making a sale or being overlooked.

According to a Forbes report, 60% of consumers say product labeling influences their purchasing decision.

Key Elements of High-Converting Product Label Design

1. Brand Identity Consistency

Your product label must clearly reflect your brand’s visual identity—including your logo, typography, color palette, and tone of voice. This consistency helps customers instantly recognize your brand across multiple SKUs and builds long-term loyalty and trust on the shelf or online.

2. Hierarchy & Readability

Effective labels use visual hierarchy to guide the consumer’s eye. Important elements such as product name, key benefits, and usage instructions must be prioritized, while secondary details like certifications and ingredients should remain accessible yet unobtrusive for easy comprehension at a glance.

3. Regulatory Compliance (Dubai/UAE)

In Dubai and across the UAE, product labels must comply with specific guidelines set by Dubai Municipality and ESMA. This includes accurate Arabic and English translations, clear expiration dates, batch numbers, barcodes, nutritional values, and ingredient lists to avoid legal or retail distribution issues.

4. Material & Print Finish Selection

Choosing the right material and print finish is essential for both durability and aesthetic appeal. Whether it’s matte, gloss, metallic foil, or eco-friendly substrates, the finish must align with the product’s purpose, packaging type, and market positioning to stand out effectively in retail environments.

5. Packaging Compatibility

Your label should be tailored to the packaging form—bottles, jars, tubes, or boxes. We ensure proper sizing, shape alignment, adhesive compatibility, and print tolerance so the label fits seamlessly without wrinkling, peeling, or distorting during application, shipping, or storage.
