The Ultimate Guide to Frozen Food Labels — YG tape

In the ever-evolving food industry, frozen food labels play a vital role in ensuring safety, compliance, and brand visibility. Whether you're a manufacturer, exporter, or packaging designer, understanding how to create effective frozen food labels can directly impact your product's success on supermarket shelves.

This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about frozen food labels—from regulatory requirements and material selection to label design, customization, and how YG Group can provide reliable solutions.

🧊 What Are Frozen Food Labels?

Frozen food labels are specialized labels designed to withstand low temperatures, moisture, and frost without losing adhesion or legibility. Unlike general packaging labels, frozen food labels must perform under freezing and thawing conditions while delivering critical product information to consumers and regulatory agencies.

A typical frozen food label includes:

• Product name

• Ingredients and nutritional facts

• Allergen warnings

• Expiry or best-before date

• Storage instructions

• Barcode or tracking code

These labels are often made using cold-resistant materials and adhesives to ensure they stay intact throughout the product’s cold chain journey—from production to retail.

📋 Regulatory Requirements for Frozen Food Labeling

Compliance is key when it comes to frozen food labels. Different regions have specific regulations that govern what must be displayed on frozen food packaging.

U.S. (FDA):

• Nutrition Facts Panel

• Statement of Identity

• Ingredient list in descending order

• Allergen declaration

• Net weight

• Manufacturer/distributor contact

EU (FIC Regulation):

• Multi-language requirements

• Country of origin

• Minimum durability date

• Font size standards

Asia-Pacific:

• Local language labeling

• Certification logos (e.g., Halal, HACCP)

• Labeling in both retail and bulk pack formats

Failing to meet these standards may lead to fines, product recalls, or loss of export licenses. That’s why it’s essential to choose a frozen food label solution that ensures full compliance with your target market.

🧪 Best Label Materials for Frozen Products

Choosing the right material is critical for producing reliable frozen food labels. Since these labels must endure moisture, low temperatures, and rough handling, selecting durable materials and adhesives is a must.

Common Materials for Frozen Food Labels:

• Synthetic Paper (PP/PET): Resistant to tearing, moisture, and frost

• Thermal Transfer Paper: Ideal for variable data like batch numbers and expiry dates

• Removable Labels: Used for temporary frozen applications (e.g., plastic containers)

Adhesive Requirements:

• Freezer-grade permanent adhesive (-20°C and below)

• Moisture-resistant surface coating

• Food-safe, FDA-approved adhesives

Labels that fall off or become unreadable in cold storage environments damage both consumer trust and brand integrity. That’s why YG Group offers high-performance frozen food labels engineered for durability and readability.

🎨 Design Considerations for Frozen Food Labels

Beyond functionality, design is where frozen food labels make your product stand out.

Key Design Elements:

• Legibility: Use bold fonts with strong color contrast for visibility under frost

• Layout: Prioritize regulatory elements, then marketing content

• Brand Identity: Maintain consistent colors, logos, and messaging

• Scannability: Ensure barcode placement and sizing meet industry standards

• Multilingual Content: Essential for export markets like the EU or Southeast Asia

A well-designed frozen food label not only meets compliance but also increases consumer appeal at the point of sale.
