We are a full service facility providing contract filling as well as contract labeling for your quality products. We are able to fill many varieties of packaging materials. Call us for a quote. We will need the following information and components from you before we are able to provide you with a quote for custom filling:

• Minimum run requirements are 25 gallons for wet products or 200 lbs for dry products

• Relevant packaging materials in quantities of three (3 bottles, 3 caps, 3 labels)

• Labels.  Call your local label company to design your own or contact Rose City Label. If we are applying the label for you, make sure to see the label specifications below.

• Work with an artist or design your own label, but remember that all products for use on the body have specific requirements. We do not provide nor design labels.

• Allow 4-6 weeks after we have received your labels, bottles, etc., plus your deposit and signed contract for your order (the time may be less, ask at the time of order).

Labels:

Do your homework. Please check out the FDA website for up-to-date information on labeling requirements.

When communicating with your label company, please make sure to tell them our machines use Rewind #3 (see the picture below). If labels are rewound differently you will be charged for un-winding and re-winding.

More information on Labeling:

• When making your labels, allow extra time to get them to us.  Your production time quote does not start until we receive all items to be used in your order such as labels, bottles, fragrance, or special ingredients.

• Paper labels should be coated with a UV or similar coating to avoid “scuffing” of the label in transport.  It is preferable for toiletries with paper labels to have a coating to guard against smearing when they come in contact with moisture.  Consult your label professional for additional help.

• Make sure your label company tests its adhesive on the type of bottle you are using, whether ours or other packaging.

• We must see and approve the shape and size of your labels prior to quoting pricing and scheduling on a production run.  Odd shapes or sizes may not fit on our assembly machine and may require hand labeling, which is more expensive.

• The label core size required to fit on our machine is a 3” core.  Please let your label company know.

• Ship the labels to: RainShadow Labs, Attn: Contract Filling Crew.

If you are providing bottles for RainShadow to fill and you are not using one of our stock bottles, we must see the bottle and cap prior to quote to confirm that the quote will be correct.  Unusual shaped packaging may not fit into our assembly machine and may require hand labeling that would affect the quote.  In order for a time quote to be done, we will need you to mail us 3 of each of your bottles, caps, and labels.

**You MUST mention that you are a RainShadow Labs customer to get these special prices**

All skin care and toiletry labels are required by law to list the following:

• Maker or distributor (by name) of the product and means for the customer to reach you.  Use company name, address, and phone number. RainShadow Labs as a private label manufacturer does not need to be listed on your label.

• Ingredients in the order that they appear in the formula.  The ingredients must be identified by their botanical or FDA International Standard (INCI) name first, then in ( ) behind the FDA name, they must be listed by their common name.  All our stock ingredient decks are listed here in this catalog. We will supply you with the ingredient deck for any custom designed RainShadow products.

• Description and use of the product is nice, as is the fragrance name, but it is not required.

• Actual weight of product both in USA and Metric Weight measurements (see weights and measure scales below).

• Include any warning statements needed (for example, foot analgesic or bug repellent might say “Warning-not for use in or around the eyes”).

• All private label items must comply with all federal, state, and local cosmetic labeling and packaging regulations. This is your responsibility; however, we would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

• See FDA website for recent revisions
