I need labels as soon as possible but my order quantity is over 10,000. Can I have my order expedited?
The American Law Label team is focused on preventing production delays for our customers. Using our Priority Print Service, we can print and ship part of your order as quickly as the next day while the rest of your order is under production. This can help you keep the quantity price break without slowing down your production.
What is the process of ordering law labels from American Law Label?
QUOTE: To generate a quote, we’ll need some information about the product and the manufacturer. The quote will depend on the size of the label (which will change depending on the product) and the quantity being ordered. Filling out a Request Quote for New Items form or Request a Quote for Secondhand/Sanitized Items form is an easy way to get ball rolling.
PROOF: After the quote is accepted a member of our team will design the artwork for your label. This artwork proof will be sent to you for final approval.
PRINT & SHIP: After artwork is approved the order will be placed in production queue. Our typical turnaround time is 3-5 business days. If you need a quicker turn around time let us know that you that you would like to use our Priority Print Service.
What is a Uniform Registry Number (URN)?
The URN identifies the manufacturing facility that produced the product. This can be any factory in the world whose products are sold in the U.S. In most states, Law Labels are required to include a Uniform Registry Number (URN). When a manufacturer registers in a state, it is issued a Uniform Registry Number (URN). This URN can then be registered in the other states requiring registration. So, only one URN is needed per factory. Only a manufacturer can be issued a URN. A single manufacturing company with multiple plants must have a different URN for each plant location.
How can I get a URN?
The process of registering can be complicated. Our sister company, Global Registration Services, Inc., can help you though the process.
How do I describe the filling in my product on the label?
The filling must be described in its generic form; trade names cannot be used. They must be listed with their percentage of total filling by weight. They must be listed in order of descending percentage and adding the percentages together must equal 100%. Below is a current list of acceptable generic filling terms. If you’re still not sure how to list your filling material, contact our knowledgeable team!
