Who designs beverage packaging and labels that pass UAE rules?
360 F&B HUB designs can, bottle and snack packaging for brands launching in the UAE and GCC, and checks every label against GCC labelling rules and the product's registration file before print. Packaging design starts from AED 8,000 per SKU, excluding VAT. Because we also run registration and production, the artwork, the formula and the file match.
How much does beverage packaging design cost in the UAE?
Our packaging design starts from AED 8,000 per SKU, excluding VAT. The quote depends on the number of SKUs and the scope — a new brand look across a range costs more than adapting one existing label. Printing, cans and other materials are separate. Send a brief for a cost range within 2 working days.
Do you check Arabic and English label compliance?
Yes — it is part of the design work, not an extra. We check mandatory label content against GSO 9, the GCC standard for labelling prepackaged food, and the nutrition panel against GSO 2233, the GCC nutrition labelling standard. We also check that claims match the formula and that the label matches the registration file. For Saudi Arabia, SFDA requirements are checked too.
What must be on a food or drink label in the UAE?
A UAE label is in Arabic and English and typically carries the product name, net quantity, ingredients in descending order with allergens, nutrition information, production and expiry dates, storage conditions, country of origin and producer or importer details. Halal marking applies where required, and retail needs a GS1 barcode. Exact requirements depend on the product; we check yours against the rules.
Can you review a label I already have?
Yes. If your design is done, label review is included in our UAE registration package — AED 12,000 per product with Dubai Municipality registration and HACCP. If the review shows changes, we can make them under a design scope from AED 8,000 per SKU, or your own designer can. Either way, it happens before print. Registration in the UAE.
Why do beverage labels get rejected or reprinted?
Most often because the label was designed before the formula and registration were fixed: Arabic and English texts that don't match each other or the file, missing mandatory items, nutrition panels in the wrong format, or claims the formula can't support. Our order prevents that — registration and labels are checked before print. How it works.
Can I use my own designer?
Yes. We build the plan, you choose what to hand over. If your designer creates the artwork, we can run the compliance check through our UAE registration package, which includes label review, and brief your designer on what must change. Many brands combine their own agency with our registration and co-packing.
Do you design snack and food packaging too?
Yes. Snack and food packs need the same bilingual label, plus a barrier against moisture, oxygen and light that suits GCC heat. Snacks and food: scope and formats confirmed per product after a short call. We design the artwork and check the label the same way as for drinks. Published prices are for beverages; snack design is quoted per product. All services.
