CLP Stickers - Combining Compliance with Compatibility

CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) regulations are labelling rules that apply to commercial, non-cosmetic products that contain potentially hazardous chemicals, like fragrances and essential oils. If you are a maker, producer or seller of products like candles, wax melts and home fragrances in the UK/EU, you will need CLP labels.

Luckily, our easy or order CLP labels will keep your wares compliant while staying compatible with the products in question. We print all our labels on quality paper (our cheaper and more environmentally option) or polypropylene plastic (PP) (our waterproof and more durable option) label material. We have two optional laminates (matt or gloss) and three supply formats (sheets, rolls or individual stickers) for you to choose from, as well. We also have two adhesives available, although we would strongly recommend choosing our permanent adhesive to best ensure your CLP labels stay on in transit.

What Needs to Be on a CLP Label

If you are new to printing CLP labels, you might not be clear on what information needs to be on them, or how that information needs to be formatted. If that sounds like you, read on.

CLP label breakdown

All CLP warning labels need to include the following information:

• Product name (and UFI, or Unique Formula Identifier, if the item is being sold in the EU or Northern Ireland)
• Type of item
• Item weight/quantity (if not mentioned elsewhere on the packaging)
• What fragrances or hazardous chemicals it contains
• Any allergen ingredients
• The appropriate signal word (‘warning’ for less dangerous substances; ‘danger’ for more dangerous substances)
• Any relevant hazard pictograms and statements (for example, a candle would require pictograms that represent ‘health hazard’ and ‘hazardous to the environment’)
• Address and contact details of the company that made the product

All required text and pictograms should be in black, with white backgrounds and red borders. This ensures that the information is as clear and easy to read as possible. All text must be in the official language or languages of the countries where the product will be sold. For more help in understanding CLP label requirements, take a look at the official guidance on the  ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) website.

Order Safety Labels Best Suited for Your Home Fragrance and Room Spray Products

Our CLP labels are completely customisable, and the ideal customisations for your labels will depend on the nature of your products and your brand’s identity. This is particularly true when considering label materials.

If, for example, you’re an independent candle maker who focuses on sustainability and reducing plastic waste, you might want to consider ordering paper CLP labels. Our paper materials are made from FSC-certified pulp to ensure responsible sourcing, and can be recycled with your paper or cardboard recycling. Stick paper labels to wax melt packaging or candle jars, and you can tell your customers your product packaging is as eco-friendly as the product itself.

However, if you make or supply products that require a more durable label, we would recommend using plastic CLP labels instead. Unlike paper, our PP materials are waterproof and tearproof, so they can be kept in outdoor or wetter environments without becoming damaged. These labels will also self-extinguish if they catch fire; an ideal safety feature for personalised CLP stickers destined to go on candles and wax melts.

If you need extra help deciding what CLP label customisations are right for you, why not get in touch with our Sales team?

CLP Label Features: Choose the Right Setup for Your Product

CLP labels aren’t just about the wording — they must stay attached and legible for the life of the product. Use the table below to choose a material, finish and format that matches what you’re selling.

Quick Picker (most common use-cases)

Your product / packaging Recommended material Recommended finish Recommended format
Candles & wax melts
Oils, fragrance residue, heat nearby 		PP (polypropylene)
Waterproof + tear resistant 		Matt or gloss lamination
Helps resist oils & scuffing 		Sheets (hand application) or rolls (higher volume)
Reed diffusers
Fragrance contact + handling 		PP (polypropylene) Gloss lamination
Easy wipe-clean finish 		Sheets or rolls
Room sprays / trigger bottles
Moisture + frequent handling 		PP (polypropylene) Gloss lamination
Resists rubbing & splashes 		Rolls (fastest application) or individual stickers
Outer packaging only
Boxes, sleeves, cartons 		Paper
Lower-cost & recyclable option 		No laminate (usually) or matt laminate (for scuff protection) Sheets

Tip: If your CLP information needs to be very small to fit, choose a durable material and finish that keeps text crisp and prevents smudging or scuffing over time.

What each option actually does (features & benefits)

Option Best for What to consider
Paper labels Boxed products, outer packaging, dry indoor use, lower-impact packaging choices Can mark or absorb oils/moisture over time. Not ideal where fragrance residue is likely.
PP labels (polypropylene) Candles, wax melts, diffusers, sprays and any product that may be exposed to moisture, oils or frequent handling Best all-round choice for durability and wipe-clean performance.
Matt lamination Scuff protection + premium finish with reduced glare (useful if labels are small and information-dense) Great for readability under bright lights and for a softer, luxury look.
Gloss lamination Maximum wipe-clean performance and resistance against oils, splashes and frequent handling Best for “handled a lot” products like sprays and retail-tested items.
Sheets Hand application, lower volumes, lots of SKUs, frequent small batches Easiest to store and organise. Ideal if you change CLP info regularly.
Rolls Higher volume, fastest application, consistent placement Most efficient for growing businesses and repeat batches.
Individual stickers Events, kits, flexible packing workflows, quick application without sheets Handy for small runs and when you want labels separated and ready to apply.
Permanent adhesive Most CLP use-cases, shipping, long shelf-life products, any item handled regularly Best for reducing the risk of labels lifting, peeling or falling off.
Removable adhesive Short-term use, temporary compliance for samples, or when labels must be removed cleanly Not recommended for most retail sales, as lifting in transit can cause compliance issues.

Compliance checklist (what you need to provide)

You provide We print clearly and consistently
Your CLP text & hazard details High-DPI print keeps small text legible and hazard pictograms sharp.
UFI number (if required) We can place UFI clearly within your layout so it’s readable without crowding.
Packaging size / where the label will go Any size/shape available to fit bases, jars, bottles, cartons and outer packaging.

If you want a second set of eyes on layout and readability, ask for design team assistance and we can help adjust your template before printing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If you want to commercially sell any non-cosmetic product containing hazardous chemicals in the UK or EU, you are legally required to include CLP information. Being caught not including this information can result in prosecution, hefty fines and even prison time of up to two years in the most extreme cases.

There is no standard size for CLP labels. But, as a general guide, packaging up to 3L in capacity fares well with labels measuring at least 52 x 74mm, and 3L to 50L packaging suits labels measuring at least 74 x 105mm.

A UFI (Unique Formula Identifier) number is a number needed for any chemical mixture classified as hazardous in the EU or Northern Ireland. You can get a UFI generated using ECHA’s online tool, which you can then add to your CLP label template for us to print out.

All CLP labels need to be firmly stuck onto the immediate packaging of the product. This can either be the product itself (such as the bottom of a candle) or the container the product comes in (like a bottle of essential oil or cleaning product). If the product contains further packaging that obscures the CLP label’s view, an additional label also needs to be on the outer packaging, so the CLP information can be seen before purchase.

You can print out your own CLP labels, so long as you have access to a printer and compatible label sheets. However, home printers tend to have lower resolution than professional-grade printers, label sheets can be expensive, and you will not be able to add lamination. We would, therefore, recommend ordering your labels from us instead - we’ll save you time, money and effort.

You do not need a license to sell homemade candles, wax melts or other products where CLP labels are a requirement in the UK. As long as your CLP information is accurate and your labels are added where they need to be (usually on the product itself and/or its immediate packaging), you are following all the legal obligations.
