How it works
From safety data sheet to printed label
Three steps. It runs the same way for a candle, a wax melt, a reed diffuser or a room spray, and the differences between them are handled for you.
Step 1
Upload your supplier safety data sheet
A safety data sheet, often shortened to SDS, is the document your fragrance oil supplier must give you free of charge. It lists what the fragrance contains and how it is classified.
Drag the PDF in. We pull out the classification, the hazard statements, the allergens you have to declare, and the substances that drive it. If something we need is missing, we tell you which line to ask your supplier about.
Takes about a minute. Keep the PDF, because suppliers issue a new version when a fragrance is reformulated.
Step 2
Enter your fragrance percentage and pack size
Tell us the fragrance load, for example 8 per cent, and the pack size, for example a 180 g candle or a 100 ml diffuser. Add your business name and address, since that has to appear on the label as the supplier.
The classification of your finished product depends on how much fragrance is in it, not on the neat oil. That is the step most spreadsheets get wrong. Change the percentage here and the label changes with it, including which precautionary statements apply.
Sell the same fragrance in a second pack size and that is a second SKU, because it is a second thing on a shelf. It gets its own label.
The same fragrance in three pack sizes counts as three SKUs. Your plan sets how many you can hold, and the pricing page defines the unit.
Step 3
Check it at true size, then download it
The preview is at true size, so you see the label as it will print. Check your product name, your address and your batch code against it before anything is committed to a roll.
Pictograms and regulated text hold the minimum sizes the rules require, whatever else you change. When it looks right, take it away as a print-ready PDF or an SVG and send it to your label printer.
Export is on every plan, including Free, and the file is identical on all of them. Your plan sets how many SKUs you can hold. It has no bearing on what comes out.
The output
What ends up on the label
If a line is on the label, it is because CLP requires it for a product like yours.
- Product name and pack size, with net weight or volume
- Hazard pictograms at the required minimum size
- The signal word, Warning or Danger, where one applies
- Hazard statements, the H codes, in full sentences
- Precautionary statements, the P codes, chosen and combined
- Allergen declarations from the fragrance, such as linalool and limonene
- Your UFI, that is a Unique Formula Identifier, generated and set where poison centre rules require it
- Batch code and date fields
- Your business name, address and contact details as the supplier
- Candle, melt, diffuser and spray safety wording, such as burn within sight
- CLP text set at the minimum size your pack size requires

Around the three steps
The rest of what it handles
The jobs that sit either side of the label itself.
Your UFI, on the label and in the right place
The Unique Formula Identifier is generated and set where the poison centre rules require it, at the size they require. You still make the notification yourself, because that is a submission to an authority rather than a label.
A label that looks like yours
Choose the label size, set the type size and the line spacing, and put your own logo on it. The regulated text holds its minimum sizes whatever you change around it, so a 40 mm tin still gets legible hazard wording.
A warning when your supplier reissues
A reformulated fragrance changes the classification, and the classification changes the label. When a new safety data sheet lands for one of your fragrances, we tell you which of your SKUs it touches.
Every line on every plan
Free builds the same label as Consultant. Same hazard statements, same pictograms at CLP Annex I sizes, same allergen declarations, same export. The plans are metered by how many things you sell.
Scope
What Batchlabel does not do
It does not approve your label
We build the label against published CLP requirements from your inputs. We do not certify or verify it, and the finished label stays your responsibility as the seller.
It does not check your data
If the safety data sheet is out of date, or the percentage you enter is wrong, the label will be wrong. Garbage in, garbage on the tin.
It does not replace other duties
Poison centre notification, weights and measures rules and packaging duties are all separate. We only do the label.
