Avoid Common Labeling Errors: Use Mandatory Labeling Information Checklist

May 9, 2025│Office of Communications

Want to speed up the process of getting your label approved and your product to market? Our goal is to help you obtain a Certificate of Label Approval (COLA) on your first try, saving you time and effort by avoiding the need for corrections on your application. That's why we've developed handy checklists of mandatory labeling information for wine, distilled spirits, and malt beverages. These checklists outline the essential information TTB reviews on every COLA application, helping you prevent common mistakes.

Use these checklists when designing your label to ensure all required information is present and correctly placed and formatted, leading to the quickest possible approval!
