Custom fold-out label printing
Fold-out labels are an excellent way to include a large amount of information in a limited space. The inner leaflet is protected by a kind of easy-open sandwich structure, allowing it to be consulted multiple times. Thanks to this protection, the booklet maintains perfect visual quality before, during, and after use.
Uses of multi-page labels
Booklet labels are generally used in:
- Pharmaceutical products: to include instructions for use in products with limited space.
- Chemical sector: allows including the MSDS directly on the product, without providing a separate leaflet.
- Agrochemical sector: as in the chemical sector, fold-out labels allow manuals to be included on the product.
- Promotional sector: includes discounts, gift codes, and additional information on the product.
Their main advantage is that they expand the information of a product by making the most of the available packaging space, without the need for a separate leaflet or manual. Fold-out labels are supplied on rolls and applied automatically, just like a standard adhesive label.

Advantages of using booklet labels in product packaging
Booklet labels offer advantages that go beyond regulatory compliance. They allow extensive information to be included without increasing the size of the packaging: multiple pages with all regulatory information, detailed instructions, and multilingual content, while maintaining a clean and attractive external design.
They improve the consumer experience: information organized by pages, instructions with illustrations, recipes, or additional applications. This is especially valuable in premium products where communicating value justifies the price.
They optimize operations: a multilingual product can use a single reference instead of multiple SKUs per language. They simplify inventories and facilitate international distribution. When regulations change, only the booklet label needs to be reprinted without redesigning the entire packaging.
They provide differentiation: they convey quality and professionalism, enable brand storytelling, and educate about certifications. The inner space can include promotions, QR codes, or loyalty programs without affecting the permanent design.
At Grifoll, with FSSC 22000 certification and over 50 years of experience, we advise on optimal page configuration, specific materials depending on the application, and carry out functional testing to ensure that booklet labels maximize all these advantages.
How to choose durable fold-out labels for food packaging?
Labels for food products face demanding conditions: refrigeration, contact with fats, moisture, and constant handling. At Grifoll, we have over 50 years of experience specializing in labeling solutions for the food industry, with FSSC 22000 certification ensuring the highest standards of food safety and traceability.
Our technical team analyzes each case specifically: type of food, storage conditions (ambient, refrigerated, frozen), contact with fats or moisture, and product shelf life. Based on this information, we recommend the optimal combination of material and adhesive: specially protected papers, synthetic materials (PP, PET), cold-resistant adhesives, grease-resistant adhesives, or solutions suitable for freezing.
We carry out resistance tests before final production: cold adhesion tests, grease resistance, accelerated aging, and transport simulation. All our materials have declarations of conformity for indirect food contact, complying with European regulations (EC) 1935/2004 and (EU) 10/2011.
Types of fold-out labels used in food packaging
The food industry uses different types of extended content labels depending on the specific needs of each product. At Grifoll, we work with all formats and advise on the most suitable option:
Booklet labels: The most versatile format, featuring a multi-page leaflet (4 to 32 pages) bound with a spine. Ideal for dietary supplements, organic products, and functional foods that require extensive regulatory information.
Resealable peel-off labels: A top layer that can be peeled off and reapplied multiple times. Perfect for frequently used products that require repeated access to information.
Multi-layer labels: Several stacked layers (up to 8) without a spine. Excellent for multilingual products or when extensive information is needed on small packaging.
Other formats: Accordion (step-by-step instructions), adhesive flaps (promotions), and roll labels (extremely extensive information).
With FSSC 22000 certification and over 50 years of experience, we help you choose the optimal format based on the amount of information, available space, storage conditions, and budget. We also develop customized hybrid solutions that combine features from different formats.
