Style Profile

The Style Profile feature enables users to define and apply specific formatting rules for Nutrition Facts templates. This ensures consistency and compliance with regional labeling regulations.

A standard U.S. Nutrition Facts table typically includes three primary sections:

  • Label Header – For example, the title Nutrition Facts must appear in bold with each word capitalized.
  • Macronutrients – Items like Total Fat, Cholesterol, and Added Sugars. This section may include additional formatting rules such as indents or extra descriptive text (e.g., “Includes 10g Added Sugars”).
  • Vitamins & Minerals – Items like Vitamin D or Calcium often follow specific alignment and styling rules.

Regional and Country-Specific Variations

Nutrition Facts templates vary not only by region (e.g., U.S., EU) but also by country within those regions.

For example:

  • The European Union follows regulations from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
  • However, Spain may enforce additional guidelines from the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition.

How Style Profile Helps

  • With Style Profile, you can, define regulatory authorities (e.g., FDA, EFSA).
  • Customize formatting rules for each element such as set text to bold, uppercase/lowercase, Apply indents, add prefixes/suffixes (e.g., “Includes” for Added Sugars) and much more.
  • Ensure accuracy and consistency with official templates.

This configuration allows teams to easily generate compliant Nutrition Facts tables directly within the system, ready for use in packaging artwork.
