    personally I wouldn't see any product without one as serious.  the FDA can provide you the template or the co-packer can give you one, in tall or wide format.  If you plan on selling to stores or want to look professional I would suggest having one in some shape or form... the same would be like...

    bottles-jars shrink bands for 5 oz. woozy bottles?

    you can get multiple sizes for standard woozy bottles.  The normal 5oz has a few color choices.  But technically you can get the wide-mouth size that also incldues silver, gold and other colors, you just have to be a tad bit careful with how it shrinks down (by hand)...

    Crowd Sourced Pepper Database

    Quick question, how would the site prevent people from reviewing their own products / shills?  I've seen some review sites with some pretty obvious self-reviews before, or someone having all their friends rate their products 10/10 etc

    misc Anyone have experience using WooCommerce?

    I use WP and WooComerce.  I have had no issues with it, infact I found it pretty easy.  Maybe because I have a technical mind after 20 years in IT, I dunno.  The plugins are as you expect, some great ideas, but the popular/beneficial ones cost money.  Example: dynamic shipping by weight, per...

    Trying to find a place that will certify SHU of a product

    http://www.ushotstuff.com/hotSauceHeatScale.htm   Was one site I came upon, but it seems a bit... incorrect.   In any case, if I wanted to send my finished products out to be tested for a SHU rating, how would I go about this?

    bottles-jars Check out these promotional bottle openers I got a deal on

    my nails are a result of washing my hands a million times a day, vinegar, and all kinds of abuse haha.  working on the car doesn't help either. While I do have a UPC code assigned to them, I only have enough for the promo sets I was going to make (2 pack, bottle opener, coupon).  I should have...

    bottles-jars Check out these promotional bottle openers I got a deal on

    I got a great deal on these from Lazer Designs.   These are going in as promo/thank you items to select stores, bars and also have a UPC code so they will be available as merchandise on my booth.   They had the perfect match of anadized red with lazer etching that looks like a spitting image of...

    Using a 3x6" white gloss with overlaminate, rounded corner, #4 wind on roll:   $50 per plate (color) $98 for 1000 (9.8 cents each) $182 for 2000 (9.1 cents each)   So each variant will cost me $198 for 1000 plus shipping   This line is on hold temporarily as I try to figure this out...

    labels Sam & Oliver Sparks, Flare & Burst (dry spice labels)

    Plot twist: Even though I'm only making 50 bottles at a time, I have to buy 1000 labels at a time.  I may have to find an alternative to the label production, and maybe print them myself.   I'll update soon.   Edit: clarified production type

    labels Sam & Oliver Sparks, Flare & Burst (dry spice labels)

      It's based off a recipe for adobo seasoning I got from the food network actually a while ago.  But I tweaked it to fit a variety of things.  Tons of stuff.  From a fry seasoning to veggies, to on a sandwich, to a rub on a pork shoulder... on chicken, then onto the grill it actually forms a...

    These are a low-cogs line of add-ons for booth sales.  My main focus is still sauces.  (hot and bbq) - these are blends that I use myself, and asked a spice mill to blend for me so I have them to sell as addon and secondary sales.   "for the sake of having it?" kind of.  I'm simply counting on a...

    No salt or sugar.   Technically a 4-pepper that contains gourmet grind black pepper, red pepper, chipotle, smoked paprika   various other trace spices.   I don't know why I don't just call it 4-pepper.  Hmmph

    should it be wilty?  Also, before we even go there, is the color ok?  I got rid of the purple and went with a pink/orange for mango, the adobo is a dry brown ( I didn't use turmeric so there's no yellow in it), and the pepper one is well, you can see it.   Is the background too loud?  Should I...

    yes, it's in the notes, just something "to do" - I've added that to the update notes and it should be fixed next revision.  I also don't have the actual true weight until the products are officially measured.
