A beautiful label can still miss a line the law requires
One line missing, the whole run reprinted
If a printed label lacks a mandatory item, it has to be stickered over or reprinted. For high-volume packaging, that is the largest cost of the whole project.
Each sector has its own list
Food, health supplements, cosmetics and spirits each have their own items; the mandatory wording for health supplements must match word for word.
Vietnam's labeling law changed in 2026
Decree 37/2026 replaced the old rules from 23 January 2026 and allows much content on electronic labels. Labels printed before that date may be used for a limited time.
What people often ask
Does my product label show everything Vietnamese law requires?
Under Decree 37/2026 on product labels, a label must show the product name, the name and address of the responsible organization or person, the origin, and extra items by product type. The tool compares your label text or photo with those items and points out what it cannot find; the result does not replace legal advice.
Does this result replace a lawyer's opinion?
No. The tool only matches words in the text you provide, for a quick self-check. Before printing, compare with the original regulations or ask the competent authority for your sector.
Is my label photo sent anywhere?
No. The text in the image is read in your browser. The first time, the browser downloads a text reader of about 5 MB from sinhvu.com.
Can labels printed before 2026 still be used?
Under Decree 37/2026, goods made before 23 January 2026 with labels meeting the old rules may still be sold until their expiry date; labels and packaging printed before that date may be used for up to two more years.
