      • The Government Warning is inserted from a locked constant and tested for exact text.
      • The sulfite line appears only when sulfur dioxide or sulfiting agent(s) are at 10 ppm or more.
      • Each beverage mode validates the brand, class/type, ABV, net contents, responsible name, and address.

      This tool assists label composition. The producer remains responsible for TTB COLA approval, formula needs, state rules, container-specific type size, and any ingredients or claims not covered here.

      About the Beverage Label Generator (US TTB)

      Securing Certificate of Label Approval (COLA) from the TTB requires strict adherence to federal formatting rules for alcoholic beverages. Our US TTB beverage label generator helps brewers, winemakers, and distillers automatically format the mandatory Government Warning, class and type designations, and sulfite declarations. Generate compliant typography and layouts to streamline your federal approval process and bring your product to market.

      How it works

      1. Select the class of your beverage (e.g., wine, malt beverage, distilled spirit) to load specific requirements.
      2. Enter the alcohol by volume (ABV) and net contents.
      3. Provide the bottler's name and address as legally registered.
      4. Toggle the sulfite declaration if your product contains 10 ppm or more of sulfur dioxide.
      5. Generate the final file featuring the precisely formatted Government Warning.

      Frequently asked questions

      What are the exact formatting requirements for the TTB Government Warning?

      The words 'GOVERNMENT WARNING' must be in capital letters and bold type. The remaining text must be continuous, and the font size is dictated by the container volume (e.g., minimum 2mm for containers over 237ml).

      When is a sulfite declaration required on an alcoholic beverage?

      The TTB requires a sulfite declaration, such as 'Contains Sulfites,' on any alcoholic beverage containing 10 or more parts per million (ppm) of sulfur dioxide.

      Do all alcoholic beverages need TTB label approval?

      Most alcoholic beverages containing at least 7% alcohol by volume require a Certificate of Label Approval (COLA), while malt beverages are subject to the Federal Alcohol Administration Act depending on state laws.

      How should Alcohol by Volume (ABV) be formatted?

      ABV must be stated as a percentage (e.g., 'ALC. 12% BY VOL.' or '12% ALC./VOL.') and typically must appear on the brand label, adhering to specific type size limits.
