Sports Nutrition private label for Belgian brands

Belgian retail requires label copy in Dutch, French and German at once, and that requirement is a pack-layout decision rather than a translation afterthought — it shapes how much panel space is left once three full language blocks are placed, a constraint worth weighing before a format is chosen rather than after artwork is drafted.

FPS Health notification issues a filing reference comparable to a NUT-style number used elsewhere in the region, and it functions as a notification rather than a pre-clearance. Retail itself runs through the pharmacie/apotheek channel, grocery and DTC, and Port of Antwerp's logistics position is worth noting for a brand planning wider EU distribution alongside a Belgian launch. Sports Nutrition itself targets performance and active-lifestyle brands building energy and recovery ranges here, so keeping to format-and-occasion wording matters even more given the trilingual constraint alone leaves less room for anything else.

Practically, a compact single-serve format leaves the most panel space free for three languages, so it is worth testing that constraint with samples before committing to a jar-format range.

The catalogue's Sports Performance tag group — the BCAA Stick, Creatine Quick Strip, BCAA Soft Chew and Creatine Jelly Stick — covers four single-serve formats that keep the printed panel small, which matters directly where Dutch, French and German all need to appear on one pack. Each format carries one of the catalogue's two lead actives without a shared SKU doing double duty.

The five-SKU creatine range (Creatine Gummies plus the two stated sachet weights and the strip/jelly formats above) and the BCAA Gummies jar sit alongside as a larger-format complement once a brand is ready to widen past the compact core. Caffeine Focus Gummies and Bone & Joint Gummies extend the wider Performance & Energy set further.

The catalogue's Energy & Focus line — six further formats spanning capsule to lollipop — gives a Belgian range room to widen into adjacent territory later, using SKUs already in the catalogue.

Because three official languages compete for space on one Belgian pack and FPS Health notification tracks the wording actually printed, the samples-first sequence settles two things at once here: which compact format carries the trilingual block cleanly, and whether the claim wording holds across all three languages before spec lock.

• Order samples against your compact-format shortlist. Validate the actual formula and pack intended for launch in a single-serve format first; a jar-format range can follow once the trilingual layout is proven.
• Trilingual artwork. Every artwork file and pack layout for this market is written in Dutch, French and German; line up all three translations alongside sampling rather than staggering them after production is scheduled.
• Personalisation boundary. Under Make it Yours, flavour, colour and shape are open to change on an existing format. Any change to active load or to the format itself goes through a per-project feasibility review before spec lock — from there it becomes Custom Formula R&D work.
• Compliance ownership. Every on-pack claim and the FPS Health notification itself remain the brand owner's responsibility; DAT Supply's role is preparing the documentation set that filing relies on.
