Try stick to what they need to know on the front label such as the product name, any logo or branding, any measurement info and a tagline if you have one as well as a short description of the product.

It is a good way to create a separator between information and to create a distinction too. When you use white space, it can create a more calming feel. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t include some kind of illustration or decorative element. If you use some vibrant or colourful illustrations that can show off the product personality visually.
