Package markings are symbols, signs or textual information about the features of the products placed inside. Allows the consumer to get an idea of the purchased product: the look, what it is, what it is made of, expiration date, application features, etc. The structure can be in the form of a pictogram, emblem (picture), the text of their combination or other designations by national or international standards.
- Text – meaningful information about the offered products.
- Drawing is a visual representation that allows you to get an idea of the product quickly.
- Designation – encrypted information in generally accepted pictograms and symbols.
REQUIREMENTS FOR PACKAGING LABELING
The primary documents regulating the rules for marking packaging are national, for example, GOST, or international standards, including, for example, TR CU 021/2011 or 022/2011. Following the requirements of regulatory enactments, all products on the market are marked, so that information about the product sold and the package itself is applied to the packaging or label. First of all, this is the material from which it was made, as well as the possibility (method) of its disposal.
SM Custom packaging is providing the best custom packaging for small business.
The labeling of any product must contain the following data:
- name;
- country where the product was manufactured;
- the manufacturer or it is representative (authorized person);
- legal entity factory (representative) address;
- dimensions;
- structure;
- single pictogram;
- date of manufacture;
- Batch number, guarantees.
Additionally, other information can be applied, taking into account the characteristics of a specific product. For example, for manufactured goods, it is necessary to indicate the types and proportions of natural raw materials and chemical additives, the model, and generally accepted symbols that determine the features of care.
