Product labeling: standards and problems that may arise.

What do we mean when we talk about labeling?

The labeling of products is one of the essential parts of any industrial process. One of the objectives of the label is that the final consumer finds a series of data that will be of great interest to him when he is going to consume the product in question.

The description, risks, or applications of the product must be present on the label. If we talk about the food industry, you should also always include the expiration date.

What is the process of industrial labeling?

Today, there are different types of equipment and special machines for product labeling. What should we consider to choose one of them?

Product

The product that we are going to label.

Location tag

The location of the label on the product.

Data

The data that should go on the label.

Accession

How we want to adhere said label in the product.

Size

The size of the product will influence the speed of labeling of our machine, it must be taken into account.

All industrial processes require this machinery at some point to organize and identify all their products: for the monitoring and realization of inventories, for their visual and technical identification, or to maintain order within a warehouse. In short, it is essential for any company that values the industrial process as it should.

What can happen to us if we mislabel a product?

They say that knowledge is power. In this case, knowing the laws on the labeling of products can save us a large number of problems. Next, we will review all the complications that may arise if we do not perform this process correctly:

• In the first place, and especially in the food industry, we can cause serious health problems for consumers.
• Can also bring us serious economic problems, or dirty the good name of the company, if there is a recall of the product.
• The government or the corresponding ministry can punish us and impose a large fine.
• All this will entail losing the trust of customers, both distributors and consumers.

What are industrial packaging techniques?

Industrial processes during packaging. What is the difference between them?

• Primary process: we talk about the first package. It is in direct contact with the product. This should be visual and interesting, since it will be the one that the client receives at home.

• Secondary process: in this case we refer to all the boxes and wrappings, of different sizes and materials, which group the containers until they form a load unit. As soon as it reaches stores or department stores, it is usually discarded and discarded.

• Tertiary process: with this we refer to large-scale packaging. It contains a very important amount of products and is designed to optimize its storage, safely, until its sale.

Materials used and labeled

It is very important that the packaging has clearly and concisely printed the conditions of use and the contents of the package. As for the food, they should always have the expiration date on the packaging. On the other hand, chemical products must be signaled with the risks associated with their use.

The size of the container must be adequate to optimize the entire space of the pallets and containers. It has to be finished with the usual closing tabs, which will help us to know if the package has been opened before reaching our hands.

The most common materials used to package products are: cardboard, glass, paper, aluminum, cellulose, or laminated fabrics.
