The label is one of the most important considerations when developing a food product. It is how consumers identify your brand from the rest on the shelf. It will also become an important part of your marketing plan.
When designing a label you should consider the following:
- Function - a primary label will have the required regulatory information and ingredients listed. It could also include other design elements used for marketing the product.
- A secondary label will include information that is not essential or required by law.
- Promotional and security labels can also be applied to the product.
- Application - removability, application surface, application temperature, storage and display of product, shape of surface to be labeled, exposure to moisture, application method, time of application and recyclables.
- Label construction - glue, inserts, pressure sensitive, or expanded content
